Public Service Recognition Week

BERJAYA

PSRW is a time to celebrate the people behind the public service.

Governor Bob Ferguson proclaimed May 3-9, 2026 Public Service Recognition Week to honor those who serve our communities across federal, state, county, and local government employees. With the generous support from event sponsors and state employee volunteers, OFM is coordinating local events and employee awards to recognize Washington’s public servants and the impact they make every day. Read the Governor’s proclamation
