Pacific remodels — White River flood permit beside the building desk
Pacific sits on the White River valley floor between Auburn and Algona, mostly in King County with a Pierce portion. City Flood Control chapter 23.40 requires a floodplain development permit for development in special flood hazard areas — structures, fill, and related site work — alongside ordinary building, mechanical, and plumbing permits. This Board of Project Stewardship hub keeps compact-lot kitchen, bath, and addition questions honest to that White River flood track — educational only.

Compact-lot kitchens beside White River flood review
Smaller-lot suburban and older valley kitchens in Pacific remodel under the city’s Building Department — not Auburn’s. Wall moves need city permits; mapped SFHA parcels may also need floodplain development permit clearance before cabinet layout freezes around a raised or flood-aware floor. Educational — not a price list.
Bath remodels when Pacific stacks flood and plumbing permits
Waterproofing leads on valley wet rooms. Plumbing is city-issued; electrical stays with WA L&I. Flood Control chapter 23.40 can add elevation documentation when the bath sits in SFHA. Confirm Pacific — not Algona — before demo.

Pacific additions on White River SFHA and cross-county edge lots
Compact-lot additions still meet Pacific zoning plus floodplain development rules when mapped. Floodway work can require no-rise engineering. Sequence flood and building tracks together; the Board does not invent White River map yields or Pierce/King shortcuts.
