Homes in the wildland-urban interface
About 33% of Washington’s homes sit inside the wildland-urban interface — roughly 1 million of 3.2 million statewide, according to the SILVIS Lab’s 2020 dataset. The share varies sharply by county: from about 14% in Seattle’s King County to about 62% in Spokane County.
The five Washington counties with the most homes in the wildland-urban interface:
- Spokane County
- King County
- Pierce County
- Snohomish County
- Kitsap County
Being in the interface is a description of geography, not a forecast of fire — it captures how close a building sits to vegetation that can burn. These classifications change slowly; the figures here come from the SILVIS Lab’s most recent revision of the 1990–2020 dataset, released February 2025.
