Next week, on March 16, voters will elect a new member to the King
Conservation District, which directs millions of natural resource
dollars. You MUST VOTE IN PERSON on March 16th! No mail in ballots.

The King Conservation District (KCD) is a natural resource agency
authored by Washington State. KCD programs range from assisting farmers
with creating conservation plans to investing in environmental
protection and habitat restoration programs.

There are 5 candidates, including one from the sustainable agriculture
community, Mary Embleton, Executive Director of the Cascade Harvest
Coalition.

The other candidates are:
Mara Heiman, Former John L Scott Agent
Teri Herrera, Realtor, John L. Scott Real Estate
Kirk Prindle, Biologist, City of Issaquah
Max Prinsen, President of Save Habitat And Diversity of Wetland

Unlike other King County elections, the KCD election process requires
that voters show up in person at polling locations - there is no
absentee or mail in ballots. Last year only 2,700 people voted in this
election.

A list of all the polling locations and hours are below. Please take a
minute right now to plan where and when you can vote next Tuesday, March
16.
