Help King County Improve Equity, Affordable Housing, Climate Resilience
 King County is updating its Comprehensive Plan, a 20-year plan that guides land use in unincorporated areas (places outside of city limits). This update will focus on actions to address social equity, affordable housing, and climate change in our region. There will be many opportunities for the public to provide input during this year-long planning process, starting with two surveys in September.
These short (6 and 7 question) surveys will ask for your thoughts on how King County should address affordable housing and climate change. The county would like to know…
- What types of housing make sense for our growing neighborhoods?
- How can we help residents stay in our communities as costs rise?
- How can King County help you stay cool in extreme heat?
- How can we help residents use less gasoline in their day-to-day lives?
King County will use the results of these surveys to guide studies and policies for the comprehensive plan, which will be available for public review and comment in early 2023. The county is also forming a community focus group that will meet over the next 12 months to help develop the plan update, which will include reviewing the survey results.
The group will make sure that the experiences of residents who are BIPOC, immigrants/refugees, or who have low incomes are centered in these early drafts.
