If you’ll be buying or selling property in King County throughout this year, it might be good to put these dates on your calendar so you don’t inadvertently put the closing date of a contract on the wrong day and have an automatic bump to the next business day. Also, these dates are announced without King County having put in any furlough days, as they did in 2009. If budget issues arise, you might expect to see that again as those were instituted and then updated not necessarily at the beginning at the calendar year in 2009. So, for 2010 keep your eyes open for any possible changes. Next up…. Snohomish County recording office closure dates.
