Major projects completed in 2024 connect communities, protect water quality, improve habitat, and reduce carbon pollution
Collage of King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks projects from 2024.

Our employees and partners completed major projects in 2024 – including a few record-setting achievements – that better connect communities, protect water quality, improve habitat, reduce flood risks, and cut greenhouse gas emissions.  

Many required years of hard work that demonstrated remarkable persistence, such as the Fall City Floodplain Restoration Project. Others, such as the Power Quality Improvement Project at West Point Treatment Plant, needed to be completed quickly due to the increasing risks caused by climate change.

King County Parks completed multiple trail projects that better connect more people to more opportunities. Our Solid Waste Division, meanwhile, made early progress on Re+, beginning to transition to sustainable, circular economy that reduces waste and cuts greenhouse gas emissions.

Each accomplishment produced lasting results that will benefit people, fish, and wildlife for generations.

Here are a few of the top achievements by our workforce and community partners this year.
