*Federal Way Local Census Office Open House*
The U.S. Census recently opened a Local Census Office in Federal Way. The office's area includes Auburn, Kent, Tukwila, Burien, Federal Way, parts of West Seattle, Enumclaw, and a number of other cities in the area. We are having an Open House on January 14 in order to introduce ourselves to the local community. We hope that this will be a great way for us to meet local community leaders who can help ensure that their communities are completely and accurately counted.
January 14, 2010, 1:30-3:30PM
Federal Way Local Census Office
33705 9th Ave. S, Building C, Suite 100
Federal Way, WA 98003
Featuring a panel of local mayors, entertainment and refreshments.
Please RSVP to Daniel Leigh at 253-449-1143 or aa.lc...@census2010.gov
Why participate in the Census and come to the open house?
The Census Bureau will recruit nearly 3.8 million applicants for field operations and 1,200 + of those will come from our Local Census Office
Paid advertising for Census jobs will come out in late January, so we want to get a jump start by letting you know first so that you can help us spread the word to your community.
Make sure your community is counted! The federal government distributes more than $400 billion every year to state and local governments, and apportions congressional representation based on the results of the census.
Census data is private. The Census Bureau is prohibited by law from sharing any individually identifiable information with anyone--including other federal agencies and law enforcement. Census employees are sworn to protect information that could identify specific persons, and there are criminal penalties for any violation of that oath.
