About the project

There’s a lot of deep, impactful work happening in South King County. We want to communicate first-hand the challenges and victories we have navigated alongside one another, and invite others — in our communities and throughout the region — to join us in celebrating South King County and supporting the communities who live here.

Together: Stories of South King County was created and driven by community leaders who want to increase their impact through collective power and shared storytelling. Renton Regional Community Foundation supported these leaders in creating a series of conversations showcasing the region’s beauty, challenges, and collaboration.
