Legislation Title:

A RESOLUTION stating the intent of the City of Seattle to make a decision by February 2012 whether to call for the annexation, by election, of contiguous unincorporated territory to the City of Seattle, referenced as the North Highline Annexation Area, and stating the City’s intent to withdraw its designation of this area as a Potential Annexation Area in the City’s Comprehensive Plan if a decision is made not to hold an annexation election in 2012.

Summary of the Legislation:

This resolution would delay a decision on whether to hold an annexation election in North Highline until February 2012.  

Background: Seattle designated North Highline a potential annexation area in 2006, along with the City of Burien. Burien annexed the southern portion of North Highline in 2010 but agreed to allow Seattle to pursue annexation of the northern portion, without interference from Burien, through the end of 2011. The City of Seattle, by approving this resolution, will be delaying its decision until February 2012.
