A reminder that the county will be holding Open Houses in February at various locations on Whidbey and Camano Islands on the Comprehensive Plan.

This is early in the planning process and a perfect opportunity to learn more about how water availability, aquifer recharge, saltwater intrusion and watershed management and other water systems topics fit into the planning process, and for you to provide input to county staff. You may also provide input online.

See the county’s flyer for details on the Open House dates and locations. Also visit Island County’s Comprehensive Plan 2045 homepage for the latest updates throughout the planning cycle.
