Emergencies that shaped recovery needs near Algona

Since 1964, King County has been named in 33 FEMA declarations; flooding (17 declarations) and severe storms (11 declarations) lead the list. Pacific has its own page, and its county, Pierce County, lists 24 federal declarations, which helps when a project spans both.

The most recent is Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (major disaster declaration, DR-4906), declared April 7, 2026, with the incident beginning December 5, 2025. Floodwater can contaminate kitchen equipment and force closures until cleanup and inspection are finished, which is when replacement cooking, dishwashing and cold storage matter. By incident type, the count is flooding 17, severe storms 11, earthquake 2, wildfire 1 and coastal storm 1. By decade: 1960s 2, 1970s 4, 1980s 3, 1990s 8, 2000s 8, 2010s 3 and 2020s 5. Before that came Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (EM-3629, December 12, 2025), Severe Winter Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4775, April 28, 2024), Bolt Creek Fire (FM-5455, September 10, 2022), Severe Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4539, April 23, 2020) and Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, Landslides, Mudslides (DR-4309, April 21, 2017).

Between 2016 and 2025 the Storm Events Database recorded 2 county-based event records in King County, with flood events the most common at 2. NOAA's largest reported property loss there is $474,000, from a flood in January 2021. Flooding fouls kitchen equipment and drainage first, and a kitchen cannot reopen until it has been cleaned and inspected.

Since 2016, NIFC perimeter data lists 2 large wildfires beginning in King County, about 16,739 acres in all. Bolt Creek (2022, 14,821 acres) was the largest. After a fire, inspections, smoke cleanup and power restoration decide when a kitchen reopens, and the meals have to come from somewhere in between.

FEMA declarations apply to designated areas and do not say which individual buildings were affected.

Construction projects and crew meals near Algona

USASpending.gov lists 100 or more federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more with work in King County since October 2021. In October 2024, the Department of Defense awarded a $337 million contract for “Howard A. Hanson Dam Additional Water Storage Project (Awsp) Fish Passage Facility (FPF) Idac” in King County, with work running to December 2031 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $174 million Department of Homeland Security contract, “Acceptance of Contractor Proposal for Base Seattle Cercla/Psc Homeport Phase 1b Project,” starting September 2026 in King County (award record). The Department of Defense committed $153 million to “Construction of Mud Mountain Dam Fish Passage Facility in Buckley, WA” in King County, awarded March 2018 (award record). Another public record is “Construction of Tahoma National Cemetery Phase 3 Development,” a $79 million Department of Veterans Affairs contract from October 2024 in King County (award record). Crews on projects like this rarely have a restaurant nearby, which is the case for cooking on site with a rented kitchen and a dishwashing trailer. A project in Auburn, about 85,513 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.

Renovation projects that close kitchens in Algona

No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for King County. The nearest is in Snohomish County, about 39 miles away. The Department of Defense committed $7.8 million to “Replace Harlow Fars- Nse” in Snohomish County, awarded November 2023 (award record). Another public record is “X003 Repair Electric Distribution Service SW-6, Everett,” a $4.4 million Department of Defense contract from January 2023 in Snohomish County (award record). Renovations like this are the usual reason an institution leases a mobile kitchen, because the permanent one cannot run while the work is under way. The closure date drives the plan in Milton too.
