Clean Water, It’s Our Future – and it starts in your neighborhood.

In the Pacific Northwest, we have treasures that are worth protecting.  Today, the main source of pollution in our local waterways comes from everyday activities that leave pollutants behind and get picked up in storm runoff and carried to our streams and waterways.  However, there are many ways to help keep our water clean.  

Watch these video tips to learn how you can help protect the waters we love.
