There are a number of ways for you to receive Census 2020 help and get your questions answered. See below for details.
Census Assistance Centers Postponed
Beginning in mid-March, all Seattle Parks and Recreation Community Centers and all Seattle Public Library branches were to serve as Census Assistance Centers with staff prepared to answer your 2020 Census questions and direct you to the help you need.
However, to prevent the further spread of COVID-19 in our communities, we have closed libraries and community centers until at least April 13, pending further public health guidance. This means that community members will not be able to access in-person Census assistance or computer services at those locations until at least April 13.
Call the US Census Bureau
In the meantime, you can call the US Census Bureau for help if you have questions 7 days a week between 4am and 11pm PT. Before being directed to a live person, you will be prompted to enter your “Census ID”. Those without an ID should press # to proceed. As a reminder, the telephone numbers are:
