Emergency Crime Scene and Biohazard Cleanup in King City, OR

King City is a city in Washington County, Oregon, incorporated in March 1966, with its own ZIP code 97224 and an elevation of 180 feet.

The community was built by the Tualatin Development Company starting in 1964 as a planned community for adults, and its name was picked by the company, which used a royalty theme in naming the city's streets.

Build-out of the original 273 acres finished about 1978, and King City was originally developed as an age-restricted community governed by the King City Civic Association, under whose rules people under 50 could not live in the city.

The Civic Association rules were later changed to conform to the 1988 amendments to the Federal Fair Housing Act, which set the age restriction to 55 or older, and the city later expanded to include newer, non-age-restricted developments.

The 2020 census counted 5,184 residents in King City, up from 3,111 in 2010, and the city had 2,628 households, 2,734 housing units of which 3.9 percent were vacant, a median age of 59.3, and 41.8 percent of residents aged 65 or older.

King City's population grew from 1,427 in 1970 to 1,853 in 1980, 2,060 in 1990, 1,949 in 2000, 3,111 in 2010, and 5,184 in 2020.

In 2024 the City Council passed an annexation on the far west side of the King City Urban Growth Boundary, approved by 100 percent of land owners, which increased the city's land area by approximately 215 acres, and future expansion to the west is planned within the Portland Metropolitan Urban Growth Boundary.
