King County’s legislative branch will take an unpaid furlough day on Friday, March 13.

The central offices of the King County Council will be closed, along with the offices of the County Auditor, Ombudsman, Board of Appeals, Hearing Examiner, Tax Advisor, and King County TV.

The Clerk of the Council will have staff on duty in Room W-1039 to receive required document filings.

County employees are taking the unpaid furlough as a means to help close the gap in the 2009 King County Budget.

While the Council is closed, other County services will still be available.

You will be able to leave voice messages at the Council’s main number 206-296-1000 or visit the Council Web site at www.kingcounty.gov/council.
