The Sno-King Watershed Council started in 2008 as an ad-hoc organization working to protect and advocate for streams and watersheds in Snohomish and King Counties. We are still all-volunteer, but evolved into a 501c3 nonprofit organization. We have the following programs:

Sno-King Water Watchers – Volunteers in our community-based water monitoring program gather water quality data on local streams and use it for stream protection and advocacy.

Swamp Creek Habitat Restoration Project  – Volunteers remove invasive plants and plant native plants to benefit the Swamp Creek Watershed, build community connections and raise awareness about climate and the environment.
