The Municipal League of King County's 2000 CIVIC AWARDS

A League tradition since 1960, Civic Awards are a way to call attention to the often overlooked and under-appreciated community efforts of private citizens, public officials, and organizations.

The Municipal League of King County celebrated civic excellence on Friday, June 2, 2000, from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center.

Attorney General Christine Gregoire was on-hand to deliver a riveting keynote address.
