Federal Way Citizens Initiative 24-003

Summary, Title and Districting Commission

Summary:  Federal Way Citizens Initiative #24-003, if receiving enough signatures and getting on the ballot and passing, would implement 6 ward or district seats and 1 at-large seat for the Federal Way City Council after a district map is drawn by a Districting Commission and the 2027 elections ensue.  The ward system would have one City Councilmember for each of 6 wards, thereby ensuring close proximity of at least one councilmember to any particular City neighborhood and, as would follow, closer attention to all neighborhoods and areas, and more of a councilmember-to-constituent connection. There would still be an at-large councilmember elected in alternate election cycles, along with the mayor, except for the first 2027 election when all the Council seats would be elected together.


Title:  "Shall the City of Federal Way change the city council composition from seven "at-large" city council positions drawn from anywhere in the city limits to six positions from specifically defined geographical districts or wards (positions 1-6) with four-year terms and one "at-large" position (position 7) elected in 2027 to an initial two-year term from 2028-2029 and four-year terms thereafter, establish a five-member districting commission to define the districts, and codify eligibility and transition provisions?"


Districting Commission:  A commission would set the lines for the wards & draw the map for 2027.  See the Initiative Text page to see the districting commission section and the entire text of the initiative.  We're going to need many signers, would-be signers and other volunteers to help by getting at least 20 signatures apiece from their social circle (about 2 hrs. of work in all).  The PDF Viewer of the petition is further below on this page.
