Highline Communities Plan: Final Environmental Impact Statement

The Highline Communities Plan (HCP) is a King County land use and zoning proposal covering the area between Puget Sound and Interstate 5, from the City of Seattle south to South 252nd Street, including Des Moines and Normandy Park. Prepared by the King County Department of Planning and Community Development and issued in draft form in April 1977, the plan was intended to guide land use policy, area zoning, capital improvements, and housing programs for the Highline Communities Planning Area. Upon adoption, it became the official county policy framework for this coastal suburban region located adjacent to what is now Sea-Tac Airport.
