How do counties in the USA work?

610 viewsOther

I’m from the Philippines and we divide things differently here. The country is divided into provinces, which are divided into cities/municipalities, which are divided into barangays.

So I looked at a map of Washington and saw that Seattle is not its own county, but is a part of a county. So are states in the USA divided into counties, which are then divided into towns and cities?

Yeah, like that. King county for instance, where Seattle is located also includes Bellevue which has its own high rise downtown skyline, but also north, south and east has a lot of smaller towns located in it.
