What is the Fairwood Subarea Plan?  

Subarea plans are part of the larger King County Comprehensive Plan, which guides growth and services in areas outside city limits (called unincorporated King County). Subarea plans help King County better serve specific communities and make sure decisions support both local and regional goals.

This subarea plan will guide how the Fairwood community grows and changes over the next 20 years. It will include community priorities and specific policies that aim to help both the community and King County government improve quality of life for everyone who lives, works, or spends time in Fairwood. The plan will also consider potential zoning changes that may affect things such as residential density, allowed uses, and other development standards. 

The plan covers topics such as:

• Land Use and Zoning;

• Housing and Human Services;

• Environment;

• Parks, Open Space, and Cultural Resources;

• Transportation;

• Services and Utilities; and

• Economic Development.

Community participation is a key part of the planning process. What we hear from community members will help shape development of the plan. Outreach is ongoing, but you can find the Phase One Engagement Report under the Community Engagement tab. The King County Executive will send a recommended plan to the County Council in 2027 for review.
