Urban Tree Canopy – Work with Futurewise to Bring Policy to Life
Kate Lunceford | Published on 2/3/2026
Snohomish County staff is working to implement the new urban tree policy. Futurewise is working closely with them on
planning that is underway. There are resources available to enable our county to protect heritage trees, improve surface water infrastructure, increase canopy in underserved areas, and design housing with flexibility for a livable Snohomish County.
