Regional Transportation Summit

Focusing on transportation issues both north and south of Interstate 90 — from Eastgate to North Bend — Issaquah Mayor Fred Butler recently invited state, county, city and agency leaders to a Regional Transportation Summit on Nov. 22, 2016, in Issaquah.

Initial goals include sharing information about transportation issues; building coalitions; and identifying next steps that could make a difference.

Along with King County Executive Dow Constantine, the following mayors plan to participate: Bellevue, Covington, Maple Valley, Mercer Island, North Bend, Renton, Sammamish and Snoqualmie.

Representatives from regional agencies, including state legislators; Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT); King County councilmembers; King County Metro; Sound Transit; and the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) also plan to attend, and participate in the dialogue.
