DATE: May 21, 2002
TO: City Council
VIA: David Mose
FROM: Donna Hanso4
SUBJECT: Branding Tagline and Logo
Background: City Council adopted the following positioning statement in April:
The City of Federal Way will become known as the perfect location. We will promote our
unique and advantageous location between Seattle and Tacoma and right off I -5, with
Puget Sound to the west, the Cascades to the east, and SeaTac airport to the north.
Secondarily, we will promote our beautiful natural amenities of parks, lakes, green spaces,
and water and mountain views.
This statement was adopted based on input provided in interviews and focus groups with City
Council, employees, residents, businesses, and community leaders during a three month long
public process. An online survey showed this position to be appealing to 64% of those
responding to the survey. Results of a telephone survey showed this position to be appealing to
78% of those surveyed.
Tagline and Logo options were presented to Council on May 7". An online survey with 430
responses shows 51 % voting for the tagline, "It's all within reach" and 60% voting for the
mountain/water logo. Specific results are attached. Messages and submittals from fifteen
individuals providing their input and suggested taglines are also attached.
Options: Council has the option of making a selection or narrowing the taglines and logos under
consideration from all the submittals, based on the research obtained in the public process and
the adopted positioning statement.

Hi Jeanne,
I had thought I would have a chance to talk to you Friday, but this is
probably a good alternative. As many who are responding on the Branding
results, I am not excited about any of the offerings. They lack pzazz,
and in some instances are negative, sending people elsewhere - . I hope
we are not committed to accepting any of them. The city next door sounds
very small town to me, when we're trying to impress that we are indeed a
city. I don't know what the alternative is, but perhaps there could even
be a contest among the Federal Wayites to come up with something better,
1 already have one to offer:
Federal Way - in the middle of it all
That addresses location and also suggests engagement in all things
happening (in the thick of it). I would further suggest the diamond
shaped logo which appears as FW if you tilt your head, could be somewhat
altered to have a dot in the center (in the middle of it all). The other
logos remind me of other logos I've seen. I admit I probably pay more
attention to such things than most, but that was the one that struck me
as having possibilities. I like the "hidden" FW aspect.
Anyway, I am totally underwhelmed and disappointed with their efforts to
capture what we are here.
For whatever it's worth ... I won't charge anything for this, either.
See you soon.

Subject: Tag line suggestion
Mayor and City Council Members,
Pm a concerned resident who, like you, desires an improvement in the way
our city is viewed by its neighbors. The face lift that has occurred on
Pacific Highway and on 320th has been a wonderful image -lifter for our
town. Now I see you're taking the next step in giving Federal Way a complete
identity, and that's by creating a logo and tag line for which our city can
be known.
Several of my friends and I were looking on the city's web site at the tag
lines and logos that are being suggested. We agreed that they do not portray
our city in a positive manner. Comments included "they look like bank and
Amtrak logos," and "they look like transit logos, not a city," and "we paid
$90,000 for THAT ? ?" The logo definitely does not indicate that it represents
a CITY (please say "City of Federal Way" in the logo) or that its located
in the state of Washington. Take a look at Redmond and Bellevue's logos.
They're much more descriptive.
My first impression of the tag Iines was that we in Federal Way are reaching
for someplace else ( "It's all within reach." -- but not here), we're a
minor, insignificant city ( "The city next door. "), we want to be somewhere
other than here ( "Start here. Go anywhere." and "Get there from here."
Anywhere is better than here), or that we're advertising for a housing
development (location, location, "Location perfected. "). They give the
impression that we Iive here only because from here it's easy to get where
we REALLY want to be. Because no one really wants to stay here.
As one who lives, plays, dines, shops and works in Federal Way, I'd be
embarrassed if we adopted any of these. No tag line at all is better than
these. These tag lines make us appear so desperate for identity that we'll
adopt anything, depending on surrounding areas for our significance.
How about something that actually promotes our city. Something like: "Live.
Work. Play. All in Federal Way." (Because we do have it all here).
Oh, l do like the three -tone blue "water" logo. Since it looks like water,
it indicates identity and substance, rather than just a meaningless symbol.
Thanks for taking time to read my concerns,
Pam Glaser

