COVID Updates - Services During the Pandemic and Re-Opening

The Fire Marshal's Office is providing all services at this time, with some modifications to align with the Governor's Healthy Washington - Roadmap to Recovery plan approved for King County. Our employees are following safe worksite guidelines and ask our customers to do so as well at their jobsites. Please note: our walk-in counter at 220 3rd Ave S has limited hours, and we recommend contacting us by email.

The best way to contact Fire Prevention staff is often by email. Most Fire Prevention units have designated email boxes that are monitored throughout the day.
