The 22-year draft long-range plan has already drawn criticism from local leaders, and large crowds have turned out to public hearings around Puget Sound.

More than 500 Vashon Islanders attended a WSF hearing last week, while 125 packed a meeting hall on Whidbey Island.

Kingston will get its WSF hearing Wednesday. That meeting runs from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Kingston Yacht Club, 25915 Washington Blvd., Kingston.
