Fall City ground and county permit lines
Fall City is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in King County. State Route 202 crosses part of the Snoqualmie Valley there, and the town sits where the Raging River meets the Snoqualmie. County code and permit pages set the first lines for most work on those lots, so the first question on any job is which county review applies.
King County announced in 2022 that it would restore river access to 145 acres of old floodplain near Fall City, with aims that include salmon habitat and easing flood and erosion risk nearby. That county project is not a permit rule for a private lot. Before layout we record each parcel’s grade, its road frontage, and its distance from the river, and we ask the county in writing about any mapped critical area.
Nearby, we also build in Snoqualmie, Carnation, North Bend, and Duvall, and we serve the rest of western Washington.
