In land area, that is 0.79 sq mi Very High, out of 1.89 sq mi. Its High and Very High share of 41.5% is 23.4 points below the 64.9% of Nevada County. Among 14 places in the county it ranks 13 for exposure; Kingvale ranks first at 100.0%. The state has not evaluated Washington for liquefaction or landslides, so the absence of a seismic hazard zone proves nothing.
Zones differ from street to street: check the address above. In Nevada County overall, 52.1% of the land is Very High.
No fire perimeter since 1950 touches Washington in the state record. Small fires are often missing from it.
