Washington State Parks completed Part II of its long-range planning effort for Fort Worden State Park in September 2008.
The effort culminated with Commission adoption of three planning documents:
- Fort Worden Site and Facilities Use and Development Plan;
- Fort Worden Business and Operations Implementation Plan; and
- Fort Worden Guidelines for Rehabilitation.
Stage One – Identify issues and concerns
The purpose of this stage is to understand what is important to the park community, what to change or save
in the state park. This helps get a sense of the range and type of issues that need to be considered through
the planning process.
Stage Two – Exploring alternative approaches
At this stage, the planning team suggests potential alternative approaches to address the various issues and
concerns raised in stage one.
Stage Three – Preparing preliminary recommendations
The best ideas from the alternative approaches developed in stage two are combined into a preliminary plan
in this stage. Another important document completed at this stage
is the SEPA checklist that describes environmental impacts of the recommendations (available for public review
upon request).
Stage Four – Preparing final recommendations
At stage four, final adjustments are made to recommendations and submitted to the seven-member Parks and
Recreation Commission for approval. The public is encouraged to attend the Commission meeting and provide
testimony or to provide written comment.
