I want to build an ADU in unincorporated King County. Their website has my head spinning. I’m on septic, on a lot with a steep slope area. Can I just meet with someone in the permitting office to go over what I’ll need to submit? Is a professional permit consultant a good idea? I’ll no doubt need to hire a geotechnical firm but don’t know what I need to ask them to do.
I just received the increased property tax notice and am terrified.
The rate has tripled since I purchased the house in 2017, and yet my income has been cut in half due to health changes and ability to work. How can I get help and/or relief to this ever-climbing tax so that I can continue to live in my home?
I have a neurodevelopment disorder and am afraid I won't be able to navigate the system on my own.
Please help.

Howdy Kent Folks! I'm local comedian JR Berard, born and raised in the PNW, and I'm back in Kent next week — where the beer is superb, the crowds are thirsty, and my jokes land at just about the right amount of hopped up chaos.
Yeah, it's a school night. Nobody. Cares.
You're the adult now. No homework, no bedtime, no permission slips — just as much beer as you want and an outdoor tent of strangers who also decided Sunday was optional. Nobody — nobody — gets to tell my audience what to do for their Sunday scaries!
So skip the chores, ghost the group chat, grab your dog (or someone else's dog, we don't ask questions), and come be bad with us in Kent. You can be responsible tomorrow.
