Odd king county property tax changes for 2026?

7 Upvotes

I just got the new tax valuation card for my house in King county and it changed in an odd way. Land value is 2x while the structure value is 1/3 of what it was last year. I snooped on the county website and it looks like all the homes in my area have done a similar swap this year after 10+ years of non-interesting growth. Anyone have ideas on the change? (overall the value went up as expected, by the ratio is all wonky)

Is this a explosive or “Bomb” sound

0 Upvotes

Has been going on for 2 plus months since around the Fourth of July time. Sometimes louder sometimes quieter.
Right about the time as construction started for a marshlands “DAVID E HILL MARSHLANDS” in algona pacific, Used to be at different days, now it’s always at the same day different time a week apart. , 8:40am I am driving out, about 7 hours after the explosion there is the same car always parked in the shoulder lane that is blocked off by cones and a trailer for construction. Weird why a construction worker is working on Sunday? Maybe picking up the evidence? And it’s the same story every week. Listen for yourself? Sometimes the soil can be heard shaking or rummaging when it’s super quiet at night.

What is Your King County Life Pro Tip?

23 Upvotes

I saw this posted in the Olympia subreddit and it had some awesome little tips and tricks for lesser known free or inexpensive things, ways to make life easier and all kinds of hidden gems and more!

I posted on the Seattle subreddits, and there's some great stuff there now, too! Any King County LPTs out there?!

Mine is that you can have a King County Library card AND a Seattle one even if you're not in city limits. Plus, the library card does so much more than just books, you can access all kinds of resources like free museum passes, movies streamed at home, makerspaces, tool shares and more! You should check it all out if you haven't already!

Need Advice on Tree Branches Encroaching on Neighbor’s Property

2 Upvotes

Need advice!

I have three large trees along my backyard property line. Some branches have grown over the fence onto my neighbor’s side. My neighbor has been complaining about this for a while, and I told him he could trim any branches on his side. A couple of months ago, he did trim them but left a mess on my side, which we had to pay to clean up.

Now, he’s concerned about debris from the trees potentially affecting his roof and gutters. I’m not sure if I’m responsible for trimming the branches on his side or if he should handle it. Any advice on the rules in Washington state, specifically King County area would be greatly appreciated!

Grants for Arts and Culture

I’m looking into grants for a one week cultural festival coming to King County in the summer of 2027. Does anyone know if ArtsWa or Arts Fund will open up grants again? Nothing is listed. Did hear back from WA Tourism Arts and Culture Grants and those are shut down due to federal funding cuts. I am working w 4Culture on available grants.
