Fall City Floating Contract Renewal Survey

In 2015, Fall City Floats (FCF) was granted a contract by King County to use part of Fall City Park to operate a summer seasonal river float rental and shuttle service to the public.

This year, King County Parks (KCP) is considering renewing this concession agreement between Fall City Floating and KCP for 2024-2029. This five-year agreement will define the operating terms for the FCF’s next contract term.

The contract renewal process focuses on how Fall City Floats runs its operation. It is not a means to collect feedback on broad river safety issues.

We want to hear from you! As community members who live, work, and play around Fall City, you know best what your neighborhood needs. We want to hear what your top priorities are. This survey should take less than 3 minutes to complete.

This survey's focus is primarily on the operations of FCF and the contract renewal NOT river safety.
