The only constant in life is change. The Vashon-Maury Island Community Council is no exception. Throughout its decades of existence, it has taken many forms, with many different people meeting many different challenges.
At the end of last year, the King County Council essentially defunded the Vashon-Maury Island Community Council (VMICC) and the rest of the Unincorporated Area Councils (UACs) and tasked the King County executive with formulating an alternative by April 15. The alternative the county council recommended was a commission of representatives from all of the six current UACs. No explanation for this move was given. Since that time, the county executive’s staff has been meeting internally (and occasionally with the UACs) to facilitate this change.
