I applied for a job with Public Health Seattle King County and had an interview a couple weeks ago. We aren’t expected to hear back just yet, but I am looking for any PHSKC employees who could shed some light on approximate timelines for next steps (reference checks, background checks, drug screen, etc.). I have read the available information online about the county hiring processes but am uncertain as my application/interview process seems to be atypical based on the laid out description. It seems I went straight to the 50 min virtual interview with a panel related to the position and there was not an initial HR interview. Looking for any experiences that seem similar or anyone who can shed some light on how long I may be able to expect the necessary checks to take, should I be moved on based on my interview.

I am looking for bulletin boards to post a research recruitment flyer throughout all of king county, not just Seattle. Please, provide names of coffee shops or other community spaces that you know (other than libraries).

Note: I am already planning on libraries, starbucks bulletins is for only things related to them.

I'm thinking of running for the King Conservation Board next year.

Generally speaking, the website states,

"King Conservation District is a nonregulatory, special purpose district, funded by you, with a mission to promote the sustainable use of natural resources through voluntary stewardship in King County. We provide technical assistance to private residents in forest management, farm conservation planning, wildfire preparedness, and streamside and shoreline enhancement. We also work with cities and other organizations to support community gardens, urban forest canopy, and local food systems."

Given my background in the natural sciences, various volunteer roles and a genuine intrest in helping my fellow KC residents, I like the opportunity, however..

One of the factors in me considering whether or not to is what do folks in the district have concerns about, intrest in, or just wanna know more about when it comes to:

Forest management

Farm conservation planning

Wildfire preparedness

Streamside and shoreline enhancement

I ask to be as informed to where people are at and what their thoughts, feelings, concerns or whatever related to it maybe. What would you want an elected official working on when it comes to advocacy for a roll

Also if you're in King County in general, or even Pierce, Snohomish, Kittitas, Yakima, Chelan or Kitsap, (counties that technically do touch KC), I would love to hear from you too. Environment and conservation stuff doesn't just stop at some arbitrary line, so it'd be nice to get your opinions too.

I'm looking for a reputable relaible workers compensation attorney, Anyone have success with this? Thanks!

After four years of red tape, I am giving up on the occupant certification. I moved my mother out here four years ago when my father passed, bought a plot of land and built a house.

Today my inspector insisted that our gas tag is fake and threatened to call PSE and have them turn off the gas. PSE connected and permit the gas over a year ago but King County had no record of it. King county had no record of the King County Fire Marshal fire inspection. King county roads had no idea how to provide detailed specifications to our contractor for King County’s required asphalt apron at the end of our gravel driveway.

I have had this inspector tell me that nobody held a gun to my head and made me build here.

I’ve had it. I am moving my mother into her house without obtaining King County’s occupancy certification.

Can someone tell me the possible repercussions from this? Has anyone else done this?

If an existing structure (early 1900s garage/shed) is in disrepair and needs replacing can I repair/replace like for like with its current setback?

The shed measures 17x11 and is 2 1/2 ft from the property line. If it were to be rebuilt would it now need to conform to 5ft setback? I see the City of Bellevue has a setback exception for accessory structures under 200 sq ft that can be built within 50% of the setback requirements. Is there something similar in King County?

Does the setback even apply if it’s repairing/replacing an existing structure to same dimensions that is non conforming?

Hi all,

My parents recently retired and moved to King County area (Renton Highlands). I'm worried about their health deteriorating as they haven't been exercising at all. I want to find them a personal trainer who can teach them basic strength training fundamentals and encourage them to do cardio (like elliptical).

Does anyone have recommendations for a senior-specialized (or just a patient) personal trainer? Or any programs they recommend? Thank you!

What would be the best way to go about getting a GED if I am a senior citizen? Any information is appreciated, thank you.
