Lawmakers representing Washington’s 33rd Legislative District will host a community town hall from 2 – 3:15 p.m. this Sunday, Feb. 22, at Highline College, offering residents an opportunity to hear updates from Olympia and ask questions about issues affecting south King County.
State Sen. Tina Orwall and state Reps. Mia Gregerson and Edwin Obras are scheduled to provide legislative updates and engage directly with constituents during the event.
