Aaland Planning Services, Inc.

My Business

I have worked for local and state  government agencies and nonprofit associations in Washington. Much of this work is aimed at helping local governments navigate various requirements of state law, including the Growth Management Act, State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), and natural resources policy development and implementation.

My state agency clients typically want assistance in working with cities and counties. Through my 30 years of experience as a local and state government planner, and executive management experience, I can advise agencies on the best ways to reach out and connect with these varied levels of government.

I also provide these services:

• Land Use Hearing Examiner (over twelve years of experience
  
• Public meeting facilitation (have conducted hundreds of  public meetings and public hearings)
• Stakeholder advisory group facilitation
• Strategic planning and staff retreats
