King County Executive Shannon Braddock has declared May 18-24, 2025, as Emergency Medical Services Week in King County.

“This is in recognition of the value and the accomplishments of our emergency medical services personnel throughout our region,” she said.

EMS Week is a time to honor emergency medicine’s frontline workers who provide lifesaving services in our community – day and night. Our own Medic One/EMS system in King County has been called “one of the world’s best” which can be directly attributed to the dedication and skill of the EMTs, paramedics and telecommunicators in the region. EMS Week reminds us to recognize and appreciate the efforts of those who heed the call from those in need, whatever and wherever the emergency.
