Amid rising COVID-19 case counts, hospitalizations, and deaths, on August 9, 2021, the State of Washington, King County, and the City of Seattle announced that they would require their employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19 by mid-October. Following this announcement on August 10, 2021, the City of Issaquah announced a similar mandatory vaccination requirement for non-represented staff and began negotiating the mandatory vaccination requirement with represented staff. On August 20, 2021, the City Administrator and Mayor formally issued the mandatory vaccination requirement in an updated COVID-19 Administrative Order. The updated Administrative Order recognized the continued obligation to bargain with represented groups regarding mandatory vaccinations.

Appropriately managing chronic pain experienced by older adults is an important goal for health care providers and anyone working with older adults in community-based settings. Balancing the need for effective pain management while preventing medication misuse, abuse, and addiction must be an integral component of achieving this goal.
The Aging Mastery Program (AMP) is an evidence-informed enrichment program developed by National Council on Aging (NCOA) that encourages adults to take steps to support happiness and longevity. AMP includes 10 topics, covered over a number of weekly sessions, that pairs information on physical health, financial health and life enrichment with action steps and activities.
The City's authority to impose a property tax is derived from the Washington State Constitution and described in the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) Chapters 84.52 and 84.55. The revenues from property tax are considered general government revenues. That means that this money is placed in the General Fund and can be used for any basic governmental service or goods such as public safety, planning, parks, or administration.

The State empowers cities and towns to levy utility taxes through the same general authority that allows the collection of the business and occupation (B&O) tax. It is important to distinguish the difference between utility rates and utility tax rates. While utility rates support the utilities themselves, utility tax revenues accrue to the General Fund and can be used for general government purposes. Utility taxes are levied upon the gross operating revenues of both public and private utilities and are typically passed directly onto the rate payers by the utilities themselves.
