Planning and Development Services Introduces Enhanced Interactive Web Maps

Snohomish County Planning and Development Services has rolled out a series of enhancements to its interactive web maps, marking a significant improvement in both performance and user functionality. The newly upgraded PDS Map Portal integrates several previously standalone tools, including the retirement of older resources like the Zoning Map Viewer, which has been replaced by more dynamic solutions. A key feature of the upgrade is the Historical Imagery Viewer, designed to provide users with a comprehensive view of historical satellite imagery. This initiative underscores the department's commitment to improving transparency and accessibility for residents and stakeholders involved in local development and permit processes. By streamlining access to critical information about active projects and permits, the county aims to foster greater community engagement.

These upgrades not only enhance user experience but also empower residents to make informed decisions based on reliable data. The enhancements reflect a progressive approach to utilizing technology in public service. Overall, these improvements signify a step forward in Snohomish County's efforts to provide effective and efficient planning and development resources.
