Regarding the environmental remediation needs of this property, the City is engaging with the Center for Creative Land Recycling and the Washington State Department of Ecology. However, more work is needed to ensure that 302 W North Bend Way’s environmental conditions are suitable for redevelopment while also protecting the nearby Snoqualmie River and our community.
