King County Assessor, Lloyd Hara, Where do my property tax dollars go?

Wondering where your property tax dollars go? Seeking answers about your property valuations? King County Assessor Lloyd Hara will address the property assessments process, valuations, exemptions, online services and the appeal process. In light of the downturn in the real estate market, the Assessor will also provide information on understanding their property taxes and the local levy rates. For seniors seeking tax relief, the Assessor will provide information in the senior exemption and/or deferral program.

New take out meal service available at the Shoreline-LFP Senior Center

During the week you can purchase a meal at the Senior Center for lunch, and take home a meal if there is food remaining after lunch is served. However on weekends, if you do not cook or you do not have the time, you do not eat balanced meals. In fact you eat whatever there is around the house. So, to help you out, a new scratch meal service is being offered on Fridays for those of you who may need meals for the week-end. Meals can be purchased for yourself, parents, friends or neighbors. We will need your orders by Wednesday, and your meals will be ready for pick up on Friday. They will come in containers that are both freezable and microwaveable. Call or come by the Senior Center to find out what the Friday menu will be each week. The price for these meals will be $4.00 each.
