Last night, the City Council chambers rose to their feet to honor outgoing Council Member Wade King with a standing ovation — a moment that perfectly reflected the gratitude, admiration, and respect this community has for him.

For more than a decade, Wade has served the City of Dripping Springs with unwavering dedication, thoughtful leadership, and a genuine love for this community. Through growth, change, challenges, and celebrations, he has consistently shown up with integrity, humility, and a servant’s heart.

His impact can be seen not only in the decisions he helped shape, but in the relationships he built and the countless lives he touched along the way. Dripping Springs is stronger because of his leadership, and his legacy will continue to be felt for years to come.

Thank you, Wade, for 14 years of faithful service, steady guidance, and commitment to making Dripping Springs the very best it can be. Your community is grateful beyond words.
