The Shorelines Element of the Comprehensive Plan is guided by Washington State’s Shoreline Management Act (SMA) of 1971, which aims to preserve and manage the state’s valuable shorelines while accommodating appropriate development. The City of Snoqualmie’s Shoreline Master Program (SMP) reflects this balance by establishing policies, goals, and regulations that are specifically tailored to protect and enhance Snoqualmie’s unique shoreline resources—namely, the Snoqualmie River, Kimball Creek, Borst Lake (Mill Pond), and their associated floodplains and wetlands.
