Our History
In 2009, the Washington Legislature created the Washington Stormwater Center. Several Washington State businesses and organizations came together to ask the legislature for a non-regulatory source for assistance to help them comply with Department of Ecology issued stormwater management permits.

Partnerships
The important work we do at the Washington Stormwater Center could not be done without partnerships with a variety of collaborators and funders. We rely on these partnerships in all of our programs and aspects of our work.
Puget Sound Recovery
In our Puget Sound work, we collaborate with a wide range of state and federal agencies (led by the Puget Sound Partnership), universities, non-profits, and community groups in the course of this work. With habitat and shellfish teams, the Stormwater Initiative Lead provides a roadmap for how to effectively address stormwater problems in the 12-county Puget Sound Region.
