</div><div>First, I’d suggest that you are prepared to articulate the need that you are hoping restoring route 99 serves. If you have data to support that, even better!<br>
</div><div><br>
</div><div>It looks like this is a King County Metro issue; I would suggest meeting with the staff there and asking to learn more about their decision-making process, future realignment plans, etc., see if your need is met in some other way already or if they can offer alternative ideas.<br>
</div><div><br>
</div></div><div>You can also reach out to organizations that do similar advocacy. The Late 8 campaign is a good example.<br>
</div><div><br>
</div><div><div>Finally, you can reach out to your County Councilmember if you aren’t getting very far. They are in charge of KCM and would be able to get questions answered by staff.<br>
