Kathy Lambert King County District 3 Councilmember returned to the club to give us a county update. She prepared all of us for a large tax increase as a result of education and transit decisions.

Many of the county bridges are in need of maintenance and improvements along with roadways. Kathy talked about a number of county efforts and also shared a chart on how much it costs to maintain a road versus a complete re-build which is exponentially higher.
