 King County is sharing the early concepts of proposals for the 2024 Comprehensive Plan, a 20-year plan that guides people live, work, and play in unincorporated communities (places outside of city limits). The overview document provides a high-level summary of the specific actions King County is considering to address social equity, affordable housing, and climate change in our region.
Between now and Feb 24, 2023, you have the opportunity to weigh in on whether these proposals are headed in the right direction! Give your feedback by sending an email or answering a short feedback form. In addition, you are invited to attend a virtual townhall meeting on Thursday February 16, 2023 (6 - 8:30 PM).
Find more information at King County's 2024 Comprehensive Plan Update webpage.
