Kenmore remodels — Northshore lakeside stock, dual shoreline diligence
Kenmore SMP shoreline jurisdiction includes Lake Washington and Swamp Creek — a Shoreline of the State that remains under shoreline rules, not only newer citywide stream-buffer programs. Preapplication meetings typically precede SSDP or shoreline exemption filings. This Board of Project Stewardship hub covers Northshore mid-century kitchen and bath work plus shoreline-aware additions along the Burke-Gilman corridor.

Northshore kitchens along Kenmore’s lakeside streets
Post-war houses along Kenmore’s Burke-Gilman and lakeshore streets remodel kitchens under the city’s MyBuildingPermit desk. Swamp Creek shoreline jurisdiction — still a Shoreline of the State — can trigger preapplication even when the work triangle sits away from Lake Washington. Board of Project Stewardship layout notes stay educational, never a fixture catalog.
Bath envelope work on Kenmore’s Lake Washington edge
Lakeside envelope and wet-area detailing matter on Kenmore’s north tip of Lake Washington. Waterproofing leads; shoreline preapplication may attach when the parcel sits in mapped shoreline jurisdiction. Gut vs refresh stays a scope call.

Shoreline-aware additions in Kenmore
Additions near Lake Washington or Swamp Creek stack building permits with shoreline review — confirm buffers and OHWM early. Inland Northshore lots trade shoreline for ordinary setbacks. Sequence preapplication before assuming a bump-out is building-only.
