Planning and Permitting

Facet provides comprehensive long-range planning and project permitting services for government agencies, tribes, non-profits, and residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional clients.   Our planners combine scientific expertise, regulatory relationships, strategic organization, risk assessment, and geospatial analysis to help clients navigate complex permitting processes and tackle long-term planning challenges.

Over the years, we’ve helped more than 100 communities create sustainable, science-based regulations and plans that are both practical and effective. Whether it’s addressing Growth Management Act compliance, shoreline planning, or long-range goals, Facet’s team is here to guide you every step of the way.

From small scale residential land use permitting, to large public infrastructure projects, we bring practical, science-backed solutions to every project. We work closely with our engineers, scientists, and landscape architects to provide accurate environmental documentation, geospatial mapping, and detailed mitigation plans that meet regulatory requirements. With strong connections to agencies like the WA Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, the WA Dept. of Ecology, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, we strive to ensure projects move forward smoothly, within budget and on-schedule.
