The Watershed Company has helped more than 40 local jurisdictions across Washington State update their Shoreline Master Programs (SMPs). Clients have included Benton, Chelan, Cowlitz, San Juan, Kitsap, and Skagit Counties, and the Cities of Anacortes, Kirkland, and Yakima. Ecology has approved the updated SMPs of more than a dozen of the jurisdictions we have assisted.
We have intimate familiarity with all phases of SMP development, from public participation to developing the shoreline inventory to the adoption process. Our staff recognizes that every jurisdiction is unique, and works to ensure that the SMP process and products are tailored to local conditions.