I looked at the survey regarding logo and tag lines. You need another
category. Do Not like any of the above. I really think this group did
not do a good job on either the logo or tag lines and, for the money being
paid, should go back to the drawing board. Most of the logos looked like
they came from a book of logos and the tag lines just do not sell the
city.
I urge you to get other ideas before choosing a new logo and tag. Perhaps
the current logo could be updated so it Iooks contemporary but is still
recognized.

Hi, Delores,
Thanks for taking the time to write out your thoughts on the taglines and logos. The Chamber's thoughts are very
important since whatever brand the Council selects will be used for economic development and tourism promotion. We
will be sure to include them with the other comments we have received. The Council will be taking up this issue at their
May 21 meeting during a 5:30 p.m. study session.
Derek
>>> "Delores Shull" < deloress @federalwaychamber.com> 05/14 1:01 PM >>>
Hi Derek:
I just took the survey on the proposed taglines and logos on the website, I
didnt see any opportunity to give additional comments, so here you go:
1. Im disappointed with all the tag lines. I think they are weak at best.
The further along in the process that we have gotten, the more underwhelmed
I am.
IE: "Get there from here" and "Start here, go anywhere" : Both of these
imply that people will LEAVE here to go somewhere else. in my mind our goal
is to get people/businesses /visitors to come HERE, not vice versa.
"Location perfected" says nothing to me. Location is not something that we
perfected, it just happens to be we are ideally located. Again, weak, in
my mind.
"The city next door ". Again, implies that we are "next" to something,
rather than pointing out what makes us unique, attractive, and interesting.
This one is slightly better, but only slightly.
"It's all within reach" is probablly ok, but again lacks anything that makes
me go "Wow."
2. Same thing with the logos. One reminds me of Lotto, and one reminds me
of BC Rail or Amtrack. One reminds me of the Weyco roundabout, and the
triangle shaped one is the best, but looks a lot like Northshore Golf. Just
comments again. I would recommend that we stay consistent with the
blue /green currently used by City/Chamber for consistency.
So perhaps we need to go back to what we are trying to accomplish with
branding. My thoughts were that we would identify those things that make
our city special, and build a plan to promote those to the region; the
nation, the world. A plan and designs that could be used to market to
tourists, visitors, residents, and business. If thats way off track, i
missed something somewhere.
So my suggestion would be'TW: The World starts here". It could be used
for our location and proximity to ports, freeways, and airports. It also
could tag our diversity as a population, and ties to international trade and
relations. Also, our national and world sporting events. Just a thought,
but perhaps more applicable to what we really are , and emphasizing that the
beginning is HERE, not there.
Sorry for the stream of consciousness rambling rant here, but I wanted to
share my thoughts about this. I do not think we have gotten our money's
worth from this process yet, and am ever hopeful that we still will get
results that are useful.

Hi, Julie,
Thanks for passing along your comments - - we will make sure they are included. We are going through the branding
process to create a consistent message for promoting Federal Way as a location for businesses and tourism as well as
promoting city services to existing residents. The City Council will take up the issue next Tuesday at 5:30 p.m.

