Facet worked with the City of Stevenson to improve public shoreline access through community engagement, GIS analysis, and project ranking. The team assessed site constraints, developed conceptual alternatives, and created cost estimates to guide decision-making and support a city-wide improvement plan.

Facet is the prime consultant for the planning and design of a new waterfront park in Lake Forest Park, transforming former residential properties into a vibrant community space. The site includes the lower segment and mouth of Lyon Creek, a salmon-bearing stream, along with significant trees and wetlands.

Facet assisted the City of Sammamish with an update to their critical areas regulations to comply with the Washington State Growth Management Act and the Endangered Species Act. As part of this update, Facet provided an in-depth review of “best available science” pertaining to all five critical area types, including wetlands and fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas.

Facet supported Kitsap County with the periodic update of its comprehensive plan. Facet was the prime consultant for the effort, with five subconsultant firms also providing support. In addition to the update of the comprehensive plan, the project included amendments to development regulations, including the Critical Areas Ordinance Update (CAO). To inform the CAO update, Facet began by preparing a Best Available Science Report, which included specific content related to the potential effects of climate change on critical areas.

Facet developed an advance wetland and stream buffer mitigation strategy to improve efficiency of design and permitting for City of Kirkland projects. This approach is superior to the traditional design where each impact has a stand-alone mitigation effort that is designed, permitted, constructed, maintained and monitored on a project-by-project basis.

Facet was on a project team to help the City of Kenmore develop two waterfront parks from master plan to bid on Lake Washington. Log Boom Park includes a new public beach and boat storage building. Squire's Landing Park includes a parking lot, restroom, boardwalks, boat launch, floating dock, and picnic pavilion structure. The consultant teams designed boardwalks, a parking lot, trails, water service, sewer conveyance, stormwater treatment, grading, and paving.

Facet provided all-inclusive environmental review and permitting services to the City of Gig Harbor for the development of Ancich Waterfront Park. Design included stabilizing shoreline with new vegetative slope protection, a concrete bulkhead with shoreline access, re-grading and hardscaping two wetlands, and the replacement of two pier

Since 2022, Facet has been conducting a comprehensive, multi-phase Sea Level Rise (SLR) Vulnerability and Risk Assessment for Pacific County.
Facet's team, including GIS specialists, environmental planners, and a hydrogeologist, is evaluating the impacts of SLR on critical above-ground and subsurface critical infrastructure, residences and structures, groundwater and freshwater flooding. The assessment covers key areas such as the Long Beach Peninsula, Ilwaco, Tokeland, and Naselle.

Facet worked with Bellevue School District to support conversion of their rotational school site into the permanent campus for the Spanish emersion school, Puesta del Sol Elementary.
