Protect Puget Sound

The Puget Sound is only as clean as the streams and wetlands that feed it, but two Supreme Court decisions have made it possible for polluters and developers to dump toxic waste into these streams and to pave over our wetlands.

Allowing upstream toxic dumping threatens the future of the Sound, and the health of the orcas, seals and salmon that depend on it. But we have a solution: By passing the Clean Water Restoration Act, we can restore protections to our streams and rivers and ensure that the Sound is safe and clean for future generations.

Take action. Lean more.
