Dense verdant forests that stimulate the sense to expl ore. Pristine rivers and streams that cascade through rugged rock formations creating deep gouges in the Earth’s girth. White-capped mountain ranges of pillow clouds, giving direction to flights of migratory birds. Returning runs of salmon navigating waterways to complete their life-cycle. Female salmon creating nests in gravel-bedded streams and rivers preparing for the next generation of salmon. Estuaries that provide quiet and calm waters for many species of wildlife. Basalt and mica beaches created by endless pounding of surf creating a kaleidoscope of color from the sun’s rays. Towering evergreens that dwarf the presence of plant life on the forest floor. These breathtaking landscapes reflect the contrast of the desert plains of Eastern Washington, where on a winter morning, a sheet of snow blankets the sage-spotted desert. Neighboring oceans of winter wheat wave in a cold Canadian breeze. The mystery of scab-lands that create a moonscape on the Eastern Washington desert. The presence of large conglomerates, a lasting memory of the Missoula ice dam. Deep cut basalt gouges wind their way carrying their water to lakes and reservoirs relieving the thirst of the soil to provide vegetation and food for human consumption. These are the reflections of a land that moves the spirit within to hopefully reclaim the appreciations of nature which was lost and yet can be renewed If…We…Act.

Due to the foresight of many individuals, this process became a partnership in which jurisdictional politics were set aside so that true land use planning based on the ecosystem rather than political boundaries could take place. We are grateful to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Ecology (DOE) and Puget Sound Water Quality Authority for funding this planning effort, and to Linda Storm of the EPA and Lynn Beaton (formerly of DOE) for their guidance and encouragement during the grant application process and development of the Wetland Integration Plan.

The Tulalip Tribes invoked the district court’s continuing jurisdiction as provided by a permanent injunction entered in 1974. The panel affirmed the district court’s conclusion that certain contested areas were not excluded from the Suquamish Tribe’s usual and accustomed fishing grounds and stations, as determined by the district court in 1975. * This summary constitutes no part of the opinion of the court.

  • Market Evaluation
    Metro Everett Plan – Market Evaluation Date April 2016 To Paul Popelka, City of Everett From Leland Consulting Group Introduction The City of Everett’s Planning and Community Development Department engaged Leland Consulting Group (LCG) to conduct this market evaluation as part of the Everett Metro Center Plan and Brownfields Assessment efforts. The focus of LCG’s analysis, and this memorandum, has been to: Estimate a 10- and 20-year forecast of residential and commercial development; Identify metrics that suggest which properties and areas are likely to redevelop; Conduct a preliminary review of the zoning code within the Metro Center, and recommend zoning modifications that could encourage development; and, Provide “big ideas” that could assist with the ongoing success of the Metro Center. Economic Development Context This Metro Center planning effort takes place within the context of several national and international economic trends. The first is the exceptional ongoing strength of the Puget Sound economy; the second is the “downtown rebound” trend that has gained momentum in recent decades. Both are very beneficial to the Everett Metro Center. However, they do not guarantee success on all fronts, since the fortunes of the entire Puget Sound region do not necessarily translate directly to development in central Everett. One excellent source for national and regional perspective on current real estate trends is the Urban Land Institute’s (ULI) annual Emerging Trends in Real Estate report. The 2016 report ranks the Seattle region as number four for development and investment prospects among 75 metropolitan markets nationwide—above San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York.

Permit requirements are based on Section 402(p) of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. § 1342(p), and EPA’s Phase II regulations for MS4 discharges, published in the Federal Register on December 8, 1999, 64 Fed.

  • Section 1 Introduction Page 1-1 EVERETT SHORELINE MASTER PROGRAM
    Section 1 Introduction EVERETT SHORELINE MASTER PROGRAM 1.1 Community Vision Growth and Change. As Everett grows, change is inevitable, and the city’s shoreline areas will experience significant redevelopment. With change comes the opportunity for the community to influence the character of its shoreline areas. Everett is the job center for a rapidly growing county, and with an active port and a large number of underutilized waterfront properties, it is likely to witness a transformation of its shoreline areas. Everett will promote a balance between economic diversification, recreational opportunities, and environmental protection and restoration in its shoreline areas. Public Access. Miles of shoreline that many residents have been able to see but not touch or walk beside will become more accessible. Shoreline areas that have been home to industrial uses will be redeveloped with a variety of new activities that allow more people to enjoy views and access to the water’s edge. Other areas will continue to be used for water-dependent industries that do not allow direct public access. Population growth in the Everett area will increase the demand for water-oriented recreation. This demand will result in the City working with the Port of Everett, shoreline property owners, and other interested persons to provide additional public access improvements. Eventually, the City will complete a continuous and interconnected system of parks, trails, pedestrian walkways and bicycle paths in and between shoreline areas, including the Silver Lake area. Shoreline Development. The urbanized parts of Everett’s shoreline will experience development and redevelopment in areas where the community has invested and committed capital expenditures for transportation and utility infrastructure.
