District 7 Spring 2020 Update Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer District 7 Update Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer District 7 Update District 7 Spring 2020 Update kingcounty.gov/vonReichbauer facebook.com/pete.vonreichbauer Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer District 7 Update Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer District 7 Update Dear Friends: The first quarter of 2020 has been challenging as we grapple with the effects of an unprecedented pandemic. Government at all levels is working quickly to respond to the harsh impacts of COVID-19. As you know, I am committed to sharing new information with you as it becomes available to deal with the ongoing coronavirus crisis. On a lighter note, please take a moment to see some of the highlights of the first three months of 2020, prior to mandated social distancing, as well as additional resources that could help you or your family. King County is facing the challenge of COVID-19 head on. The virus is continuing to spread in King County and across Washington State, creating challenges for our health care system. With that said, we should not panic; if we all act collectively to practice social distancing and good hygiene, we can blunt the spread of this virus, and begin getting back to normal life. We have been compiling resources to help people with financial needs during this unprecedented time. You can view the comprehensive resource guide my staff and I compiled on my website. You can also find resources on theKing County Council website, including options to download each page as a PDF if you would like to share it with others or keep it handy. You can also visit the King County coronavirus page and read updates from Public Health on the Public Health Insider blog. kingcounty.gov/vonReichbauer facebook.com/pete.vonreichbauer Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer District 7 Update REMINDER: STILL FILL OUT YOUR CENSUS FORMS The 2020 Census is ongoing during the pandemic. The decennial count of all people residing in the United States is used to allocate public resources over the next decade along with representation in state and federal government. People are encouraged to respond to the census by mail, phone or online. The more people respond via these options, the fewer workers will be sent out into the field later this year to conduct in-person counts.

  • Councilmember Pete Von Reichbauer
    Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer Biography: King County Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer works to make government more accountable. Pete has served in various leadership positions on the council, including two years as Chair of the King County Council (2000 and 2001), six years as vice chair of the council, and an unprecedented three years as chair of the Budget and Fiscal Management Committee. Prior to his election to the King County Council, Pete served as a member of the Washington State Senate where he focused on fiscal and consumer issues while chairing the Senate Committee on Financial Institutions and Insurance. As a state senator and councilmember, Pete has promoted expanding parks and recreation facilities as well as enhancing public and private support for education. Accomplishments Some of his notable achievements on the King County Council include forging public/private partnerships to protect the Hylebos Wetlands (a near shore salmon breeding habitat), helping fund the construction of the South King County Baseball fields, blocking the development of Sexual Predator Housing in residential areas of South King County, and securing the acquisition of Bingamon Pond as a County Park. In addition, von Reichbauer helped fund and rebuild Redondo Beach Drive, facilitated the construction of the Federal Way Transit Center and the 317th HOV ramps on Interstate 5, and worked with state and federal authorities to help construct the I-5 Triangle interchange in Federal Way. In the 1990s King County was threatened by numerous secession proposals that would have split the regional government into separate counties. When Pete became chair of the Council, he responded to this issue by hosting an unprecedented 20 public meetings outside the Courthouse, in the process building stronger communication with the County’s rural residents and 39 cities.
