Environment

Regard for the environment is woven into the fabric of every Port Blakely community.

Our projects are designed with the principles of smart growth, which seeks to preserve open space by clustering dwellings and providing jobs and services nearby to reduce traffic congestion.

During site preparation our engineers use innovative techniques developed by Port Blakely engineers to ensure that water quality and the surrounding wildlife habitat are protected.

Upon completion, environmental amenities such as lakes, parks, hiking trails, and surrounding forests are a hallmark of Port Blakely Communities. For example, at Issaquah Highlands, we donated 1,400 acres of open space to the City of Issaquah and King County for parks, ball fields, and hiking trails, giving Issaquah more park land than the City of Seattle.
