Fairs and events - 2020 calendar

ATTENTION: King County and other local governments and organizations are postponing or cancelling many public events. Currently, Public Health – Seattle & King County recommends avoiding bringing together large groups of people, and we here at King County Water and Land Resources Division (WLRD) are doing our part to help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus by complying with this recommendation. Please confirm the status of any events prior to attendance. Thank you. Find out more about COVID-19 and our ongoing response. 

Throughout the year, we have staff on hand at public events, fairs and community farmers markets to answer questions about noxious weeds. Contact our office to request a noxious weed information booth for your community event.
