County email addresses change: County e-mail addresses are changing from the long-standing
"firstname.lastname@metrokc.gov" to "firstname.lastname@kingcounty.gov". The former e-mail
addresses will still work to deliver e-mails throughout 2008, however, it is a good idea to change email addresses
for your King County contacts in address books and listings now. See the Industrial Waste
Program's staff contacts for specific e-mail addresses.
The Industrial Waste Advisory Committee (IWAC) meets three times this year.
Learn more about the committee and its recent and upcoming meetings.
