What is the Fairwood Subarea Plan?  

The plan will be a guide for how the Fairwood community grows and changes over the next 20 years. It includes goals and policies to help both the community and King County government improve quality of life for everyone who lives, works, or spends time in Fairwood. We are focused on real, equitable improvements for all.

The plan will cover topics such as:

• Land use and zoning

• Housing and human services

• Environment

• Parks, open space, and cultural resources

• Transportation

• Services and utilities

• Economic development

Community participation is a key part of the planning process. What we hear from Fairwood area community members will help shape the plan. The King County Executive will send a recommended plan to the County Council in 2027 for review.

This subarea plan is part of the larger King County Comprehensive Plan, which guides growth and services in areas outside city limits (called unincorporated King County). Subarea plans help King County better serve specific communities and make sure decisions support both local and regional goals.
