		A cleaner Puget Sound PBDEs, toxic chemicals that wreak havoc with wildlife and are dangerous to humans, were once found in frightening concentrations in Puget Sound. But thanks to our work with a broad coalition of health and environmental advocates, we made Washington the first state in the nation to phase out their use.

		Restoration of ocean wildlife Overfishing had once threatened to make Washington’s waters barren. But Environment Washington played a critical role in passing new federal protections to reduce this unsustainable activity and to restore ocean habitat.

		Ending pollution of our waterways Oeser Company can no longer discharge toxic chemicals into the tributaries of Bellingham Bay. That’s because Environment Washington and the Washington Toxics Coalition won our case in court to protect the state’s waters.
