This Saturday, April 5th, White Center Park will be re-dedicated as Steve Cox Memorial Park, in memory of the late Deputy Steve Cox, a true community leader who inspired many with his dedication and hard work in the community.

Naming this park in his honor is a fitting tribute for the officer who was shot and killed while investigating an assault outside a White Center home back in December 2006.

His murder stunned the community, who revered Cox as a Superman, a larger-than-life prosecutor-turned deputy.
