Invest in Smart Growth in Snohomish County

Futurewise and Pilchuck Audubon Society are working together to raise funds for a dedicated staff person to advance smart growth policy and protect natural areas in Snohomish County. The new Snohomish County Program Manager will protect our smart growth wins in Snohomish County and advance new priorities, including:

• Maintaining an influential presence on the county’s Southwest Area Boundary Planning Study, to ensure protection of critical natural resource areas and an equitable, sustainable approach to urban growth;
• Advocating for effective Shoreline Master Plan policies and mitigation and habitat restoration along the Snohomish River to balance the impacts of rural development;
• Developing a campaign to document and correct Snohomish County’s approach to protecting critical areas by ensuring that adjacent lands without native vegetation are included in buffers; and,
• Continuing our legal challenge that aims to improve protections for people and the environment from landslide hazards in lieu of the Oso landslide.
