San Juan County's streams and wetlands are important to the overall health of our environment. Property owners with these unique features have special considerations in the development of their lands.

Many species are dependent upon the healthy functioning of these aquatic resources for breeding nurseries, feeding grounds and general habitat needs. The manner in which we develop our land can have direct impacts on our individual property as well as those properties downstream.

The county has specific requirements for parcels containing freshwater streams and wetlands. Please consult with the County and Conservation District when planning development projects on your land.

• San Juan County's parcel search provides basic information and aerial views of your property.
• The Washington Department of Ecology's Coastal Atlas offers aerial views of coastline properties and GIS information about vegetation and habitat, slope stability and a variety of other physical and ecological features.
