Ecology is Washington’s environmental protection agency.
Our goals:
To achieve these goals, we engage in strategic planning under the direction and guidance of the Legislature and Governor's office. Our planning processes take a broad and holistic approach that focuses not only on what we do, but how we do it.
Our approach is both aspirational and practical. Read on to learn about our mission, vision, foundational principles, strategic priorities, and tactical objectives.
Integrated water solutions is a coordinated and collaborative approach to delivering clean, cool water. It ensures Washington has adequate water supplies to meet current and future drinking water needs, commercial and agricultural uses, and sustain fish and the natural environment.

Washington’s new streamflow restoration law helps protect water resources, provides water for families in rural Washington, and directs local planning groups to develop streamflow restoration plans. Learn more about our work on streamflow restoration.
