We will provide physical space to attend the remote hearing and provide public testimony for the preliminary plat application on Day 3 – Thursday, November 12.* On that day any member of the public may come to the 12th floor of the King County Courthouse at 516 Third Avenue, Seattle, Washington 98104 (between Yesler and James Streets). Please check-in at the front desk on the 12th floor. The examiner will not be in the courthouse, but staff will be there to seat you in front of a video screen where you can observe the hearing and offer public comment at the appropriate time. Please allow sufficient time in advance of the hearing start time to navigate traffic, find parking downtown, and to move through courthouse security.

Members of the public wanting to testify during the hearing may email us their contact information prior to the application hearing on November 12 so that we have a list of who will be providing comment.

Anyone that did not previously email us to testify, may testify during the public testimony portion of the hearing by using the raise hand feature on Zoom, physically raising their hand, or if dialing by phone – selecting *9 on their keypad. We will call the name of the next person to testify. For bus and light rail information, visit https://app.tripplanner.kingcounty.gov, and for parking, please visit https://kingcounty.gov/en/dept/executive-services/buildings-property/facilities-management/parking-operations.

*If public comment is not complete on Day 3, we will provide the same physical space for the hearing proceedings on Day 4 – Friday, November 13. If the hearing is completed on Thursday November 12, we will cancel Friday’s proceedings.
