Kate Ryan announced on the Feb. 19 This Week in Kirkland podcast that the city has posted its draft 2026 stormwater management program plan and is inviting community review and feedback.
"The city has posted its 2026 draft stormwater management program plan and is inviting community members to review and submit comments or suggestions," Ryan said, noting the plan outlines potential actions to reduce stormwater pollution.
Ryan said stormwater pollution is a leading cause of contamination in Kirkland’s creeks, lakes and wetlands and that everyday activities—driving, yard care, pet waste, car washing and land development—can introduce pollutants. The draft plan presents possible measures to reduce runoff and protect local water bodies.
Residents were asked to submit comments by Feb. 28; Ryan directed listeners to the city website for the full draft and submission instructions. The podcast did not specify the exact list of proposed measures or a formal adoption timeline; those details are available in the posted draft.
