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 Fall of 2022 and early Winter of 2023. We released a public review draft from June 1 to July 15 for community feedfback. We are now addressing this feedback in a final plan that will be transmitted from the Executive to the County Council prior to 2024. Below are the public review materials.
The below PDF documents represent the public review draft. Document 'A' is the actual Subarea Plan, document 'B' are all of the zoning and land use map amendments associated with the Comprehensive Plan,* documents 'C' are the Readers Guide in English, Spanish, and Traditional Chinese (Mandarin). It is recommended to read the Readers Guide first, to help focus on the areas of the plan that are of most interest.
*The map amendments associated with this Subarea Plan are labeled as "Snoqualmie Valley/NE King County..."
