Dispute Resolution Center of King County
Non-profit agency for mediators, students, & those in need of conflict resolution.
The DRC is a community mediation center, using professional mediators who volunteer their time to help us solve thousands of disputes per year on behalf of the agency. This approach helps the agency keep its fees low and allows us to offer a sliding scale for payment of mediation services.

General information
In 1984, the Washington State Legislature adopted the Court Improvement Act. As incorporated in the Revised Code of Washington (RCW), the legislation’s five goals were outlined for dispute resolution centers.
• to stimulate the development and use of dispute resolution centers as an alternative to the courts for resolving certain issues;
• to encourage community participation in local dispute resolution programs;
• to develop structures which can serve as models for other dispute resolution centers;
• to resolve disputes within the community, and;
• to educate the community about dispute resolution and prevention.
All DRCs must operate as non-profit, city or county organizations and must offer services to clients regardless of their ability to pay. The vast majority of mediation services provided by DRCs are delivered by professional mediators who volunteer their time.
