On April 1, 2010, the North Highline area is to annexed by the City of Burien. The North Highline area is just to the north of Burien and was in unincorporated King County.
Burien will gain 1,700 acres for a total of 6,462 acres and approximately 14,100 persons for a total population of about 45,650.
The City of Burien continues its preparations to annex the North Highline "South Annexation Area" as approved by voters in August 2009. A required step is adoption of
zoning for the area. The Burien City Council soon will be looking at a proposal to convert the existing King County zoning designations to City of Burien designations.
A more formal review of these designations will occur as part of the City's scheduled planning process in 2010 and 2011.
