As western Washington prepares to reach 80 degrees for the first time this year, King County officials are preparing to announce Friday its first-ever action plan to reduce the impact of future heat waves. The new "Extreme Heat Mitigation" plan is part of King County's Strategic Climate Action plan. County health officials said the plan's goal is to help people adapt to "inevitable heat events," give them better resources to mitigate the effects of heat and find community solutions to decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Last year's record-breaking heat wave saw the highest ever recorded temperatures in Seattle and multiple days in a row of triple-digit highs across the Puget Sound region. Temperatures reached as high as 118 degrees in Maple Valley and 116 degrees in Issaquah.
