the Key
 Planning for Key Peninsula’s growth walks fine balance
between development and preservation
Miles of coastlines and
pristine forests, tranquility amid flowing streams and
open spaces, a friendly community reminiscent of the good
old days of country living--the Key Peninsula is an
idyllic place for those running away from the hubbub of
city life and the swarming highways.
But as more people discover
what some call “the crown jewel of Puget Sound,” the
challenge of balancing growth and preserving quality of
life becomes a priority. A community planning board is
trying to address both sides.
