King County launches 'walking bus' at Seattle courthouse to address employee safety concerns
Following months of safety concerns and rallies from King County employees, the county has launched a new security program to walk with workers at night in downtown Seattle.
The county will implement a "walking bus" pilot program Monday to escort county employees working at its downtown campus — which includes the King County Courthouse, King County Administration Building, King County Correctional Facility, Chinook Building and Yesler Building — to nearby transit services.
"In this initial pilot phase, two dedicated security escorts will depart daily, Monday through Friday, from the King County Courthouse: one to the King Street Station and one to the Coleman Dock ferry terminal," the county wrote in a news release Wednesday.
