King County Executive Girmay Zahilay has released the report of Transition Committee Recommendations developed by the 100 community members who participated in his Transition Committee in December 2025.

“King County residents have delivered a Transition Committee report with policy recommendations for short and long-term actions that our new administration can take,” Executive Zahilay said. “Over the coming months you will see us advancing many of these actions, which primarily focus on the 4Bs: (1) “Breaking the Cycle” of homelessness, addiction, trauma, and incarceration, (2) “Building for Affordability” the housing, childcare, and transit that our growing region needs, (3) putting “Boots on the Ground” for more customer and community service, and (4) advancing “Better Government” services through fiscal responsibility, transparency, accountability, and equity.”

The Committee was asked to use the framework of the Executive’s “4Bs for a Brighter Future” in developing the report, with members organized into subcommittees aligned with the 4Bs. You can read the full report here.
