According to the press release of King County Council, in an effort to reduce costs and help balance their budget, King County has approved 10 unpaid furlough days for county employees. Essential emergency services such as police, fire, etc. will not be affected. Below is a list of the dates King County offices will be closed in 2009.

Friday Feb 13

Friday May 22
Friday June 19
Monday July 6
Friday Sept 4
Monday Oct 12
Wed Nov 25

Since the King County Recorder's office is part of the Executive Branch, it will also be closed on these dates, so transactions can't be recorded on these days.
The separately-elected officials of the County, including the Sheriff, Prosecutor, Sheriff and the Superior and District Court, will determine their own furlough schedules.
For further information about schedules and agencies that are affected, visit the King County site.

Excellent Localism post, Gabrielle. I'm not surprised that local governments are starting to cut back like everyone else.
Happy New Year and here's to a DIVINE '09!
