Index remodels — canyon floodplain permit before cabin work
Index is a very small historic railroad town in the Skykomish River canyon along US-2. Town code requires a floodplain development permit before development in mapped flood hazard areas, and Shoreline Master Program chapter 16.20 adds SSDP / exemption / CUP / variance paths with town-council involvement. Flood and shoreline dominate over urban design-district theater. This Board of Project Stewardship hub orients cabin and small-structure kitchen, bath, and addition questions to that canyon AHJ — educational only.

Cabin kitchens when Index floodplain permits lead
Historic small-town and cabin kitchens in Index remodel under the town’s tiny AHJ — far from Everett portals. Wall moves that change the building envelope can still need floodplain development permit clearance when the parcel sits in mapped SFHA before cabinets go in. Educational — not a schedule.
Bath waterproofing in Index’s canyon housing stock
Waterproofing leads in cabin wet rooms. Plumbing moves follow town review; flood elevation and shoreline packets can stack when the parcel is river-adjacent. Confirm town vs county before gut demo on canyon edge lots.

Index additions where flood and shoreline outrank design theater
Cabin and historic small-structure expansions answer to Index floodplain and SMP chapters before framing price is honest. Stormwater chapter 13.20 may attach to grading. Sequence those town tracks; the Board does not invent canyon lot yields.
