Working at KCLS as a High School Student

Hey,

If anyone here was worked in KCLS as a HS student, or knows anyone that works in KCLS as a HS student, I would greatly appreciate your help. I am looking to get a job (most likely as a Library Page/Shelver) at KCLS. I have heard that KCLS allows HS students to work at libraries, but haven’t seen any concrete proof. Does anyone know if this is possible/allowed by KCLS? Who should I contact about this? Or should I just apply for a position via governmentjobs.com?

Would greatly appreciate any help on this, thanks in advance!

Bandera Mountain and Little Bandera Mountain (again), WA - Rainier for Robert

Rainier for Robert.

If you know you know. Reddit has been getting upset with me lately and has been flagging my posts as spam so I'm refraining from posting my usual spiel. Hopefully this condensed version doesn't nuke my account.

If you're interested in my mission you can check out my previous posts on my account or follow the Rainier for Robert subreddit I made at Rainier for Robert.

Number 20. Bandera Mountain has been bagged. Little Bandera Mountain doesn't count, I already did it.

Rainier for Robert.

Permitting in King county….

So as of January 1, 2026 King County is requiring a flood survey to be done by a civil engineer in order to issue building permits in accordance with FEMA standards. The thing is I am remodeling a 100 year old farm house that sits on an elevation from a drainage ditch on my property (probably an old manure drain from the dairy farm that was here).

In the 100 years the house has stood here and not flooded. It started as a one room homestead and grew over the years and is in desperate need of updating.

My contractor has asked for recommendations of surveyers, as we are struggling to find civil engineer that is willing to work in King County because of the constant rule changes.

We are trying to get answers but the permitting office is only open 2 days a week, and getting there in person just puts you face to face with a receptionist.

Does anyone have any leads to civil engineers that do flood surveys in King County? Any advice on how to move permits through? I feel like all personable means of communication is lost and we are stuck with doing legwork and encoring the cost on the county‘s behalf for simply gathering data that they want.

Pierce County Section 8 HCV Lottery

So I was notified on 9/26/24 that I was drawn in the lottery. I submitted my intake in sufficient time. I heard nothing for months. Then on February 4, 2025 I got a letter saying there's no funding and that I am SOL until there is. It's 2025 and I am still homeless. The most frustrating part is that I was at the top of the list for 2 subsidized housing properties in King County that I did not take because I was informed that I would be getting a PCHA Section 8 voucher and I didn't want to complicate things by having to move in and then move out. I wouldn't still be homeless if I took the opportunity offered by KCHA. I am super frustrated because there has been no movement. This sucks. Anyone else have a similar experience?
