As part of the rezone plan, the county assembled workgroups to discuss potential options to comply with the GMA ruling. Landowners are generally disgruntled by past moves made by county and environmentalists; environmentalists don't seem terribly concerned with other people's nest egg.
The workgroup report out is a worthwhile read for the well informed on this issue. It is good to see landowners are stepping up. Having watched this progress for a while now, many in the Olympia area don’t have a problem devaluing someone’s property by 100k-900k to make themselves feel like they are protecting something.
Why the hell not? They didn't pay anything for it and aren't stuck with the tax bill twice a year.

I'm glad to see something on this on the internet. Even though there were a lot of people that showed up for the CAO hearings and the DOWNZONING workshops, I have found that most don't have much of an interest in getting more involved.
