Selective clearing for the new Mori Estates subdivision is anticipated to begin on November 3, 2025, following the City of North Bend’s issuance of a Clearing and Grading Permit.
The development, formerly referred to as the Ichijo subdivision, is planned just north of SE 140th Street near the eastern city limits.
Mori Estates will consist of 40 lots, several privately maintained parks and a protected forested area along the south side of the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River. As part of the project, the developer will build a sidewalk along the south property frontage on SE 140th Street, and include interior sidewalks throughout the neighborhood.
Once home construction is complete, the subdivision will connect to surrounding streets in three locations:
- South to SE 140th Street
- West to SE 16th Street
- West to SE 137th Street
Large trucks will access the site from SE 140th Street. Only limited traffic effects are expected at this stage, though residents nearby should anticipate construction noise during permitted working hours: 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on some Saturdays, in accordance with North Bend Municipal Code 8.26.115. No work is allowed on Sundays or government holidays.
Clearing is expected to conclude by the end of December, followed by grading, which will depend on weather conditions and is expected to extend through summer 2026.

That really sucks. Not only for traffic on 140th, the water issues, and that it will push the wildlife (bobcats, cougars, bear , elk, deer) into our neighborhoods. All because all the city cares about is the money.
