How can the public stay involved during the SMP update process?
Planning Commission meetings occur on a monthly basis and Commission members welcome public input during these meetings. In addition, a citizen may provide written comment at any time. Also, in addition to this section of the website, there are a variety of other ways to learn more about the project and provide comment. To date, the city has held a boat tour of Lake Washington, conducted a public opinion phone survey, held focus groups with residential property owners and marina and construction industry representatives, and held several informational open houses. At the Shorelines blog we encourage discussion amongst citizens and others interested in shoreline management. You are also encouraged to contact staff directly to learn more.
