City of Federal Way
- Federal Way Public Schools Board Meeting: Tuesdays, 6pm – 8pm (see their schedule for which Tuesdays), FWPS Educational Service Center, 33330 8th Avenue S., Federal Way, WA 98003. You don’t need to be a parent to care about students and their civil rights. Support them at school board meetings whenever you can!
- City Council Meetings are usually held on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays, 6:30pm at City Hall (2nd floor) (but not on August 18th, next is September 1st). You can also watch and comment by Zoom. However, August’s first council meeting is moved to the the 2nd Tuesday of the month due to August 4th being National Night Out, and the other meeting is cancelled.
