King County GIS Center

I’ve enjoyed working for King County since September 2010. I’m fairly new to the county, but I hope to continue working here for years to come.
King County is an excellent place to work because it offers great benefits, competitive salaries, job security (when major layoffs are not occurring), and lots of training/​learning opportunities.
The location of the King Street Center makes for a very convenient commute from any part of the city, or beyond. The free bus pass makes the commute even better.

«The King County GIS Center mission is to deliver top value to the region by providing efficient, high-​quality GIS leadership, coordination, infrastructure, and services that meet the business needs of King County and the communities we serve.»
W-​h-​a-​t? In commoner-​speak, the KC Geographic Information System (GIS) Center gathers, processes and provides access to location-​based public information of all kinds — population demographics, public spaces, natural resources, transportation, public health and safety and my personal favorite — property information (
). There’s so much information here it’s scary. Diligent Ray used it to collect/​verify his own information. Devious Ray used it to «discover» his neighborhood.
5 Stars — It’s all a matter of public record!
