Hi Everyone
This is a CRITICAL NOTICE THAT NEEDS YOUR HELP & ACTION TODAY
Harbor Island Studios is on the chopping block for the 2026 budget. King County Council is voting on it tomorrow at 11:00am.
WE NEED EVERYONE TO SHOW THEIR SUPPORT + WRITE A COMMENT + AND PLEASE COME IN PERSON IF THEY CAN TOMORROW!
Here are the details:
Harbor Island Studios is scheduled to be cut from the King County budget, and the vote happens tomorrow at 11 AM. This is the only county-owned soundstage asset we have. Losing it dismantles workforce development, production capacity, and creative infrastructure that directly affects your teams, your work, and the future of filmmaking in this region.
We have less than 24 hours to make our voices heard.
