2013 Operating Procedures for the Highline Forum

The 2013 Operating Procedures for the Highline Forum outline how this informal coalition of Southwest King County cities, schools, and the Port of Seattle collaborates on shared regional issues. The Forum meets four times a year, operates by consensus rather than formal votes, and is co-chaired by a Port of Seattle elected representative and a community elected representative. While not a formal decision-making body, it provides a structured venue for member jurisdictions to share information, coordinate on local initiatives, and engage with outside speakers.
