Major attractions: In district four you'll find the Olympic Sculpture Park, Seattle Center, the Space Needle, Seattle Art Museum, Seattle Aquarium, Pike Place Market, Benaroya Hall, Myrtle Edwards Park, Discovery Park, Golden Gardens, Carkeek Park, the Hiram Chittenden Locks, Gas Works Park, and Green Lake.

Nearly every week during the spring, summer and fall you'll find farmers' markets in Ballard, Magnolia, Phinney, and Fremont. Enjoy the fresh food and handmade items while supporting your local farmers and crafts people!

King County Facilities: District 4 is home to one of King County's major facilities located in Discovery Park in Magnolia -- the West Point Wastewater Treatment Plant, which treats an average of 133 million gallons of wastewater daily. If you live in Seattle, your wastewater goes there. King County is responsible for most wastewater treatment in King County, much of which takes place at West Point, South, and Brightwater Wastewater Treatment Plants. The system treats over 200 gallons per day, serving 1.5 million people living in most urban areas of King County and parts of south Snohomish County and north Pierce County.

We're proud to be doing our part to keep Lake Washington, Lake Union and Puget Sound healthy and safe for the people, plants and animals that depend on it.

King County also provides grants every year for neighborhood parks and open spaces in Seattle, including Wild Places in City Spaces, Youth Sports Facility grants, and Conservation Futures funding. I'm very glad the county can assist these efforts.

People: Many district four residents are active in their communities. Constituents contact me often with concerns or questions, or just to keep me up to date on various issues. With the help of my staff, each month I respond or provide outreach to over 1500 individuals and community organizations.

Downtown is the largest employment center in the state of Washington, while South Lake Union is one of the fastest growing job and residential centers. Major employers like Amazon, the Gates Foundation, Amgen, and Adobe are headquartered in District 4.

District 4 is home to many transit riders who take advantage of the transit options available in the district, including King County’s Metro bus system, Sound Transit’s Link light rail, the South Lake Union Streetcar, and the Seattle Center monorail.

All of district four is within City of Seattle boundaries, therefore the county doesn't provide city services to district four residents (road maintenance, pet licensing, neighborhood police patrol, etc.). You should contact the city first if you have questions about those services, but please let me know if you do not get an adequate response to your concerns.
