Shoreline Master Program grants

The state Shoreline Management Act requires that counties, cities, and towns periodically review their comprehensively updated Shoreline Master Program (SMP) every eight years. The review timetable for specific local governments is established in RCW 90.58.080(4)), and the completion deadline is outlined in WAC 173-26-090. In addition, WAC 173-26-104 allows an optional joint review process that combines required local and state public comment periods.
