King County is committed to helping employees build a financially secure future. October is National Retirement Security Month — a great time to learn more about your retirement options and make sure your plans are on track.

Understand your retirement plans

Employees are enrolled in a King County pension plan through the Washington State Department of Retirement Systems (DRS). Check your retirement account at drs.wa.gov or call 800-547-6657.

In addition, you are also offered the King County Deferred Compensation Plan, an optional retirement savings plan administered by T. Rowe Price. You can enroll at any time or log in here to review your current contribution rates and investment selections. You can also call 888-457-5770 to speak with a certified retirement specialist.
