Sammamish Plateau Diversion
The Sammamish Plateau Diversion Project will build new wastewater infrastructure to serve the growing East Lake Sammamish area.
Project description
The project includes new underground pipes in the East Lake Sammamish area and upgrades to the York Pump Station near Redmond.
This project will help WTD to expand its services and meet future wastewater needs.
Project update
September 16 2025
The Sammamish Plateau Diversion Project team is continuing to conduct research as we look at options for new wastewater infrastructure in the east Lake Sammamish area. You may have seen crews earlier this summer as they surveyed the right-of-way (ROW) in the east Lake Sammamish area and just north of the lake in Redmond. This work helps us better understand the area and informs project options.
We anticipate more ROW survey work to happen in the east Lake Sammamish area this fall. As soon as work is scheduled, we will share more information. For the latest details and updates, please visit this project website and subscribe to project updates via text or email.

We want to hear from you - please take our short survey!
King County’s project team wants to get to know you and your community better. By understanding your needs, we can serve you more effectively during the design and construction phases of this project. Please share your feedback with us by completing this survey. We expect that this survey will take about 10 minutes to complete.
We have two different surveys: one for community members and one for local businesses. If you are both a community member and a local business owner in the project area along East Lake Sammamish Parkway Northeast, please fill out both surveys.
