We’re launching a new Permitting Advisory Panel to speed up permitting and build homes and open businesses more quickly.
King County has already brought down wait times by 25% and dramatically increased customer service. Now it’s time to do more.

Yesterday I joined leaders from the four county region to launch the Partnership for a Competitive Puget Sound, bringing King, Pierce, Snohomish, and Kitsap counties together to help businesses thrive, create good jobs, and make sure workers share in our region’s prosperity.
Started this Saturday morning in one of the northeasternmost parts of King County, Baring, Washington, where our King County teams stepped up for a community that lost a critical lifeline when the historic Baring Bridge was badly damaged during the December floods.
A huge thank you to our Department of Local Services and Road Services teams, our engineers, archaeologists, Finance and Business Operations staff, Johansen Construction Company, and all of the project crews and community partners who made this response possible.
After months of a difficult strike, I congratulate UNITE HERE Local 8 members and Embassy Suites on reaching an agreement and ratifying a new union contract that serves the interests of both workers and business.
Today, we remember and honor the lives lost to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and recognize the courage and sacrifice of the first responders, service members, and everyday Americans who came together in the days that followed.
Today I’m announcing $100 million in conservation investments to protect 1,500 acres of open space throughout King County, delivering on our commitment to the voters who have consistently and overwhelmingly approved the revenue sources that make these investments possible!
I want to thank the King County teams that do the hard work of turning these investments into reality — especially DNRP, including our Parks and Rec Division and the Water and Land Resources Division.

Thank you to all of our Metro teams: kingcountymetro.blog/2026/08…
Got some stuff you need to get rid of? We’ve got a new place for it.
We just opened the new South County Recycling and Transfer Station in Algona, bringing more recycling and disposal options to South King County.
Please join me in congratulating Metro’s Transit Operator of the Year, Tamieko Cook!
Our bus operators are the face of King County; dedicated public servants who show up every day to connect hundreds of thousands of people to jobs, school, health care, family, and more.
For 30 years, Tamieko has embodied that spirit of service. Inspired by her mother, Velda, who was also a transit operator, Tamieko joined Metro in 1996 and has since served our region not only behind the wheel, but as a leader in ATU Local 587 and on King County’s Equity Cabinet.
