Shorelines from the Middle and South Fork Snoqualmie River make up a special part of our community, and on Wednesday, September 25, we invite you to join city staff and project partners for an Open House to discuss the new North Bend Shoreline Public Access and Trail Plan! View the public notice for the Open House here.
The Shoreline Public Access and Trail Plan is a project that, once complete, will share a cohesive network of access points and trails, with the goal of enhancing recreation opportunities for residents and visitors. The Open House will be located at the North Bend City Hall, starting at 5:30 p.m.
If you have not had a chance yet, please consider taking a brief survey to share your feedback on shoreline access and use within the City of North Bend. Your feedback will help provide input for the Plan.
This project is a result of a Shoreline Public Access and Trail Plan Project grant by the Department of Ecology. The grant works to support planning and planning related efforts that advance climate resilience, improve the implementation of Shoreline Master Program (SMP), and support local shoreline planning priorities. To learn more about this project and the shoreline, visit the SMP webpage. When complete, it will provide improved communication in the area of shoreline jurisdiction, as regulated under NBMC 14.20.
To view a map of shoreline jurisdiction which includes the Middle and South Fork Snoqualmie River throughout city limits, areas 200 feet landward, associated wetlands, floodways and 200 feet of floodplain contiguous with floodways, visit the Shoreline Jurisdiction and Environment Designation Map.
