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'm grateful to the Public School Teachers who continue to serve our Communities in spite of having "their hands tied" with regard to so many factors that impact their ability to be effective in the classroom; class sizes, behavioral problems, contradictory societal values etc etc. You have my undying gratitude and utmost respect.
