Bio

Christian L. Watchie has worked since 1994 developing successful strategic planning processes and innovative approaches to engage the public in land use and transportation decisions. Stemming from her education in environmental planning and policy, her firm’s primary focus has been the linkage of planning with public outreach models for community-wide input on land use / transportation, transit strategic plans, and large scale public infrastructure projects. Watchie designs and facilitates public engagement processes for mixed-use center planning, civic architecture, and transportation policy development for a number of cities, counties, and public agencies.

Christian’s former days as a North Cascades backcountry ranger keeps her prepared to hit any trail at a moment’s notice.  When she isn’t going up, she can be found along an Oregon stream with rod in hand wearing her father’s unsightly, old, and tattered orange fishing hat.
