As the only county in the United States named after Martin Luther King, Jr., King County is a vibrant community with residents who represent countries from around the world. It is a region with increasing diversity that cherishes the artistic and social traditions of many cultures. Together, we're changing the way government delivers service and winning national recognition as a model of excellence.

As part of this office, this position will support a team on the forefront of the King County efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, support sustainable and resilient frontline communities, and ensure climate preparedness in our communities and infrastructure. ECO prioritizes inclusion and justice for all people in County work on climate, with the aim of decreasing disparities in our organization and our communities.
