Lawmakers representing Washington’s 33rd Legislative District will host a community town hall from 2 – 3:15 p.m. this Sunday, Feb. 22, at Highline College, offering residents an opportunity to hear updates from Olympia and ask questions about issues affecting south King County.

State Sen. Tina Orwall and state Reps. Mia Gregerson and Edwin Obras are scheduled to provide legislative updates and engage directly with constituents during the event.

The free event will run from 2 to 3:15 p.m. in the Mt. Townsend Room in Building 8, the Student Union, at Highline College (map below). The event is open to the public, and community members are encouraged to arrive early to secure seating.

The 33rd Legislative District includes SeaTac, Des Moines, Burien, and Normandy Park, along with most of Tukwila, southern portions of Renton and parts of Kent.

Lawmakers will take questions and engage in discussions about issues affecting the region.
