Help review the draft Action Area Profiles!
As part of the legislation that created the Partnership, the region was divided into seven distinctive geographic action areas. Each of those areas has its own unique feel characterized by natural features, urban and rural centers, wildlife populations, economics, and history.

The Partnership has prepared draft Action Area Profiles for each action area that will become part of the Action Agenda. The profiles will be reviewed at the upcoming workshops and are available for comment and discussion online.

Thank you for working with us to protect and restore Puget Sound!
