What we’re hearing: Questions about stream locations

As we send out updates, we will respond to questions we are hearing from people who visit the online open house. We're compiling these questions and responses into a document, which we'll post on the project website.

Question: Are the stream locations in your maps accurate? The stream near my home doesn’t look quite right.

King County’s response: People with streams on or near their property have pointed this out to us. They have shared information about stream locations and stream behavior in different conditions. 

The maps in the online open house use King County stream data that is currently available. Available data may be out of date or inaccurate. This is especially true for creeks and streams. They may find new paths during flood events or naturally over time. Streams may also have been mapped prior to development in the area.

During the design phase, our project teams make sure we have current, accurate information. This means we need to assess streams and other features on site. This field research helps inform project design.   

A 3-dimensional map shows streams as blue lines coming down a forested hill to a blue lake, winding between trees and homes.

This 3-dimensional map shows streams as blue lines. The streams flow down a steep, forested hillside. They cross under East Lake Sammamish Parkway and flow into Lake Sammamish.
