Meet Marvin! For Parks employee Marvin Johnson, a day spent outside connecting with parks visitors is a good day. Quick with a smile and always happy to chat, he is one of the many people working hard to keep our county parks, trails and natural areas open and available to everyone.
Hear from Marvin, other employees, and partners about how the King County Parks Levy enhances our region’s quality of life in our new video.
The Parks levy is the engine that makes King County’s huge network of green space and recreation possible. It’s a voter approved property tax that funds almost everything at King County Parks, including maintenance, operations, expansion, and enhancements of regional parks and trails. The current King County Parks Levy runs from 2020-2025, and 85% of the total budget for King County Parks comes from the levy.
No matter where you are in King County, the Parks Levy goes to support your local parks and trails!
