What is the Comprehensive Plan?
The Comprehensive Plan drives county decisions and planning for services in unincorporated areas such as where homes, offices, or stores can be built; how roads, buildings, and trees contribute to the look and feel of neighborhoods; investments in transit and parks; protection of working farms and forests; and access to clean water, clean air, and a healthy environment.
Through July 15, King County residents have a once-a-decade opportunity to offer their input and make significant changes to the updates proposed for the Comprehensive Plan, a document that guides where people live, work, and play in unincorporated communities outside of city limits.
Visit kingcounty.gov/compplan to learn more and share your thoughts.
