Snoqualmies Lower Housing Target Gets Final Approval from King County

Snoqualmie, WALocal News

King County officially ratified Snoqualmie's housing growth target reduction from 1,500 to 719 units on October 27, 2025. This decision followed a comprehensive study that demonstrated the original target was unfeasible due to Snoqualmie's developed land and environmental constraints. Mayor Ross initiated the request for the adjustment in March 2024 after the study's findings. The King County Growth Management Planning Council unanimously supported the request in Spring 2025, recognizing the importance of sustainable development. Mayor Ross thanked various agencies for their collaboration in achieving this outcome, emphasizing the need for affordable housing options.

The King County Council approved the request in July 2025, leading to the final ratification after a 90-day review. This reduced target aims to balance housing growth with the preservation of Snoqualmie's character and environment. The decision reflects a broader commitment to responsible urban planning in the region.
