MAKE EVERY VOICE COUNT

Hiring a Census Program Manager Home to many historically under-counted populations, Renton had one of the lowest 2010 Census counts in King County. This reduced the amount of federal funding the city received for projects affecting residents’ every day lives. The city is hiring a Census Program Manager to guide Renton to a complete count for the upcoming 2020 US Census. Application closes Oct. 15.

DEADLINE IS OCT. 25
