• Tolt River Sediment Management Feasibility Study - A study to evaluate sediment management alternatives, including sediment removal and levee setbacks, to determine which alternative is a feasible and effective flood risk reduction tool for the lower Tolt River.
• Upper Snoqualmie Valley or River Residential Flood Mitigation - A project partnership with the cities of Snoqualmie and North Bend to take a comprehensive approach to identifying and prioritizing the flood mitigation needs in the upper valley.

Cedar/Sammamish Basin projects

• Herzman Levee Setback and Trail Stabilization Project - A project to provide flood and erosion risk prevention along a stretch of the Cedar River about four miles east of Renton.
• Jan Road Neighborhood Improvements - This project is intended to protect residents, their property, and critical public infrastructure from flood and erosion risks along a stretch of the Cedar River approximately two miles north of Maple Valley. 
• Maplewood Landslide and Flood Risk Reduction Feasibility Study - A project in the Maplewood neighborhood in Renton to analyze flood and landslide hazards and their potential interaction.
• Rainbow Bend Levee Removal and Floodplain Reconnection Project - A three-phase, high priority flood hazard management project completed in 2012 to eliminate flood risks to residents and provide long term protection to a major regional transportation corridor.
• Riverbend Mobile Home & RV Park Acquisition - An ongoing, long-term project to protect public safety from the risk of river channel migration.
• Sammamish River Bank Repairs - A bank repair project at two locations along the Sammamish River in Bothell.
• Willowmoor Floodplain Restoration Project - The project will alter the transition zone between the Sammamish River and Lake Sammamish in King County's Marymoor Park to improve natural complexity and habitat value while addressing maintenance costs and sustainable flood control.

Green River Basin projects

• Black River Pump Station Improvements - Ongoing work to maintain and improve the pump stations that serves 24.8 square miles of the lower Green River basin.
• Briscoe-Desimone Levee Improvement Project - With funding from the King County Flood Control District, this City of Kent project seeks to reduce flood risks by installing a secondary flood protection wall behind the levee in four reaches of the river.
