Burien remodels — Highline dual shorelines, mid-century updates
Burien SMP applies to roughly five miles of Puget Sound marine shoreline plus Lake Burien, including waters and areas 200 ft landward of OHWM — a dual marine + freshwater setting Eastside single-lake AHJs do not share. This Board of Project Stewardship hub covers coastal-adjacent weatherproofing and mid-century kitchen updates under City of Burien Permit Center review — airport proximity is geography, not a Board noise score.

Mid-century kitchen updates in Burien’s Highline fabric
Highline mid-century kitchens remodel under Burien’s city path. Weatherproofing transitions matter on coastal-adjacent streets; wall moves need Permit Center review. Lake Burien shoreline parcels add freshwater SMP questions that marine-only lots skip. Educational — no invented remodel costs.
Bath weatherproofing near Burien’s Sound and Lake Burien
Wet-area waterproofing leads on both marine and Lake Burien parcels. Mid-century stock often needs ventilation upgrades. Shoreline jurisdiction within 200 ft of OHWM can attach even when the bath feels inland.

Additions where Burien lots and overlays allow
Additions where lot and overlays allow still meet dual shoreline environments on some parcels — marine Sound frontage vs Lake Burien. Inland Highline lots trade shoreline for ordinary setbacks. Confirm Permit Center path before treating a bump-out as building-only.
