Annual legislative forum

The King County Developmental Disabilities Annual Legislative Forum is an event to educate elected officials on issues that are important to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and delays and their families, friends, and supporters. We share King County's I/DD and delays legislative priorities, and our community members share their personal stories as they relate to the priorities.
