Leonard Hernandez Thurston's county manager should be fired for failure to set professional staff…read morecustomer service expectations to ensure the tax paying customer recieves proper services. I called Ben the director and Kyle the manager of emergency sevices multiple times over a week with no professional response back to provide service. Olivia Studbacker who is Leonard's secretary also does not have any professional outbound phone message stating who reached and when they will be back to return your service request. Staff are not at there post to answer the phone and provide services. Leonard lets staff work remotely in their slippers if they want instead of requiring they show up at the office for him to monitor the public is even recieving professional services from our staff. Oliva had the nerve to tell the upset customer that they were speaking to her with a hostile tone and took no responsibility for her unprofessionalism. When i tried to set a telephone conference to address this poor customer service coming from several of the staff members Oliva refused saying Leonard is very busy. She stated she would call me back by the end of the week after she spoke to Leonard. Olivia never called me back. This is unacceptable behavior from an entitled staff that extorts taxes to pay themselves while having no consequences for poor unprofessional conduct resulting in customers never getting service under Leonard Hernandez management style that serves the staff not the community members.

They never made anyone feel bad for asking. They also set up the Zoom camera really well so we could clearly see what they were doing on the sewing machine, even when their back was turned to the class. It was a unique setup I have not seen before, and honestly something other instructors, coaches, and teachers should consider using for live demonstrations. The front desk staff were incredibly kind, foo. They took the initiative to introduce themselves while i waited in line and made surey questions were answered right away. They never acted too busy to help, which made the whole experience feel welcoming. I would definitely come back -- even just to study. The library has beautiful artwork displayed throughout, and the space feels open without being overwhelming, especially with the many book shelves. Overall, a really well-run class in a really neat environment.

I would put this as the worst of the government agencies run in Washington State. The thing is its…read morenever the workers. My complaint is usually the budget and the amount of workers they have to manage the workload. I used to think that the DOL was the worst but it no longer holds this title. The fact is, when your state cannot manage a government run agency for the service of the people, it more than likely cannot manage other things which I am in no doubt. These are the core services that every state must manage and Washington is failing at this. This complaint is not of the service, the people I have interacted with , which are few, have given me the information I require, but if you cannot assist the people who need it, AI or not giving the people of this state the service they need, I am hoping the people vote another way to see if someone else can fix the issue.

There are already housing codes in place to protect and keep everyone safe.
