Honestly some of the nicest people I've ever met work in the Plat Room and Clerk and Recorder's office. And to the complaint review left before this one - how is it really so unimaginable that they didn't answer the phone for an hour? They are serving the WHOLE Flathead Valley. They are busy people with many requests. Everyone there has always been so kind and helpful to me. Appreciate them all!
