About
The Willowmoor Project's Stakeholder Advisory Committee is a group assembled to review, comment on, and make recommendations regarding the Willowmoor project. It is not a decision-making body. The committee will serve as a sounding board at key project milestones. Members have been selected by the King County project team and the King County Flood Control District to represent a wide range of interests in the project area, including residents, businesses, community groups, property owners, park users and public agencies.
Primary tasks
- Articulate desired future outcomes of the project from stakeholder organization perspectives.
- Help to develop project alternatives.
- Assist in the selection of a “preferred alternative” for the project.
- Exchange information and ideas with the project team and other stakeholders.
- Disseminate information about the project to their membership and peers.
- Provide a public voice to help guide the project toward implementation.
