Governments work better when communities are involved. King County is working on creating the tools that allow residents to make requests, send the county messages and stay informed about activities in your area. The first thing we’ve done is to create a way for you to report noxious weeds. You can help control invasive plants in the county as well as find useful information on how to identify them. You can also contact King County with questions, complaints or feedback by sending messages with an option to call. Look for more reporting options and other helpful features in future releases.
