Pahaliyah Brown has launched his campaign for King County Council District 7.
His campaign website states, “I come from a proud multicultural family. My father and brother served in the U.S. Air Force during wartime and retired with honor.
I’m the son of a Korean mother and proudly rooted in my Black American heritage. These identities have shaped my deep respect for diverse voices and the lived experiences that make District 7 special.”

District 7 includes parts of Federal Way, Kent, Auburn, Des Moines, SeaTac, Burien and unincorporated King County.
The race for District 7 also includes longtime incumbent Pete von Reichbauer and Indian Asian Maya Vengadasalam, a Kent School Board member. The top two vote-getters in the August 5 primary will advance to the general election in November.
Love this picture showing progress in action! Thank you candidate Brown for stepping up to help clean our streets! He was such a great help volunteering with Kiwanis to help support our Adopt a Street program!
