King County Local Services: Your Un-City Hall

If you live or do business in King County and outside city limits, King County Local Services is your local government. The county maintains county roads and bridges, issues permits, manages land use planning, and provides many other services to unincorporated areas which are grouped into seven Community Service Areas.

Community Service Areas offer expanded ways for King County to engage with businesses and residents who live outside city boundaries.  The Greater Federal Way region is in the West King County areas which includes urban unincorporated areas of King County, including East Federal Way, North Highline, West Hill, Fairwood, and East Renton.  These communities represent potential annexation areas to neighboring cities.
