During the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation, the Hearing
Examiner’s Office is doing its best to conduct day-to-day business and hearings
as scheduled. As of March 18, 2020, Mayor Victoria Woodards ordered the
Tacoma Municipal Building at 747 Market Street (TMB) closed to the public in an
effort to help with social distancing and stem the spread of COVID-19. City staff and the Office of the Hearing Examiner are attempting
to continue scheduling and conducting hearings during this time through
alternative means, primarily video conferencing via Zoom.
If you are a party to a hearing and feel that, rather than
video conferencing for your hearing, an in-person hearing is necessary, you may
opt to postpone your hearing until such time as in-person hearings are again
feasible. Otherwise, hearings will be held by video conference until the TMB is
reopened and gathering limits are lifted.
For members of the public wishing to attend any scheduled public
hearing and/or offer testimony, you may offer testimony in writing at any time
prior to the hearing date, and you may also participate by teleconference and
offer testimony in that medium. You will need a computer, phone or tablet that
has the Zoom app installed. It is free. The Hearing Examiner’s Office can be
contacted as follows:
