King County Neighborhood is a location that appears in AMC's The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead.

Pre-Apocalypse

This is the neighborhood where residents Rick Grimes, Lori Grimes, and Carl Grimes lived before the outbreak. Shane Walsh resided there and worked at King County Sheriff's Department along with Rick, Leon Basset, and Lambert Kendal. Fred and Cindy Drake were Rick's neighbors. Paula and her husband Tom also lived in the neighborhood.

Post-Apocalypse

Season 1

"Days Gone Bye"

Rick arrives in his neighborhood after finding an abandoned bicycle and a desiccated corpse of a still-living zombie woman. He finds his house with the front door open and rushes inside, but does not find his family. Instead, the house is empty and missing his photo albums, giving him a shimmer of hope. Rick finds Morgan Jones and his son Duane living in his neighbor Fred's house. Morgan looks after Rick in Fred's house and treats his wounds. Rick takes Duane and Morgan to his Sheriff's Department to give them some guns and ammo to look after themselves. Rick then leaves his neighborhood.

Season 3

"Clear"

While Rick and Michonne are busy packing as much as many guns and ammunition in Morgan's lair. Carl saw a hand drawn map made by Morgan, where their home was proclaimed "burnt out".

Season 6

"Here's Not Here"

Rick's neighborhood is once again shown as burnt out on Morgan's map in a flashback.

Fear the Walking Dead: Season 8

"King County"

Morgan returns to the neighborhood over a decade after leaving King County in order to finally put Duane to rest which is shown to still be intact, although partially reclaimed by nature. He is followed by Grace and Mo as well as Dwight and Sherry who are reluctantly hunting him for Shrike. The conflict results in the Drake Family Home being burned down. However, Morgan finds a zombified Duane chained up in the attic and finally puts him down with the gun that Rick Grimes had given him before they parted ways the first time.

Trivia

  • Despite the fact that the neighborhood is marked as "Burned Out" in "Clear", Morgan Jones returns to it in "King County", suggesting that the map was falsely marked or parts of the neighborhood remain intact.
    • In "King County", the neighborhood is shown to be intact, suggesting that in his deranged state, Morgan blocked out what really happened to it. Morgan even admits that he doesn't remember returning to the house where he and Duane lived after his son's death nor much of what happened while he was insane.
