King County weighs tobacco ban in parks
King County would join a growing list of local parks, hospitals and schools with policies for tobacco-free areas under a proposed ordinance, prohibiting tobacco use in the busiest areas of the county’s expansive parks system, being considered by the county council.

“It was finished last year, in time for Fall City Days, but we never really celebrated it,” explained Angela Donaldson, former president of the Fall City Community Association and organizer of the day’s events.
