"Betsy provided us with a rural stewardship plan that was professional and obtainable.  She guided us every step of the way.  Without her expertise we would not have been able to build a home on our beautiful piece of property". - Kathleen Chartrand, King County

We hired Betsy during the spring of 2018 to perform a critical areas assessment. She began by walking us through the process and explaining our options. Once we chose a direction to take, Betsy worked efficiently to complete the work. The final report was balanced and thorough and gave us exactly what we needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Betsy again. Her work is excellent and she acts with integrity.  -- Hannah, Carnation Farms, Carnation, WA

We are excited to commend you for your very timely execution and completion of the specific wetland services that we required.  You have demonstrated exemplary professionalism and your communications with us have proven refreshingly friendly and admirably responsive to our needs…meeting us at the point of our understanding which was sorely lacking.   Betsy, I hope it is evident how heartily we would recommend you for your expert consultation and professional services to anyone with wetland-related needs.   Many, MANY THANKS to you!!!  - Meg Hesher
Thank you so much!  This was incredibly fast, thorough, straight forward and cost effective.

We had a very challenging piece of property to plat in North Rosehill (wetlands, class II stream, buffer issues, etc). Betsy MacWhinney helped it all work smoothly with the City of Kirkland. She was impressively responsive to our needs and made the plat process easier for all. We would highly recommend her company and use her services again.
Jerry, Lois & Kim Lohnes, Kirkland, Washington


Over the past 5 years Betsy has tirelessly helped us navigate a very difficult permitting process. She has a vast knowledge of wetland and environmental requirements. She advocates for her clients and educates them better than any other consultant we have worked with. On top of all that she is kind, reliable, attentive and genuinely cares about her clients and the environment. I wholeheartedly recommend her!

"As a custom and spec home builder, it is crucial that we understand what impacts we have on the environment when deciding on an area to construct. I have worked with Betsy over the last decade and am always impressed with her knowledge and devotion in not only protecting our environment but making sure we as builders can still develop.
​She works hard to come up with solutions that will both protect future development while protecting our most precious asset, sustainability.. I recommend Betsy for any of your critical and wetland needs."
 - Greg Brown, JNG Custom Homes 


Betsy has been a huge help in researching properties to purchase, and after purchasing properties an invaluable asset with the permitting process.  She was of immeasurable assistance during the permitting and building process of our house, which was located on a piece of property with two streams in North Bend. She was also very instrumental during the building process for a family member’s house on a steep hillside in Issaquah.  With her insight and knowledge, we were able to make wise investment choices and meet all of King County permitting and environmental requirements.  Her quick responses made her a joy to work with.  We highly recommend MacWhinney Environmental.
Ed and Donna, North Bend
