RTID Explained. The Regional Transit Investment District is working on a list of road and transit improvement projects, along with ways to finance them. King County Department of Transportation Director Harold Taniguchi explains the department’s role in RTID.

Flood Season. The leaves are falling and so is the rain. The height of the flood season in King County generally falls between November and February. Time for a primer for residents in flood prone areas on the county’s four phase-flood warning system.

Time Flies. King County International Airport celebrated its 75^th anniversary with a grand re-opening of its newly remodeled, historic passenger terminal building.
