Puget Sound needs our help. Governor Chris Gregoire and the Legislature have made it a state priority to engage citizens, community organizations, Tribes and government at every level in restoring Puget Sound and Hood Canal to a healthy condition by 2020. Ecology is an important partner in this effort, and it is one the agency's five strategic priorities.
