Houghton Community Council Action
At the March 22 meeting of the Houghton Community Council (HCC), the HCC approved Resolution 2021-3 relating to the continuance of the Houghton Community Council.
Approval of the Resolution will put the continuance of the Community Council for four more years (starting January 1, 2022) to a vote of the people that reside within the HCC boundaries.
Along with the vote on whether to continue or not continue the Houghton Community Council, the November ballot will include elections for seven Houghton Community Councilmember positions who will serve for the four year term if the continuance of the HCC is approved by voters. If you are a resident within the HCC boundaries (see map) you can file to run for one of these Council positions. King County has produced an elections Manual with the necessary information on filing, including dates and forms. The Manual can be accessed here.
More information on the Houghton Community Council can be found on the City of Kirkland web site - Houghton Community Council.
