Every October, National Disability Employment Awareness Month recognizes the contributions of workers with disabilities and calls attention to the barriers that still keep too many people out of the workforce.

If you have a medical condition that is impacting your ability to perform your essential job functions, you may want to begin the accommodation process by discussing your needs with your supervisor, contacting your HR Partner, or contacting Disability Services/Transit Disability Services. You are not required to disclose any sensitive medical information to your supervisor or manager, only what the limitation or restriction is, and what job task you are having difficulty performing.

You can contact Disability Services by:

Email at DisabilityService@kingcounty.gov, or phone at 206-263-9329, or by reaching out directly to the Disability Services Consultant assigned to your department/division.

For Metro Transit employees, email TransitDisabilityServices@kingcounty.gov, call 206-477-8319, or reach out directly to the assigned Disability Services Specialist.
