The King County Dispute Resolution Center (DRC) has provided mediation services, training, and informational presentations to people who live or work in King County, Washington State, since 1987. Approved to operate under the auspices of RCW (Revised Code of Washington) 7.75, the DRC is a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt corporation, governed by a Board of Directors drawn from the community.

Most of the DRC's mediation services are provided by approximately 160 volunteers, who each year work about 3,600 cases, consisting of mediations and problem-solving and informational calls with individual clients. Eight staff members provide professional supervision, training, outreach, and administrative support.

The DRC's annual operating budget is approximately $260,000. The DRC is funded by King County, the City of Seattle, foundations, and by the generous (tax deductible) contributions of individuals and corporations in the community.
