A quorum of the Sequim City Council may be in attendance at a workshop for elected officials in Clallam and Jefferson Counties on May 9, 2018 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Lake Crescent Room, Clallam County PUD, 104 Hooker Road, Sequim, WA, 98382.

The workshop is being conducted by the Ruckelshaus Center, a joint program of Washington State University and the University of Washington. The Washington State Legislature has asked the Center to conduct a two-year project to create a “Road Map to Washington’s Future.” The purpose of the Road Map to Washington’s Future project is to articulate a vision of Washington’s desired future and identify additions, revisions, or clarifications to the state’s growth management framework of laws, institutions, and policies needed to reach that future.

The information gathered from workshops will be used to inform the Center’s recommendations about what may need to change to improve the state’s planning framework to best serve the desired future. Because there is a relationship between the state’s planning framework and local impacts/needs, it is important that recommendations be grounded in and reflect local realities, experiences, interests, and aspirations. Key findings and recommendations will be summarized in a final report to the Legislature.
