The Office of the Hearing Examiner, established in 1973, hears appeals, protests, and other matters referred to it by City agencies, especially regarding land-use issues and housing and employment discrimination complaints. Hearing Examiners are appointed by the City Council from a group of three people chosen by the City Personnel Director, the Office of Citizen Complaints Director, and a representative from the Seattle/King County Bar Association.
