Shoreline Master Programs amendments

Track the progress of county and city Shoreline Master Program (SMP) amendments and find out how you can get involved by reviewing the list of active SMPs.

Under the state Shoreline Management Act, cities and counties are required to periodically review their land-use policies and regulations governing shoreline uses within their jurisdiction. These locally-tailored SMPs are adopted and approved by each local government, as well as Ecology.

Please choose the first letter of the town, city, or county for which you are searching:
