The Nature Conservancy, in partnership with local governments, and state and federal agencies is planning a “Floodplains by Design” workshop for Wednesday, October 2, 2013 at the Edmonds Conference Center from 9:00 to 3:00. Those involved in floodplains management in the region are invited to attend.
