King County Council

King County Council Chair Claudia Balducci (Dist. 6) awarded Kirkland resident Kurt Triplett with the Martin Luther King Medal of Distinguished Service, an award that recognizes individuals whose work has answered the question asked by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. “What are you doing for others?” Triplett has dedicated his life to public service across King County. For the last 11 years, he has served as city manager for Kirkland where, in 2020, the community found itself in the national spotlight as the first epicenter of COVID-19 in the United States. Triplett previously worked for King County for 17 years, including serving as the interim county executive in 2009, chief of staff to Executive Ron Sims, deputy director of natural resources and parks, and deputy chief of staff for Executive Sims and former Executive Gary Locke. He currently serves on the board for A Regional Coalition for Housing. He is also chair of the Eastside Public Safety Communications Agency, as well as a joint board member for the Puget Sound Emergency Radio Network.
