Publicola calls it…

The most important election you’ve never heard of, for a seat on the five-member King Conservation District board, is happening next Tuesday, March 16, at seven libraries around King County. The district gives out conservation grants and oversees land use in rural King County; the decisions it makes determine whether wetlands and habitat are protected or developed into suburban sprawl.

‘Cola notes that candidate Max Prinsen has the support of many environmental groups. You can vote at the downtown library between 10:30 AM and 7:30 PM.
