Our top stories and videos for 2021

This past year, the twice weekly Employee News newsletter shared employee accomplishments and events, COVID-19 resources and vaccine updates, training and career development information, and other relevant employee news. The Department of Human Resources Employee Communications Team also featured these items on the KC Employee News blog, the King County Employees YouTube channel, the KCEmployees Twitter account, and the King County, WA LinkedIn account.

We would like to thank you, our employee audience, for interacting with this information, sharing it with colleagues, and helping us provide timely news and information that is relevant to your career, your family, and your community.

2021 has been an equally challenging year, and we are grateful to have your support. If you have any story ideas, suggestions, or recommendations, please email us KCEmployees@kingcounty.gov.
