King County Council
Review of 2024 Comprehensive Plan
Thank you for your interest in the King County Comprehensive Plan. On December 7, 2023, the King County Executive transmitted to the King County Council the proposed 2024 King County Comprehensive Plan. The package includes three proposed ordinances: The 2024 Comprehensive Plan is Proposed Ordinance 2023-0440; changes to the Countywide Planning Policies are shown in Proposed Ordinance 2023-0438; the Snoqualmie Valley/Northeast King County Subarea Plan is shown in Proposed Ordinance 2023-0439.
Council Review Process
The legislation has been referred to the Local Services and Land Use Committee for review over the next several months for potential amendment and recommendation, with final adoption by the full Council anticipated in December 2024. Information on how to participate in Committee meetings is available on the Committee website.
Information about the Council’s review of the proposal can be found on the 2024 Comprehensive Plan website (note that the website looks different than it has in the past!).
