Earlier today, we were pleased to help King County Parks celebrate their 75th anniversary with the announcement of the new King County Parks Foundation.

Created to reflect the variety of needs and users of its parks and trails, the Foundation will be devoted to cultivating private-sector philanthropy to connect communities to regional trails, open space and parks and to support the resiliency of the parks system for future generations. As the foundation’s mission statement implies, the funds will go toward a variety of priorities that include:

• Connecting existing green space and trails,
• Growing parks and trails by supporting new acquisitions of land and easements, and
• Increasing recreational opportunities across King County’s parks and trails.

We’re proud to be partnering with King County Parks on this important mission and hope you’ll join us by lending your support. Find out more about the foundation at ourparksourfuture.organd in this recent story from the PSBJ.