Dear Mr.. Matheson,
The existing Federal Way logo is distinctive, different and dandy. It's also incredibly
artistic and does not remind me of an airline logo.
The tag line is also in need of a longer look. Better to have no tag line that those offered
thus far.
Is this process aversion therapy? Are we doing this exercise to take the focus away from
the many more important issues to which the community's attention should be riveted?
Thank you for hearing my voice.
Sincerely,

I am trying to respond to the survey about the tag lines. The survey is
not properly structured.s as it does not give an opportunity to state that
none of the suggested tag lines is adequate. One can only vote FOR one,
or say one doesn't know. Neigher is the case. In my opinion the tag lines
are very much a disappointment. They are not of the quality that I would
expect from a professional company. In my opinion they make people think
about going OUT of the city as opposed to coming into the city. They are
not "catchy" in the least and are mediocre at best.
I think we could capitalize on the things one can DO in the city. "A Place
to Play" would allow us to highlight the Aquatic Center, the Knutzen
Theater, the Soccer fields, the Skating Rink, Celebration Park, the Bonzai
gardens, the waterfront, the State Park.
I urge the City NOT to go with ANY of the suggestions put forth by the
hired company. Start over. Convene a group of citizens, ask again for
citizen input. Put out the word that the City is not satisfied with the
options so far and ask for those who want to help to come to a meeting and
brainstorm. Have several brainstorming meetings.
As for the logos, they clearly look like they come out of a "logo book."
The very day the logos were shown in the Mirror there was an ad by an
agency or company just below the Logo article and the logo looked very
much like one of the logos.
I would suggest doing a contemporary version of the logo we currently
have... at least it won't look like it came out of a book.
Thank you for your time.

Mayor Jeanne Burbidge
Federal Way City Council
Federal Way City Hall
Federal Way WA. 98023
Dear Councilmember Burbidge,
cry Clerks Office
City of Federal way
I appreciate the opportunity to express my views relative to the Leonhardt Fitch presentation.
When I came here in 1983 I was particularly impressed with how dynamic and organized this
community was and how so many people were excited about where they lived, in spite of the
fact that this was an unincorporated community. Our tag line then could have easily been,
"Federal Way, a Great Place to Live "; and I am confident that the majority of people would
have accepted it with enthusiasm When we did incorporate, we could have said "Federal Way
the Best New City in The Northwest" and, I know people would have given with a lot of pride
their support to this tag be as well.
What these tag lines would have done and the Leonard Fitch design group designs do not do
now is to reflect the spirit an attitude of the people of our community. To me rekindling that
kind of community mentality is far more important to our future than what others may think of
us from the outside. The question I ask you is this, if even only one or two percent of the
people who presently live in Federal Way cared as enthusiastically and as passionately as we
once did, just how much need would we have for a tag line to attract people's attention to our
city or even sell business on the idea that this is a great place to locate.
Tag lines need to be bold to make a difference, and need to create a meaningU challenge to
gain commitment. Therefore, I would not choose by preference any of the design group's tag
lines. However, if we do not have any alternatives, I would choose to amend one of them
Instead of saying Federal Way location perfected, I would use Federal Way, "Location
Perfect." The later would encompass all other tag lines that have so far been given us and
allow us to add our own, For example, we could say, "location" perfect for raising a family,
perfect with its wetland habitat for returning sahnon, perfect for its beautiful views of mountain
sunrises and sunsets, perfect for amateur sports and perfect to become involved with
community arts, a location perfect for anything else we hold dear or are particularly proud of
As far as the logo goes, I would hope you leave our present one alone. I find it unique and
different, which is the very essence of what Federal Way means to me. The design group's
offerings are far too similar to existing ones used by railroads or by energy related companies
and I personally find them to be boring knock offs of most every corporate logo I have seen.
To change ours for something mediocre would be wrong.
Thank you for considering my opinions.
Sincerely. c `7

After reading the Logo survey, I realized that a most important choice was omitted - the current Federal Way Logo. The
current logo is my favorite because it depicts the beauty and location of our city with trees by the water. None of the
choices on the survey, in my opinion, are anywhere close to the present logo. Certainly add it to the options, otherwise
the voting will be inaccurate. There is no option to retain the current logo and I am sure I am not the only one who thinks
we should.
An email response has been requested.

