Our Northwest Region serves Island, Kitsap, King, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish, and Whatcom counties. These seven counties account for nearly half the state’s population, regulated facilities, and cleanup sites. It’s one of our four regions.
Five new things to know, starting May 26

Our Bellingham Field Office is not part of this moving picture, and is staying put. It’s where we base much of our work in the region’s northern counties.
Please note, as with all Ecology offices, our new location is currently closed to walk-in traffic due to the COVID pandemic for the safety of our customers and employees.
Nine Ecology programs work in the Northwest Region
Our environmental programs — all but Nuclear Waste, with its own office near the Hanford Nuclear Reservation — base staff in regional offices to more readily bring Ecology’s programs and services to local communities. Headquarters has our back with central services that let regional teams focus on putting boots on the ground. A quick rundown:
This portable air monitoring station can support temporary projects like reporting smoke episode pollution levels.
Hazardous Waste and Toxics Reduction: Regulates toxic chemicals in products and promotes the use of safer alternatives, helps businesses reduce toxic chemical use or waste, inspects and helps facilities and communities safely manage and reduce the risks of dangerous waste, and oversees contamination cleanups of major industrial sites.
Ecology and Transportation have long worked together to keep litter off state highways!
oversees the state’s Shoreline Management Act and clean water act protections for shorelines and wetlands; assists local governments with floodplain planning and restoration;reviews permit applications for shoreline activities under the clean water act, Shoreline Management Act and Coastal Zone Management Act; oversees Washington Conservation Corps activities; issues grants to local governments, tribes and non-profit organizations to restore and protect shorelines and wetlands.
Solid Waste Management:Supports local solid waste programs through grant support and technical assistance, oversees regional Ecology Youth Corps litter crews, and oversees the cleanup process for solid waste landfill closures.
The Shoreline facility will house spill response trucks and boats.
Works with tribes and stakeholders to reduce risks and prevent oil spills, to adequately plan and prepare for spills, and to mount a rapid, aggressive, and well-coordinated response when spills and other hazardous material emergencies occur. Oversees spill contingency planning and preparation for major oil-handling facilities and large vessels.
Toxics Cleanup: Oversees the cleanup of contaminated sites, investigates new reports of contamination, issues matching grants to local governments for cleanups on public lands; issues public participation grants to enable community groups to monitor cleanup projects; oversees and inspects underground storage tank installations to prevent leaks and spills.
Water Quality:Writes and administers water quality permits, and conducts compliance assurance activities for a wide range of facilities and discharges, including wastewater treatment plants, industrial facilities, and stormwater runoff;
Sometimes colorful, always interesting, water qualtity monitoring and special studies can take regional staff far afield.

Water Resources: Oversees the management of water resources for instream and out-of-stream purposes, including processing applications for new water rights and modifications to existing water rights, ensuring compliance with state water law, regulating well construction, leading watershed-based planning efforts, and monitoring water supply conditions.
