Several Ferry County government offices will be closed every Friday this fall as part of a trial 32-hour work week approved by the Board of Commissioners. The board approved the pilot program at its May 27, 2025 regular meeting. The trial runs from September 1 through November 30, 2025.
The following offices will be closed on Fridays during the trial period: the Auditor's Office, Assessor's Office, Building and Planning Department, Public Records office, Commissioner's Office, Public Works Office, WSU Extension Office, Treasurer's Office, and GIS Office.
Residents who need services from any of these offices should plan to visit Monday through Thursday during the trial period. The announcement was issued by April Drennan, Clerk of the Board.