Good morning - I will be sure City , Council members get a copy of your comments. They will take up the issue tomorrow

Derek,
Too bad that our survey choices didn't include "They are all
lousy ". That would have been our choice. The City has a wonderful logo, it
doesn't require another to promote economic development, especially a bad
one. The City has a slogan, "A City for all of us ". Both the current City
logo and the slogan were citizen ideas. In the case of the slogan, over 400
people submitted entries. (we don't know how many people entered the logo
contest.) That is real citizen input.
So, use the City Logo and finally add "A City for all of us ". Think
about it it makes sense.
Please forward this to all members of the City Council.
Thanks,
Peg & Jay Altman

Mayor Burbidge then called upon the citizens who had signed up to speak during the
comment portion ofthe public hearing, reminding them to limit their remarks to three
minutes.
L. James Mangio - spoke in opposition to Site Specific Request #2-his concern relates to
the wetland inyolvement of the property; he would like to see the city purchase the property
for future park development.
Linda Writer - also spoke in opposition to Site Specific Request #2-she wants the
property to remain single-family zoning because of added traffic congestion if changed to

Alex Klouzal- applicant of Site Specific Request #2-discussed usage of the property in
its earlier days, adding he once offered the property to King County (prior to the city's
incorporation) for the purchase price of $56,000, but the offer was rejected. He requested
further analysis by city staff.
Leonard Schaadt - representing the agent of Site Specific Request #5-explained the
requested change in zoning would allow for the best use of the property and spoke in
support of further analysis by the city.

to provide for a temporary connection until] 9th Ave SW and SW 3441h St are improyed

this discovery, staff from the City, Federal Way School District, and Lakehaven Utility District met on site to confinn the
correct identification of the water meters. All parties agreed that the meters were incorrectly identified. Staff from these
agencies conducted meetings to implement the changes necessary to correct the errors. This Amendment to the Interlocal
Agreement fonnalizes and documents these corrections. The Amendment was prepared by the City of Federal Way law
department.
This Amendment has been reviewed by Federal Way School District and has been signed by Superintendent Thomas

SUMMARY/BACKGROUND: Canadian Geese populate the beach at Steel Lake Park and in Celebration Park wetlands

Some of the most measurable impacts are the increased labor costs to keep the beaches and picnic areas clean, risk to the
water quality of Steel Lake for swimming and pose a threat to the success of the wetland plantings.

first year to participate in this program.

U.S. Department of Agriculture (WS) to manage the Canada Geese population within King County. The plan will include
an egg addling program, lethal control, population monitoring and census: mainly of Canada Geese, within King County.
Each party, represented on the Waterfowl Management Committee will share in the ongoing reyiew of the programs
carried out by WS. The City's contribution wi]] be limited to $3,400. The tenn of this Agreement is from January 1,2002
to December 31, 2002.
WS wi]] make every effort to conduct a 2,000 - 2,500 egg-addling program. Lethal control wi]] be implemented as
necessary and total numbers will be established by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Pennit. Participants will receive a
report on the number of eggs addled and geese euthanized in 2002.

2002 Interloca greem nt for Waterfowl Management Program
Back~round
Canadian Geese populate the beach at Steel Lake Park and in Celebration Park wetlands and sports fields.
The geese increase our cost to manage the parks and pose a health and safety risk to the park user. Some
of the most measurab]e impacts are the increased labor costs to keep the beaches and picnic areasclean,
risk to the water quality of Steel Lake for swimming and pose a threat to the success of the wetland
plantings are a few examples.
The most significant tool to manage the Canadian Geese population is the Interlocal Agreement for
Waterfowl (Canada Goose) Management Program. Currently II cities, including Seattle and Federal Way,
Boeing, Seattle Public utilities and the University of Washington make up the Oversight Committee to
monitor this program. Last year was the City's first year to participate in this program.
Purpose
The purpose of this agreement is to provide the joint funding to contract with the Wildlife Services (WS)
Program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (WS) to manage the Canada Geese population within King
County. The plan will include an egg add]ing program, lethal control, population monitoring and census:
mainly of Canada Geese, within King County.
Scope of pro~ram
2002 will be the tenth year of an egg addling program and the third year utilizing "lethal control". In
addition, educational programs will be initiated to inform the public about urban Canada Geese and the
associated health and safety problems.
Responsibilities
Each party, represented on the Waterfowl Management Committee will share in the ongoing review of the
programs carried out by WS.
Compensation
The City's contribution will be limited to $3,400.
Term
The term Oflhis Agreement is from January 1,2002 to December 3],2002.
Deliverables
WS will make every effort to conduct a 2,000 - 2,500 egg-addling program. Lethal control will be
implemented as necessary and total numbers will be established by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Permit. Participants will receive a report on the number of eggs addled and geese euthanized in 2002.
Committée Recommendation:
Approve the 20021nterlocal Agreement for Waterfowl (Canada Goose) Management Program and forward
to full Council at the May 21 meeting for consideration to authorize the City Manager to execute the
Interlocal Agreement.

