King County Council

The Metropolitan King County Council, the legislative body of King County, Washington, consists of nine members elected by district. The council adopts laws, sets policy, and holds final approval over the budget. Its current name and structure is the result of a merger of King County and the Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle, better known as Metro, which was a federated county-city structure responsible for water quality and public transportation.
