SEPA and NEPA

Environmental review, particularly under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), is often a critical step in the land-use process. Our land use attorneys regularly advise, negotiate, and litigate matters involving SEPA mitigation and other aspects of environmental review for projects of all types and sizes. We present concise and complete records for state and local agency decision-makers, prepare complete and often complex development agreements, and, when necessary vigorously challenge and defend Environmental Impact Statements and other SEPA documents before hearing examiners, superior courts, and Washington’s courts of appeals.
