People For Puget Sound

We are a founding member of a growing coalition working to protect Washington from the risks of oil transportation by rail, barges, and tankers.

Mark Powell swam the entire length of the Duwamish River to connect the challenges of urban pollution with the opportunities to protect the Sound.

We collaborate with a growing number of groups across the state to secure dedicated funding for our state’s water needs, from reducing toxic runoff to floodplain management to water supply strategies.

We support the Partnership’s work to bring the region together and recover Puget Sound to health through cleaning up our waterways, protecting and restoring habitat, and taking action to heal this national treasure.

We partner to highlight the connection between two iconic endangered species: Southern Resident Killer Whales and the Chinook salmon populations upon which the whales depend for their survival.

As a Community Advisory Group member, we work to ensure that the Duwamish River Superfund cleanup not only restores environmental health and protects fishers and families who use the river, but also reflects the priorities, values, and will of the people who live and work in the region.
