What King County is doing for salmon:
We're buying and restoring salmon habitat:
We're planning for salmon recovery:
- Watershed Salmon Conservation Plans
King County, in conjunction with other local governments, businesses,
Indian tribes, environmental groups, and State agencies, is developing
science-based plans to conserve salmon.
» Lake Washington/Cedar/Sammamish Watershed - Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 8
» Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed - Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 9
» Snohomish Basin salmon conservation planning (external link)
These habitat-focused plans are being developed for each watershed in King County.
- "Return of the Kings"
King County's strategies for the long-term conservation and recovery of the chinook salmon.
Our response includes early scientifically based projects to protect, preserve,
and restore critical habitat to ensure a properly functioning ecosystem to
support salmon. New regulations and enforcement will improve land use
activities, and various voluntary programs will encourage landowners to protect
critical habitat on their land.

- Proposed Changes to the Comprehensive Plan
The King County Comprehensive Plan 2000 Update is the first significant revision of the Plan
since its adoption in 1994. The Plan Update advances County Executive Ron Sims' Smart
Growth Initiative and its major themes -- Livable Communities, Linking Land Use and
Transportation, Rural Legacy, and Environmental Protection. In addition, it addresses
changes under the Endangered Species Act. The comprehensive plan guides land use and
development throughout the unincorporated portions of King County.
