It is not all that often that there is a public service team that embodies the spirit of the term, "public service". However, in King County, WA the Licensing team truly holds those words to heart. They are about the most caring group of individuals I have ever come across in any public service organization. They are dedicated to each customer they serve and take personal responsibility in ensuring that those customer's needs are met. They truly care about each individual as they serve them but also, they deeply care for the general public and the citizens of the county in which they serve. King County follows a set of values called, "True North" which encompasses the belief that the employees want to make King County a welcoming community where every person can thrive. Two of those values that the Licensing team holds close to their hearts are, "We focus on the customer" and "We respect all people". The Licensing team sets the bar for what outstanding public service should look like and should be applauded for their efforts! Great job King County Licensing, we all thank you for your dedication, kindness and service!
I would like to nominate one of my county's legislators James Nolan. He's absolutely an incredible human not only has he helped me align professionally to support and help community members. He helps community members and truly has a heart for the people. From tree removal to extensive home renovations. If you call on James he will help you! I truly respect his blue collar work ethic as he's also a DPW team member. Literally from the suites to the streets he's a nobel, honest and hardworking example. Also he's so approachable and relatable for the young people of our community. That's how we truly build a sense of community! by supporting each other and ALWAYS uplifting our youth.

Thank you to the consumer financial protection bureau for providing a pamphlet on home equity loans with my application from my bank. It was great to know someone other than the institution trying to sell me on the product had my back with objective information and tips.
