Your Shoreline, Your Legacy: Helping You Manage Your Marine Shoreline
There are unique ecological, geological, and vegetation management challenges associated with owning property on Puget Sound. The Shore Friendly Program is here to help landowners make informed decisions to protect their property and protect Puget Sound. Workshop topics include erosion, drainage, trees and views, and shoreline living.
House Relocation as a Shore Friendly Option
In some cases, moving a home away from a shoreline hazard can be a cheaper, safer, and longer-lasting solution than an engineered approach such as a seawall or slope stabilization. Moving houses is more common than you may think! Learn more in the workshop excerpt from house mover, Jeff McCord.