Washington Campaign to Promote Racial Justice
Background
In February, Association of Washington Cities (AWe) President Chuck Johnson and Executive
Director Stan Finkelstein sent a letter to cities across the state announcing a new A WC program
called the "Washington Campaign to Promote Racial Justice". The campaign was created in
response to changing demographics in Washington cities. It is part of the National League of
Cities' (NLC) nationwide diversity program.
The campaign's mission is to "build a broad base of understanding and support from which cities
and citizens can work together for stronger communities". Its goa1s are to adyance racial justice
in cities, create greater understanding of racism, and remove barriers that prevent minorities from
having an equa1 voice in their communities.
Since many Washington cities are not well-equipped to work on diyersity issues, the campaign
will provide a number of resources to cities. It is primarily a networking system. It will proyide
guidelines for getting started with racial justice issues, a networking website, training workshops,
and help with forming "Racial Justice Leadership Networks" (similar to Federal Way's Diversity
Commission). It will also manage two pilot projects that will help two cities get started with
diversity issues.
The Diversity Commission reviewed the program at its March and April meetings. Some
commissioners had questions about A WC's definition of "race" and "racial justice" and how
those definitions would impact the program. However, A we stresses that the campaign is
simply a network and guide rather than a mandate. A WC has also not deyeloped a statewide
definition of "race" or "racial justice" as that is appropriately the resp<,msibility of each
participating city.
Summary
The Washington Campaign to Promote Racial Justice is essentially a networking opportunity for
Washington cities to work on diversity issues. It calls on cities to start racial justice and diversity
efforts very similar to Federal Way's Diversity Commission. The campaign's mission statement
is quite similar to the Diversity Commission's purpose and mission statements, and its work
1\-\
Memorandum to PRHSPS
A WC Campaign for Racial Justice
May 13, 2002
Page 2
projects are quite consistent with the Commission's existing business plan.
In short, the program allows Federal Way to take adyantage of other cities' knowledge as well as
share our experiences as one of few cities with a diyersity commission that has been addressing
diyersity issues for over ten years.
Diversity Commission Recommendation
The Diversity Commission recommends that the City Council authorize the city to join the A WC
Campaign for Racial Justice using the Diversity Commission mission statement as the city's
pledge statement: "It is our aim to help Federal Way in becoming a communily which is united
amidst diversily, where each individual is respected, equally valued, equally needed and equally
cherished. Equalily is not sameness, it is equivalent value. "
Possible Motion
r'Þï Z
"I move to place this item on the J~ City Council agenda with a recommendation that the full
City Council authorize Federal Way to join the A WC Campaign for Racial Justice using the
Diyersity Commission mission statement as the city's pledge statement."
(\-2.
The Washington Campaign to Promote Racial Justice grew out of the National league of
Cities 1999 initiative to draw municipal officials into the effort to honor diversity and undo
racism. It is launched today through a partnership between the Association of Washington
Cities, the National Conference for Community and Justice and the Anti-Defamation
league. These partners will maintain a commitment to on-going learning throughout the
campaign, inyiting citizens and cities to join in this commitment.
MISSION Br. GOALS
Our mission is to build a broad base of understanding and support from which cities and
citizens can work together for stronger communities. Our primary goals are to:
1. Increase support for cities and citizens working to advance racial justice.
2. Build understanding of racism in Washington State as it exists today.
3. Remove barriers that prevent racial and ethnic minorities from having an equal voice in
their communities.
STRATEGY #1: Offer Training Br. Resources
<. Racial justice workshops will be offered for AWC staff and city officials. These
workshops will be designed to increase understanding of racism and how to create
racial justice in Washington State today.
+ The racial justice web page, available soon on the AWC website, will contain up-to-
date resources, information and support for Washington cities.
STRATEGY #2: Build Support
+ A Racial Justice leadership Network will be built within and across communities, so city
and community leaders can further increase their understanding of racial justice issues
and strategize together to solve common problems.
STRATEGY #3: Conduct Pilot Project
Two citiesltowns will be selected to participate in the pilot project. The following
framework will be adjusted to fit the unique needs and resources of each community.
+ Phase 1: Assess Needs & Resources.
leaders will participate in indiyidual assessments to set the stage for the project. These
leaders will identify and agree to goals. One of several potential models will be used
to identify local strengths and needs for change.
+ Phase 2: DeveloD Action Plan.
Short and long-term change strategies will be identified, implemented and supported
by a local racial justice leadership network.
<. Phase 3: ReDort lessons Learned.
We will analyze and evaluate the process and progress in each pilot community. A
report of key findings and lessons learned will be distributed to all cities.
A-3
