We Are Here For You!

The charge to create Washington Stormwater Center was organized by stormwater-minded people and our organization developed by stormwater-minded people that, together, work toward our mission:

To protect Washington’s waters through improvements in stormwater management, serving as the central resource in Washington for integrated NPDES education, permit technical assistance, stormwater management and new technology research, development, and evaluation.

We will help you navigate complexities and challenges to realize the rewards of stormwater management. Our staff provides assistance, information resources, and training on stormwater management. Washington Stormwater Center provides a gateway to research, information and new, innovative, and emerging technologies.

We are here because we care about stormwater. Our focus is the impact stormwater has on our waterways, natural resources and you: permittees and stormwater managers.
