Beginning in spring 2009, the King County Council Physical Environment Committee will review the Executive Recommended amendments.  Final adoption of the amendments is expected later this year.

Proposed update of the Shoreline Master Program

The proposed update of the Shoreline Master Program, which was circulated for public comment to be included as part of the 2009 King County Comprehensive Plan update, was not included in the March 2, 2009 transmittal of the Executive Recommended 2009 update of the King County Comprehensive Plan to the King County Council.

The Executive Recommended Shoreline Master Program was transmitted on Nov. 5, 2009 to the King County Council for consideration.  Please see the Executive Recommended King County Shoreline Master Program for updated information.
