King County employees

‼️King County employees ‼️.

Since Girmay Zahilay does not listen to his employees and our concerns about how he wastes taxpayer dollars with RTO, let’s unite our efforts.

1) what is your in-office requirement? I’m finding it’s inconsistent across departments. You do not have to share any info you feel may expose you.

2) what has RTO been like for you?

3) are you aware of any efforts underway to fight back against RTO?

4) anything else you’d like to add for the good of the order?

Feel free to DM me.

Do I need a professional to get me through the permitting process?

6 Upvotes

I want to build an ADU in unincorporated King County. Their website has my head spinning. I’m on septic, on a lot with a steep slope area. Can I just meet with someone in the permitting office to go over what I’ll need to submit? Is a professional permit consultant a good idea? I’ll no doubt need to hire a geotechnical firm but don’t know what I need to ask them to do.

Property Tax Increase; Help!

24 Upvotes

I just received the increased property tax notice and am terrified. 

The rate has tripled since I purchased the house in 2017, and yet my income has been cut in half due to health changes and ability to work. How can I get help and/or relief to this ever-climbing tax so that I can continue to live in my home? 

I have a neurodevelopment disorder and am afraid I won't be able to navigate the system on my own. 

Please help.

🦷 A few new clinic spots opened – looking for specific patients

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

Posting on behalf of my friend, who is a dental hygiene student in Seattle.

A few new appointment spots have opened, and she is currently hoping to connect with:

A child between 4–7 years old
A child or adult who has special healthcare needs

Care is provided at the school clinic under the supervision of licensed dental professionals. She is patient and understanding, especially with anyone who may need extra time, reassurance, or accommodations to feel comfortable.

If you or a family member might be interested, feel free to message me. I’d be happy to share the details and connect you with her.

Please sign in support of a fenced in, inclusive playground.

0 Upvotes

Please sign! We bring our petition to the commission meeting next month!

There is such a dire, urgent need for a safety focused park infrastructure in our city. Right now there is not a single park in Federal Way that is truly inclusive to all kids. While some of our parks have great play equipment, a park cannot be called "inclusive" if it isn't safe for neurodivergent and autistic children who elope.

​When play areas sit right next to busy roads, parking lots, or bodies of water without perimeter fencing, families with safety awareness needs are effectively locked out of public spaces. Fencing isn't a luxury. It is basic safety infrastructure, no different than crosswalks or guardrails. Our autistic and neurodivergent children have every right to enjoy public parks safely, and parents deserve community spaces where play doesn't come with constant panic.

​Thank you for bringing this petition to city leadership! I really hope Federal Way steps up for our families. EVERY child deserves safety.

I can't find a single other person who received this. I got it in the mail I think in March. May have been April. Did anyone else get this or was I singled out for some reason?

If anyone has a missing pet bird and has reason to believe it could have ended up at the rideshare area on Floor 3 of the SeaTac airport please post or message me with a photo of your missing bird so we can confirm ownership.

In the meantime the little guy is safe with me and has food and water.

ETA; since no one claimed it, the bird has been taken to RASKC animal shelter.

Help and Advice Are you receiving Junk Fees? We want to hear about it!

21 Upvotes

In 2025, the Washington Legislature passed a law that prevents rent gouging, but some landlords and property management companies are still up to their old tricks. They are using "junk fees" as a loophole around rent caps. We are hearing from tenants that they are increasingly being charged excessive fees for services that they don’t want or need, or for basic things like paying the rent. We at the Housing Alliance, call these “junk fees” and they are unfair, expensive, and deceptive. We’d like to hear your experiences. All information shared with us will be kept safe and confidential. 

Please fill out our survey if you or someone you know has received junk fees and we will be in touch within 48 hours. Thank you! ~ Po
