King County Executive Dow Constantine to retire

Dow Constantine
King County Executive

King County Executive Dow Constantine has announced that he will not be running for re-election.

It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve the people of King County, but it’s time to let a new leader take the reins and build on the work we have done, and so I will not be seeking re-election.

We must stay the course of progress, always advancing toward a future worthy of every person who is here today, and all who will follow.

I look forward to continuing to focus on our critical work of transit and transportation, climate action, behavioral health, affordable housing, arts and culture, and all we do to create a welcoming community where every person can thrive.