Many people have worked for many years to eradicate racism from our communities. With
all of this work already under way, it seems that there should be some clear formula for
addressing the problem, some formula that simply needs implementation. Unfortunately,
this is not the case. There are many different ideas about the best way to undo racism and
advance racial justice. There are at least as many different ways of understanding racism.
Thus, while we are moved to act, we must first build a common understanding within each
community. This undoubtedly seems an overwhelming task, but it is one that will only be
accomplished when we make a commitment to begin.
First Steps
,
,
,
,
leaders
If your city is going to participate in this campaign, the city leadership must be
involved. Put the campaign on the city council agenda. Invite the mayor, city
manager, department heads and other community leaders to determine if there is
sufficient leadership support for joining the campaign.
Be Clear
Be clear about why you are joining the campaign. You do not haye to know all
there is to know about racism in your community in order to begin. At first, it may
be enough to recognize a need to better understand how you can meet community
needs across cultures, so you can effectively promote racial justice initiatives.
Commit
leaders must also be clear about their commitment. This commitment will not be
the same from one city to the next. To what are you willing to commit? Keep it
simple at first, and be sure that it is a commitment you can honor. For example,
you can commit to learning or to honoring diversity in city operations. Whatever is
decided, sum it up in a simple pledge statement that can be used when you join the
campaign (see "Join the Campaign").
Point of Contact
Finally, designate a point of contact for your city. This person may be an elected
official or a city staff person. Most importantly, this person should recognize the
value of cities promoting racial justice. Meagan Eliot, AWC Special Projects
Coordinator, will be available to answer questions at (360) 753-4137.
A-Y
Joining the Washington Campaign to Promote Racial Justice means that you will work to
promote racial justice in your community. Beyond that general idea, the actual work may
be different in each city. Below are answers to some questions you may have.
Is there a specific program that we are supposed to follow?
Absolutely not. Joining the campaign is first and foremost about expressing your city's
commitment to racial justice, as stated above. Whatever program you choose to
implement should be designed to fit your community's needs and resources.
Our city already has several diversity/racial justice Initiatives
underway. Do we have to do something new or different?
Again, no. However, it may be good to get some community feedback on your efforts
thus far. In general, keep up what you're doing, and let us know how we can help.
What do we do once we join the campaign?
.. .... Designate city and community leaders to join the Racial Justice Leadership Network
y~ (see "Coming Soon" flyer for more information).
,
......
If you have not done so already, get to know the issues and resources in your
community. You can start this process by surveying your staff and citizens or by
talking with knowledgeable community leaders. If you need help, call Meagan
Eliot at AWC (360-753-4137).
-...... Consider applying to be a pilot site. The questionnaire/application will be arriving
.::::> in your mail soon.
...... Let us know what you are doing or planning to do and what resources you need.
~ We would like to highlight what you're doing, assist you in increasing your
network, and share your best practices, allowing others to learn from you. Contact
Meagan Eliot at AWe.
How do we join the campaign?
Use the enclosed form to write your city's statement of commitment to honoring diversity
and promoting racial justice. We will create a certificate of your pledge and highlight it at
upcoming events to honor you for taking this step.
A-S
AWC Racial Justice Web Page
The AWC racial justice web page will be up and running soon. It will be a resource
for city leadership as well as other community members who are interested in
racial justice issues. It is designed to:
. build awareness about incidents of racial and ethnic bias and discrimination,
. draw attention to the positive efforts of local leaders to promote racial
justice and respect for diversity,
. inspire interest among local leaders to start new efforts, and
. connect local leaders with resources that may strengthen local racial justice
and diversity initiatives.
City Questionnaire. AKA Pilot Project Application
Watch your mail-the Washington Cities and Cultural Diversity Questionnaire is
coming soon. We are using this questionnaire for two purposes:
1) to build our understanding of racial justice issues in Washington State and
2) to select a pilot site.
It is important that we hear from as many cities as possible. Please complete the
Questionnaire even if vou do not want your city to be a pilot site. If you do want
to be a pilot site, you will simply check the appropriate box on the questionnaire.
Racial Justice Leadership Network
A Racial Justice Leadership Network will be built within and across communities, so
city and community leaders can further increase their understanding of racial
justice issues and strategize together to solve common problems.
Interested network members may also join the Racial Justice Speaker's Bureau.
These leaders will be called upon to speak at workshops, public events and other
appropriate venues.
If you are interested in being a part of the Leadership Network and/or the
Speaker's Bureau, please call Meagan Eliot at AWC (360-753-4137).

