guidance on implementing Chapter 36.70B RCW <https://links-2.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fapp.leg.wa.gov%2Frcw%2Fdefault.aspx%3Fcite=36.70B/1/010101994e2e9007-52c4fbcc-9f51-443d-b961-0cdef6c4fba8
-000000/JCK4oXsTJ40Xl2X1-7F38yf6eOIZ4d0CyEdEd5p4hqc=422> , Washington’s framework for local government project review.
The guidebook reflects the most significant reforms to local project review in three decades, including recent legislative changes (Chapter 338, Laws of 2023 (SB 5290)) <https://links-2.govdelivery.c
om/CL0/https:%2F%2Fapp.leg.wa.gov%2Fbillsummary%3FBillNumber=5290%26Year=2023/1/010101994e2e9007-52c4fbcc-9f51-443d-b961-0cdef6c4fba8-000000/L80YyD4ApRal7ElUvEEmSDJQpOfwe7A6Ki9uvHeP0WE=422>
to streamline permitting, improve predictability, and support housing production statewide. Organized for ease of use, it covers application procedures, review timelines, public participation,
appeals, administration, and development agreements, while also highlighting best practices drawn from jurisdictions across Washington.
Designed for local government staff, planners, and permit reviewers, this guidebook serves as both a statutory reference and a practical handbook to help jurisdictions update and improve
their permitting processes.

MRSC Webinar: Tools for Boosting Community Resilience to Climate Impacts
<https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/WADOC/2025/06/11804404/mrsc_original.png>
As climate-related impacts like wildfires and extreme heat intensify across Washington, how can communities prepare and adapt? The Municipal Research and Services Center of Washington
will present a workshop at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 9, to share real-world case studies and effective tools for boosting community resilience. Experts from Gonzaga University, Spokane,
King County, Issaquah, and Commerce will share how local governments, in partnership with universities and nonprofits, are implementing solutions like cooling centers, heat pumps and
green infrastructure. You’ll also hear about a state technical assistance program that helps communities identify energy resilience solutions and apply to potential funding sources.
