‘It doesn’t look good’: King County council member deflates return-to-office protest arguments

King County Executive Girmay Zahilay is enforcing a mandate requiring county employees to work in the office at least three days a week. About 75 workers represented by PROTEC17 union protested the requirement Tuesday at the downtown Seattle office building, arguing remote work has been effective for years. County Councilmember Reagan Dunn supports the mandate, citing concerns about service delivery and collaboration among the county’s approximately 18,000 employees.
