The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency is an air quality management agency serving King, Kitsap, Pierce and Snohomish counties. Created as a result of the 1967 Washington Clean Air Act, the agency works to protect public health, improve neighborhood air quality and reduce greenhouse gases to preserve our climate. We do this by adopting and enforcing air quality regulations, educating individuals and businesses about clean-air and climate-friendly choices they can make and sponsoring voluntary initiatives to improve air quality.

 

Puget Sound Energy's Powerful Choices for the Environment Program is an environmental education program that is changing how Washington state's middle school students and their families think about and use natural resources in their daily lives. Environmental education professionals, trained in science education and local resource use, in cooperation with over 20 local partnering agencies, deliver this hands-on, four-day program. The program is designed to empower 6-8th grade students across the region with the knowledge that their everyday choices do make a difference.

 

The Northwest Clean Air Agency ensures that people in Island, Skagit and Whatcom counties have clean air to breathe. This is accomplished by enforcing federal, state and local air quality regulations, and promoting volunteerism and creative enforcement solutions for environmental concerns that cannot be solved by a regulatory approach.
