The League of Women Voters of Seattle’s Observer Corps, which began in 2006, consists of a small and devoted group who closely follow the work of local government bodies in King County, including several committees of the Seattle City Council and the Mercer Island City Council. The presence of League observers serves two main functions: to ensure that our membership and relevant League committees are well-informed about actions and plans of city government, and to help make sure government agencies are fulfilling their responsibility to be transparent and accountable to the citizenry.
New members are always welcome to join in this rewarding activity. Volunteers can select observation committees of special interest of themselves, with the assurance that the time commitment is limited to once a month. For more information, please contact us at 206-329-4848, or at info@seattlelwv.org.
