Remembering Councilmember Earnest Thompson

I regret to inform you that Councilmember Earnest Thompson passed away on Monday, August 1, 2022. He was a passionate supporter and strong advocate of Normandy Park. Before being elected to the City Council, he served on the Parks Commission, Planning Commission, Seatac Airport Round Table (StART) committee, and more. He deeply believed in protecting the environment, promoting government transparency, and protecting the values that make Normandy Park special. He will be missed.

Proposition #1: New Civic Center Bond

On August 2nd, Normandy Park registered voters had the opportunity to vote on a ballot measure that would have authorized the issuance of a bond to construct a new Civic Center. I wanted to let you know that the ballot measure was not approved.

A question that the city was asked many times before the actual vote was, “what happens if the ballot measure fails?” If you want to know that answer, I invite you to join the City Council meeting on Tuesday, August 9th. At this meeting, the City Council will have a brief discussion about Proposition #1, and staff is asking for a special meeting so we can discuss the next steps in more detail. Please join us.

2020 Census

In celebration of the upcoming National Senior Citizen Day on August 21st, we want to share some data on how the nation is aging. Click here to learn about median age trends and how Normandy Park’s median age compares to the country’s and King County’s. Let us know what you see in the data!
