The North Highline Unincorporated Area Council is seeking applicants for an open at-large council position.
The seat became open when King County Sheriff's Deputy Steve Cox, who also was president of the council, was killed in the line of duty in White Center on Dec. 2.
March 8 is the filing deadline. The new member will be appointed by the council at its regular meeting on March 15.
