The Subarea Plan is a 20-year plan that outlines a vision for the community and policies to help achieve that vision.  This plan is for the Snoqualmie Valley and Northeast King County. The topics covered can span many subjects, including: land use/zoning, housing, transportation, open space/parks, rural character, economic development, and climate change/hazard mitigation and resilience.

About the subarea plan

The Department of Local Services is working with Snoqualmie Valley and Northeast King County communities to develop a Subarea Plan that establishes a long range vision, and policies to implement the vision.  Throughout 2021 and early 2022 we conducted introductory meetings with representatives of communities and organizations throughout the service area to help get the word out. We then went to the community with vision, guiding principles concepts in Summer and early Fall of 2022.  The rest of 2022 we will be working hard to complete a draft plan to be shared with you for feedback early 2023. Please see the updated timeline to the right (or below if on a mobile device). Below are some opportunities to participate and feedback provided.

Opportunities to Participate

Thank you to those who have already shared your input regarding your hopes, concerns, and aspirations within the Snoqualmie Valley/NE King County area. Input to date has informed drafting the Subarea Plan, which includes a proposed community vision, guiding principles, policies and map amendments.  We are working hard to get a public review draft of the Plan to you early 2023 to hear your thoughts. Opportunities to participate will be presented soon.
