Flood management capital projects and studies
King County River and Floodplain Management Section capital projects are large investments in our local flood protection infrastructure. Capital projects are funded by the King County Flood Control District (District).
The District’s work plan is guided by the King County Flood Hazard Management Plan which serves as the comprehensive map of development for flood control and floodplain management. This plan identifies up to $335 million in critical flood protection repairs to aging infrastructure throughout King County.
You can look up the location of wastewater, flooding, stormwater, habitat and other King County capital projects on the King County capital projects map. Sort by project type, project owner, watershed or King County Council District.
Capital projects and SEPA public input opportunities
Currently, there are no opportunities for public input. We will list opportunities for public input on King County Flood Services Capital Projects and SEPA here when they are available.
