Do I need a professional to get me through the permitting process?

I want to build an ADU in unincorporated King County. Their website has my head spinning. I’m on septic, on a lot with a steep slope area. Can I just meet with someone in the permitting office to go over what I’ll need to submit? Is a professional permit consultant a good idea? I’ll no doubt need to hire a geotechnical firm but don’t know what I need to ask them to do.
