Snoqualmie Corridor Recreation Plan open for public comment
Published 11:16 am Friday, December 19, 2014
The Snoqualmie Corridor Recreation Plan, which covers a landscape that sees more than 800,000 outdoor enthusiast visits each year, is now open for public comment. Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) released the plan for State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review and the public is invited to submit comments until 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 19.
The planning area includes Tiger Mountain, Rattlesnake Mountain, Raging River State Forest, the state trust lands surrounding the community of Preston, and Mount Si and Middle Fork Snoqualmie natural resources conservation areas.
“The Snoqualmie corridor is a high-priority area for us due to its large size and how close it is to large numbers of people,” said DNR planner Laura Cooper. “Once the plan is in place we’ll be able to meet our conservation and trust revenue responsibilities while more effectively partnering with interest groups to provide quality outdoor recreation experiences.”
SEPA documents for review can be found on the DNR website at http://www.dnr.wa.gov. Comments should be submitted to the SEPA Center via sepacenter@dnr.wa.gov or 1111 Washington St, Box 47015, Olympia, WA 98504-7015.