Regional Transportation Bill Principles
Background
The State Legislature adopted, and the Governor has signed, Senate Bill 6140. This bill creates a
regional transportation district that is authorized to place a regional transportation package before voters.
This regional package supplements a state transportation package that was also adopted in March and
referred to yoters statewide in Noyember.
The new regional transportation district must consist of King County plus either or both Snohomish
County and Pierce County. The bill places county government in control of both project selection and
goyernance. The planning committee that develops the package is made up of all county counc; I
members and has a seven-member executiye board. The governing board that would manage the district
(if a package is approyed by yoters) would consist of all county council members.
Regional projects are defined as capital improvements to highways of statewide significance ("HSSs"-
in most cases interstate highways), associated multimodal projects on HSSs, some local arterials (if they
provide significant congestion relief), and high capacity transit improyements such as light rail and
express buses. Reyenues ayailable to the planning committee include a 0.5% sales tax, parking taxes, a
$100 yehicle license fee, tolls, unused county HOV taxes, and some unused Sound Transit taxes.
Both the state and regional transportation bills are summarized in the attached tables.
Federal Way's position
A city team made up of two City Council members who serve on regional transportation boards (Jeanne
Burbidge on the South County Area Transportation Board and Mary Gates on Sound Transit, Puget
Sound Regional Council, and Regional Transit Committee), City Manager's Office staff, Public Works
staff, and our contract lobbyist met last month to develop a city position on the regional package. The
team recommended the following principles to the LUTC:
1.
The Regional Transportation District's planning committee should not send a regional
transportation package to yoters before the Noyember vote on the statewide package for the
following reasons:
a.
The region will not know until after the statewide yote whether the state will able to
Memorandum to LUTC
Regional Transportation Bill Principles

