Covington Councilmember Marla Mhoon has been elected to chair the Public Issues Committee (PIC) for the Sound City Association (SCA) and will serve on the SCA Board of Directors. SCA represents 36 cities in King County, and provides a regional voice for nearly one million people.

“The PIC is SCA’s vehicle for bringing policies to member cities, and for member cities to bring policies to SCA,” said Deanna Dawson, SCA Executive Director. “The PIC reviews and evaluates policy positions and recommends to the Board what, if any, action should be taken on such policy positions.”

Councilmember Mhoon was appointed to Council in 2005 and elected in 2006. Before serving on the City Council, Councilmember Mhoon  served on the Covington Planning Commission.  In addition to her service on SCA Board, she serves as Co-Chair Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA 9) Green Duwamish Ecosystem Forum and on the King County Flood Control District Advisory Committee.

SCA provides a voice for King County cities through leadership in areas such as economic and community development, transportation, land use, health, government operations, the environment, education, public safety, social welfare and other public policy issues.

SCA, which was formerly known as the Suburban Cities Association, was established more than 40 years ago to help King County cities act locally and partner regionally to create vital and thriving communities through advocacy, education, leadership, mutual support and networking.
