In Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. County, we lead with our values and True North – from investing in historically marginalized and oppressed communities to implementing laws that ensure all people here are honored, respected, and treated with dignity. We recognize that our greatness has come from our diversity, and that our prosperity is a result of embracing and supporting all who call our county home. 

King County will continue to be a welcoming place for ALL people, including immigrants and refugees, recognizing the vital contributions to our region’s cultural and economic strength by our diverse residents. We are committed to ensuring that county services and programs support all residents, regardless of immigration status. 

With so much information coming from the new federal administration, it might feel overwhelming. Executive Constantine and all King County departments will carefully review federal policies, and their impacts on the County’s work. Guidance and support for our employees will be forthcoming. 

Thank you for all that you do in service to our True North: Making King County a Welcoming Community where every person can thrive.
