Welcome to Pateros, I grew up in Pateros and have served as high school coach, fire fighter, EMT, and police officer. I took the oath of office as 31st Mayor of Pateros in January of 2022. My Father, Tom, was the 21st Mayor of Pateros, from 1979 - 1986.
My fondest memories of growing up in Pateros are the hot summers riding my bike around town with my best friend, playing basketball at the tennis courts, and celebrating Pateros at the Apple Pie Jamboree. In the winter I would skate on the Methow, build snow-forts on the football field, or on the coldest days play board games inside with friends. As a family, my wife Nicole and son Kinden call Pateros home and are adding to these great memories. We want our community and visitors to feel at home and peace in Pateros and create great memories with family and friends.
-Mayor, Kelly Hook

The City of Pateros is proposing a periodic review and update to the City’s Shoreline Master Program (SMP). The City’s initial SMP was approved by the Department of Ecology in September 2012. The SMP is a combined planning and regulatory document that contains the City’s policies, goals, and specific land-use regulations for shorelines and consistent with the Shoreline Management Act (SMA) is intended to balance development, public access, and protection of natural resources and shoreline areas.

The shorelines of the state are among the most valuable and fragile of Washington’s natural resources. The SMA was enacted to protect the shorelines uses and development. The SMA is a cooperative program between the local government (City of Pateros) and the state (Department of Ecology). Ecology acts primarily in a supportive and reviewing capacity and must approve SMPs.
The SMP is a collection of regulations pertaining to shoreline protection, use, and development.
The Department of Ecology publishes a checklist of laws and rules each year that require local governments to review its SMP for compliance.
The SMA applies to:

The City of Pateros intends on schedule at least three opportunities for the public to engage and provide comments:
