The Deschutes Estuary Restoration Project is one of the largest urban estuary restoration projects in the country. The restoration project is 260 acres, at the mouth of the Deschutes River which is at the footsteps of the State Capital. Ecology’s Southwest Region is the lead on this multi-benefit project that includes strong partnership collaboration with the Squaxin Island Tribe, City of Olympia, City of Tumwater, Thurston County, Port of Olympia, LOTT Clean Water Alliance, the Department of Enterprise Services, and Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife.

The Transboundary Flood initiative (TFI) uses a collaborative framework to identify and pursue actions to reduce flood risk and restore habitats. Repeated flooding from the Nooksack River in Whatcom County into the Sumas Prairie in British Columbia is a shared challenge on both sides of the US/Canada border. The State of Washington and the Province of British Columbia help to facilitate and coordinate the work of the Initiative. In Washington, this work includes Ecology’s financial support for the Whatcom County led Floodplain Integrated Planning process.
What you will do:
