Wild Waves property can now be used for manufacturing
The city says the change would not require an environmental impact statement, and comments are due before the determination becomes final.
- Federal Way officials opened a public comment period on a proposed amendment to the Concomitant Development Agreement for the Wild Waves property, which would allow manufacturing as a primary use.
- The theme and water park officially closed its doors on Nov. 1 because former operator Jeff Stock said the site was no longer financially viable; the current CDA was adopted for a 30-year term.
- Federal Way Community Development Director Keith Niven determined on Oct. 30 that the amendment lacks a "probable significant adverse impact" on the environment, according to an Environmental Checklist completed by planner Stacey Welsh.
- A separate application for the Podium I-5 project includes constructing a 1 million sq. industrial shell building for warehouse and office use; the CDA amendment is distinct from this separate review.
- Comments can be submitted to the Department of Community Development by Nov. 13, 2026, or appeals may be filed by Dec. 1 with specific factual objections required for any challenge.
