King County Community Service Centers (CSCs)

Community Service Center services and information

Most King County offices will be closed on Friday, July 3 to observe the Fourth of July holiday, and will be closed as a cost saving measure on Monday July 6 for an unpaid employee furlough day. However, some King County services are available online. For more information about 2009 scheduled furlough days and online services, please visit our furlough information page. We will be available to serve you again on Tuesday, July 7.

Locations and hours are listed below. Also, check for holiday and furlough day closure information before going to a Community Service Center.

Starting June 1, you must have a passport book, passport card, or other travel documents approved by the U.S. government to enter the United States from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda at all land borders and sea ports of entry. You can apply for a U.S. passport at any Community Service Center. Find out more by visiting http://travel.state.gov.
