Remote proceedings
We hold proceedings remotely by Zoom for all proceedings. The log-in information is included in our notice that we issue well in advance of the proceeding date.
For applications, where the examiner issues a recommendation to Council, we offer a second option for the public to walk into the King County Courthouse at the location listed in our Notice of Hearing, to sit in front of a screen to view the hearing by Zoom and provide public comment. More details are included in our notice. If you would like a copy of our notice, please contact us.
