Small Communities Cohort Program
Maple Valley
Vulnerability Assessment and Action Plan
The City of Maple Valley, located in east King County, is a rapidly growing town of approximately 28,000 people. Maple Valley adopted their first Climate Action and Resiliency Plan in June 2025. The plan includes policies to identify and address climate vulnerabilities, review and implement regional resiliency plans, and plan protections for wildlife corridors and urban trees/native forests. Climate concerns in Maple Valley include extreme precipitation, extreme heat, and an increased risk of wildfire and wildfire smoke impacts.
The Small Community Cohort Program Project
Through participation in the Small Communities Cohort, Maple Valley is working with the Collaborative to conduct a city-specific climate vulnerability assessment and develop actionable plans for high priority climate vulnerabilities. Deliverables and outcomes from this project will help Maple Valley identify and address climate change related hazards and prioritize where limited funds should be spent to best support climate risk reduction for the Maple Valley community.
Project Goals
01
Conduct a vulnerability assessment specific to Maple Valley.
02
Provide actionable plans for high priority vulnerabilities that identify key impacts, adaptation actions, and opportunities for collaboration.
