King Conservation District (King CD) will hold a district-wide election for an open seat on its board of supervisors next Tuesday, March 16.

King CDN, working with Bellevue-based election administrator Election Trust, will provide seven polling locations throughout the district.

Candidates for the position include Mary Embleton of Seattle, Mara Heiman of Auburn, Teri Herrera of Redmond, Kirk Prindle of Seattle and Max Prinsen of Renton.

Information about the procedures for the election are available online.

The polling locations closest to Renton are:

• AUBURN: King County Library/Auburn Branch, 1102 Auburn Way S.; poll hours

• BELLEVUE: King County Library/Bellevue Regional Branch, 1111 110th Ave.; poll hours 10:30 a.m. – 8 p.m.

Registered voters who reside within the district, which encompasses most of King County, are eligible to vote in the election, with the exception of residents of cities that do not fall within the King CD’s boundaries (Federal Way, Enumclaw, Skykomish, Milton and Pacific). Voters must present proper identification, such as a driver’s license, passport or birth certificate.

The all-volunteer, five-member board includes three elected members and two who are appointed by the Washington State Conservation Commission. All

supervisors serve three-year terms. The board of supervisors conducts regular public meetings to oversee the district’s budget and provide guidance and oversight to district staff.

The King CD provides information and technical assistance programs available to all landowners within the district’s boundaries (most of King County) on a voluntary, non-regulatory basis. The district provides grants for conservation-focused projects and programs, and initiates community outreach activities that include workshops, education programs, site visits, farm plans, and consultation on land, water and wildlife management.
