Description

The Watershed Company is assisting a number of cities in the Puget Sound area, as well as Chelan County, in a major update of their Shoreline Master Programs (SMP) so that they are compliant with new state guidelines.

Watershed Company staff participated in public involvement proceedings, including panel-style presentations and field trips.
