Curtis Wharf Shore Power and Pump Out
File: SDP-2025-0001
Applicant/Owner: Kevin Anderson / Port of Anacortes
Location: 1108 2nd Street – Curtis Wharf
Description: The Port of Anacortes has applied for a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit to install a mobile shore power system and commercial blackwater pump out system at Curtis Wharf. Connection to a shore power system while at berth will allow vessels to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, diesel particulate matter, and noise impacts to near-port communities. A commercial pump out facility permits vessels to discharge directly to the sanitary sewer system instead of either discharging black water at sea or a diesel-powered marine vacuum service to empty their blackwater tanks. This project will not change or expand the current uses of Curtis Wharf.
Decision: Click “Public Notices” and search for file number: SDP-2025-0001. https://ci-anacortes-wa.smartgovcommunity.com/Public/Home

Bothell Senior Living – HOT
Applicant: SP Martha Real Company, LLC; Attn: Jordan Winters 1220 20th Street Southeast, Suite 310 Salem, OR, 97302
Aquatics ID 140753
Location: 2501 Maltby Road, Bothell, Snohomish County, Section 20, Township 27 N., Range 5 E., within Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 8 Cedar-Sammamish.
Scope: proposes a phased development of a combined facility (independent living, assisted living, and memory care) with 179 units, and associated parking lots and an access road that covers 145,521 ft 2 . The building and access road will be located in the central portion of the site, which will directly impact or encroach into buffers of Wetlands A, C, X; and Streams 1 and 2. This will result in direct wetland impacts of 15,708 ft 2 , and direct stream impacts of 5,245 ft 2 . Encroachment of buffer areas for Wetlands A and B; and Streams 1 and 2 will result in indirect wetland impacts from buffer loss of 159,055 ft 2 . On-site compensatory mitigation for wetland impacts consists of 27,720 ft 2 of wetland creation, and the stream impacts will be mitigated through 13,463 ft 2 of stream relocation and enhancement. The remaining wetland impacts will be compensated off-site by purchase of 1.867 credits from the Keller Farm mitigation bank

WDFW Island Unit Estuary Restoration – HOT
Applicant: Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife
Aquatics ID 143876
Location: Lower Skagit River delta near Conway, Skagit County
Description: The project has two phases and proposes to accomplish the following goals:
* Restore natural estuarine processes, including the movement of water, sediment, wood, detritus, and organisms
* Create high-quality rearing habitat for ESA-listed Chinook, other salmon, and other estuarine-dependent fish and wildlife
* Establish native vegetative communities
* Incorporate features necessary to protect off-site adjacent dikes, buildings, drainage, and to support recreational uses of the site
Phase 1 will temporarily repair two tidegates to allow for the isolation and dewatering necessary for phase 2. Approximately 130 linear feet of sheet pile will be installed, with pipes fitted with flap gates positioned within the sheet pile.
Phase 2 will permanently remove or lower dikes, levees, and tidegates, excavate tidal channels, and construct low-angle landings, fords, and recreational mounds for waterfowl hunters and boaters. A total of 3.7 miles of dikes will be fully removed, while 1.2 miles of dikes will be partially removed, and 0.5 mile of dike will be left in place. The project design features a total of approximately 38,000 linear ft of primary tidal channels with 33 outlets and 27,000 linear ft of tributary tidal channels.

Aquatics ID 145110; NWS 2025-310
Location: East of 16120 Peterson Road, Burlington, Skagit County
Description: The proposed Watershed Business Park – Project 1 is a self-contained development comprised of eight pad-ready light industrial lots for future development.
