Program guidelines

Businesses and organizations occasionally seek to offer discounts to King County employees. If these businesses or organizations meet the guidelines below, discounts will be made available to employees as listed on the King County Intranet as well as on www.kingcounty.gov/employees. Discounts serve as an additional benefit to being a valued King County employee and will support King County’s economy, help to promote vibrant, thriving and sustainable communities, and safeguard and enhance King County’s natural resources and environment in line with the King County Strategic Plan.