2.
contribute a matching share to regional projects.
b.
In the absence of a state match, there may only be enough money to construct projects
outside of South King County, such as 1-405 and Alaskan Way Viaduct improvements
c.
A delayed yote giyes cities time to go back to the Legislature and amend the regional bill to
giye cities a greater role in planning and goyernance of the regional transportation district.
The City of Federal Way should proactively promote the following projects in or near the city:
a.
I-51 SR-181 SR-161 Triangle. This project would reconstruct the 1-5 I SR 18 interchange
to improye safety and capacity, as well as provide partial for full access between 1-5 and SR
161. The project may also proyide partial access to the City of Milton at S 375th Street.
The statewide transportation package would proyide $3 million towards preliminary
engineering and enyironmental analysis. The study now underway will identify a preferred
alternatiye and staging plan. Ultimate construction costs are roughly estimated at $80 - 110
million. This is the city's highest priority project.
b.
1-5 and S. 272nd St. This project would modify or reconstrucUhe 1-5 and S 272nd Street
interchange. The Cities of Federal Way and Kent have proposed a $12 million modification
and WSDOT has proposed a $25-30 million reconstruction, both of which are intended to
address safety and capacity issues that will be exacerbated by Sound Transit and Metro
improyements in the vicinity of the interchange.
c.
SR-99 Phases III and IV. Both phases of these projects would construct HOV lanes, raised
medians, sidewalks and streetlights, and underground utilities on this 1-5 overflow corridor.
Phase III is between the north City limits (S 284th Street) and SR 509 (S Dash Point Road)
and is estimated at $9.6 million. Phase IV is between SR 509 (S Dash Point Road) and S
3 12th Street and is estimated at $12.6 million. This is a city priority project.
d.
SR-167. There are a number of projects on SR 167 that would benefit the City by either
improying access to the City or diverting traffic from city streets. These include first stage
completion ofSR 167 between SR 509 at Port of Tacoma and SR 161 in Puyallup ($344
million in the statewide package, with an ultimate cost of over $900 million). A project that
is not on the list would proyide a northbound to westbound ramp and eastbound to
southbound ramp at the SR 181 SR 167 interchange in Auburn. Currently to make these
movements, drivers must use West Valley Highway and 15th Street SW. Estimated cost is
$57 million. Another project would extend the HOV lanes from 15th Street SW in Auburn
to SR 512 in Puyallup, and is shown on the Pierce County list of regionally-funded projects.
e.
SR-509. This project would extend the freeway that now ends at S I 88th Street west of
SeaTac Airport and extends it to 1-5 near S 21 oth Street. The Port of Seattle would also
construct a south access road from the airport to the new freeway. The project also includes
reconstruction of the I-51 SR 516 interchanges and adds auxiliary lanes on 1-5 as far south
as S 320th Street. The project is expected to cost $751 million, and the statewide package

would proyide $SOO million of this amount.
f.
I-S HOV Lanes. This project would extend the HOV lanes from S 320th Street to the Pierce
County Line. The Pierce County package further extends the HOY lanes from the county
line through Tacoma. The project is expected to cost $139 million, and the statewide
package would proyide $69 million ofthis amount. This is a city priority project.
g.
S. 312th St. Interchange, S. 320th St. Oyerpass, and Park & Ride Ramp to I-S. City staff
have proposed these projects as one large project that would provide a comprehensive
solution to the long-range capacity and safety issues surrounding the I-S I S 320th Street
interchange. Cost is roughly estimated at $40 million.
3.
The city should press the planning committee to inyolye actiyely cities in project and fund source
selection, and the city should work with other cities through forums like the Puget Sound Regional
Council, Suburban Cities Association, subregional transportation boards, etc., to promote city
involvement in the process.
LUTC Recommendation
LUTC recommended that the full City Council adopt the regional transportation bill principles outlined
aboye and direct staff to report back to LUTC this summer.
