The Republican National Convention wraps up Thursday night with Donald Trump expected to make his first public comments since being shot.The county said concern about higher summer temperatures and the potential for more "extreme heat events" in King County has grown as the impacts of climate change become more evident. They said the concern is also underscored by the June 2021 Pacific Northwest heat wave that led to 34 heat-related deaths in King County .
The King County Extreme Heat Mitigation Strategy was co-developed with state and local governments, service providers, community-based organizations, frontline communities, and other partners to provide "strategic direction" for local and countywide work on heat mitigation.
The strategy mentioned above emphasizes the importance of "prioritizing action implementation" in identified heat islands, low-income neighborhoods, communities of color, and other communities disproportionately affected by extreme heat, according to King County.
