EasementsAn easement allows one party the right to use another party's land for a specific purpose. Common easements are for storm drainage pipes and ditches, for walkways, and for access roads. Easements are also granted to public utility companies to run lines on or under private property. King County also enters into various types of easements with private parties, for example, avigation (airplane flight path) or conservation easements.
