King County Sheriff's Four Creeks Storefront

Storefront deputies are on the front-lines in our neighborhoods and give citizens a name, a face, and a place to go when they need the assistance of the Sheriff's Office. As the Sheriff's resources diminish, it’s critical to have these deputies who focus on getting the community involved in looking out for their neighbors and better protecting themselves.  Read more...

H1N1 update

Form-Based Codes

A portion of the East Renton plateau is one of two demonstration projects that will assist in the creation and drafting of the new code. Demonstration area residents will have the opportunity to provide input throughout the project, beginning with an initial workshop that will provide information on the Form-Based Code and highlight its potential benefits for the area.  Learn more about about the King County Form-Based Code Project and suggest priorities and objectives for the new code at the King County's website. 

 

New Four Creeks Agreement

A community partnership agreement will benefit the Four Creeks community by making improvements to a community park and a wetland that also helps control storm water in the Four Creeks area. The recently signed “Four Creeks Agreement” creates a partnership between King County, the Four Creeks Unincorporated Area Council and two community groups – the Community Alliance to Reach out and Engage, and Stewardship of Wetland Areas by Neighbors.  Read more at King County Natural Resources and Parks Web site.

2010 King County Comprehensive Plan Update

The King County Comprehensive Plan guides growth and development in the unincorporated areas of King County and sets county policy on such major issues as annexation, transportation, and environmental protection.  Major amendments to this plan are allowed every four years – the next major amendment will take place in 2012. Each year, technical changes can be made to the plan. 

The 2010 Comprehensive Plan update to the King County Comprehensive Plan 2008 proposes an amendment to the Urban Growth Area boundary at Issaquah Highlands, an update of the Transportation Needs Report (TNR Website), amendments of the King County Code related to process improvements, and three pilot projects to test implementation of a form based zoning code.

Cedar Hills Regional Landfill site development plan

The King County Solid Waste Division is exploring ways to extend the useful life of the Cedar Hills Regional Landfill by developing more disposal capacity at the site. Five alternatives are under consideration that would provide additional landfill capacity. The alternatives under consideration would allow the Cedar Hills Regional Landfill to continue operation for three to thirteen years beyond the estimated closure date of 2018, which is based on current forecasts.  Your comments are welcome, please find more information on the Solid Waste Division's website.
