  The Seattle Times: Local News: Valley left neither high nor dry in county flood plan
That's because the cost of keeping the valley dry — both in dollars and in environmental damage — would be too high for a lightly populated area zoned mostly for agriculture, authors of the 2006 Flood Hazard Management Plan say.
County road crews this week completed emergency repairs to levees that were overtopped by high water on the South and Middle forks of the Snoqualmie River just outside North Bend.
The general outline of the county flood plan — use levees to channel rivers only where there are significant numbers of homes or businesses — is widely accepted.

 Wet/Dry FAQ   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
A county can also be "wet" or "dry" for sales in different establishments (e.g., retailers that can sell alcohol for off-premise consumption, such as grocery stores, convenience stores, and package stores or retailers that can sell alcohol for on-premise consumption, such as restaurants and bars).
The local city clerk (if in an incorporated area) or county clerk (in an unincorporated area) should be able to provide you that information for general areas and for specific properties.
Package stores may ship wine to consumers who live in "dry" areas as long as the delivery is made by a carrier permit holder and the package is clearly labeled as requiring the signature of a person 21 years of age or older for delivery.
