Suspension of many King County in-person services to continue through at least April 30
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, King County will extend the suspension of many in-person and walk-in services through at least April 30. This move is being made in accordance with Governor Jay Inslee's "Stay Home, Stay Healthy" order issued on March 23.
King County employees continue to deliver essential services to the extent possible during this public health emergency, and customer service may be available by phone, email, and/or regular mail depending on the agency.
