Fall City has been targeted by a real estate developer who has aggressively purchased land inside the rural town boundary. In total, the subdivisions convert over 35 acres of open space into 143 new homes. These homes forever alter the identity of one of King County’s last rural communities.
By using a pilot program of homeowner managed large onsite septic systems (LOSS) developers have clustered these 4-5 bedroom homes onto tiny lots. The developments are a sharp departure from the rural character of Fall City.
Of largest concern is risks to groundwater quality and the erosion of rural character.
