* Uphold the core values of the Growth Management Act -- focus on urban density to avoid rural sprawl;
* Do not yield on our commitment to Puget Sound cleanup, storm water mitigation, and groundwater preservation;
* Embrace the reality that Green House gasses are harmful to human health and manage our regulatory environment to achieve a reduction in greenhouse gases while we build a clean energy economy;
* Maintain access to our state parks, waterways, and natural areas. Multiuse strategies reinforce conservation, promote environmental appreciation, and enhance our economy.
