Dunn applauds ‘courageous’ Executive plan to bring county workers back to office

January 16, 2026

King County Councilmember Reagan Dunn issued the following statement Friday after King County Executive Girmay Zahilay announced that King County will soon require its employees to work from the office at least three days a week:

“I commend Executive Zahilay for taking the necessary and courageous steps to enforce King County’s in-person work requirements. For years, residents have been let down by a local government that has not consistently delivered on its commitment to in-person constituent service. Executive Zahilay’s decisive leadership in this area will greatly improve service to King County taxpayers and help restore public confidence. I am hopeful this will bring forward a renewed culture of presence, accountability, and public service to King County government.”
