Claim Filing

Washington state law requires that you notify the King County Housing Authority of a claim prior to filing a lawsuit against it. KCHA has 60 days after a claim has been submitted to accept or reject the claim. If KCHA takes no action, the claim is deemed rejected.

To direct a claim to KCHA, complete the Tort Claim Form (PDF) and mail it to:

Craig Violante
Risk Management — Tort Claims
600 Andover Park W.
Tukwila, WA 98188

KCHA will not accept claim forms submitted to any other location. Provide as much information as possible with the form, including copies of all repair bills or estimates, medical bills, photographs, and any other supporting documents. Please remember that the investigative process may take some time.
