• Protects timber and ag lands, clean water, and scenic values.
• Promotes local farmers and the food they produce.
• Benefits the salmon and other wildlife.
• Reduces traffic, commute times, and greenhouse gas emissions from cars.
• Plans for housing opportunities close to work, school, and parks.
