Centers Designated for Urban and Commercial Land Use in King County

The Multicounty and Countywide Planning Policies guide the development of urban centers, which are principally located in cities, and should accommodate concentrations of housing and employment. Focusing growth into centers helps achieve the goals of a sustainable and equitable community. However, in its unincorporated urban area, King County has a small number of smaller-scale urban centers, which includes an unincorporated activity center, community business centers and neighborhood business centers.
