Four Creeks Stewardship Agreement

A community partnership agreement will benefit the Four Creeks community by making improvements to a community park and a wetland that also helps control storm water in the Four Creeks area. The recently signed “Four Creeks Agreement” creates a partnership between King County, the Four Creeks Unincorporated Area Council and two community groups – the Community Alliance to Reach out and Engage, and Stewardship of Wetland Areas by Neighbors.

Have an opportunity for FCUAC funding?

Although the funding mechanism for the UAC has changed, Four Creeks intends for some funding available each year for community benefit projects. Out support of National Night Out is an example. This year, the UAC is also working on a project to make high-quality maps available to residents in the Four Creeks area.

If you have an idea for a project that would provide broad benefit in the Four Creeks area, send it along to your email address or contact a current member.
