Tips for Lynnwood Phone Directory Calls
Before you call, write down your question. Have names, dates, and case numbers ready. This saves time on the call. If the first staff person cannot help, ask who can. Most offices will transfer you or give you a direct line. Be kind. Staff handle many calls each day. If the line is busy, try again or send an email.
