Summit Place in King County

Smart Growth, Sustainable Development and Transportation Solutions

Overview

The Summit Place property is a unique piece of unincorporated property that is surrounded by the City of Maple Valley but owned outright by King County. Commonly referred to as “Summit Place” or “the Donut Hole,” the 156-acre site is home to a gravel pit and County vehicle-maintenance shops.

YarrowBay has committed to working closely with the local community to develop a plan that is sensitive to the surrounding neighborhood and communities. YarrowBay has already begun to poll key stakeholders in the community to get a sense of both concerns and opportunities, and transportation and traffic congestion have been mentioned as top concerns.

By working hand in hand with the community, YarrowBay hopes to transform the Summit Place property into a sustainable green space with vibrant housing and retail that the whole community can be proud of. YarrowBay’s vision for the property features significant natural areas and park space, as well as a range of housing that includes both single-family homes and much-needed housing for those just beginning their professional lives, such as teachers, retail workers, pubic employees and business professionals.
