King County Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer will receive the Public Official of the Year Award at the 56th Annual Civic Awards Event hosted by the Municipal League in Seattle on Thursday, April 2nd at the Renaissance Hotel.

"The Public Official Award is an honor that is enhanced by the respect I have for two previous recipients: Dr. Bill Gerberding and Norm Maleng," said von Reichbauer. "I am particularly honored to receive this award because two previous recipients were personal friends and professional heroes of mine.
