Shoreline Planning

Comment Form

Shoreline planning is required in the State of Washington to encourage water dependent uses, protect ecological resources and promote public access.  Shorelines are important for many reasons; our challenge is to plan for our shorelines in a way that meets the objectives of the Shoreline Management Act in a balanced way.

• On January 4, 2010, staff from Community Development and Planning briefed the Planning Commission on the shoreline update.  View the Shoreline Powerpoint Presentation.
• Visit Thurston Regional Planning Council's website for more information about the Shoreline Master Program.
