Goals

Clean Water for Salmon, Orcas, and People
We work to protect clean water for communities and wildlife by reducing toxics and other pollution from stormwater, wastewater, and legacy pollution sites across the state.

Protect and Restore Healthy Habitat
With partners and Tribes, we accelerate transitions to healthy shorelines and thriving salmon habitat.

Build Public Support and Engagement
We ensure the public’s voice drives policy priorities through action alerts, public comment periods, community-based events, environmental lobby days, and volunteer opportunities.
Highlights

We Are Puget Sound
We Are Puget Sound is an advocacy campaign and new book that amplifies the stories of people working to protect and restore Puget Sound, by connecting each of us to the places we love and offering actions you can take to further recovery.

Orca Action Month
Join us for a month of educational and celebratory events in June to raise awareness of the threats facing our Southern Resident orca population and what we can do to protect them, salmon, and people.

Make your voice heard in public comments
People are at the heart of what we do, and engaging our members and supporters builds power and connects communities working toward recovery. Sign up for alerts to help advocate for clean water and healthy habitat!
People For Puget Sound
For nearly 30 years, People For Puget Sound and WEC worked together to protect the Sound. In 2012, People For Puget Sound is now a program of Washington Conservation Action. Together we helped establish the Puget Sound Partnership, ensured that the Department of Ecology adopted stronger permits to curb polluted runoff, secured some of the nation’s strongest oil spill prevention and response safeguards for marine waters, updated the Shoreline Management Act, pushed for statewide funding of clean water projects and toxic cleanups, and much more.
