Clean up & restoration

The Action Agenda for Puget Sound sets cleanup priorities for contaminated sites at seven bays and any location within a half mile of Puget Sound. We're overseeing — and, in many cases, helping to fund — cleanups at these sites and other key areas in the Puget Sound basin. 

  • Puget Sound cleanup sites
  • Other major cleanup sites
The seven bays:
  • Bellingham Bay 
  • Budd Inlet
  • Fidalgo Bay/Anacortes
  • Lower Duwamish Waterway
  • Port Angeles Harbor
  • ​Port Gamble
  • Port Gardner/Everett
  • Everett Smelter
  • Tacoma Smelter
  • UW Tacoma
  • Commencement Bay (EPA)
  • Harbor Island (EPA)
  • ​Eagle Harbor (EPA)
  • Rayonier Mill / Port Angeles

The Scott Paper site cleanup in Anacortes was a major milestone for Puget Sound restoration.
