Mission Statement

Washington Water Trust works to improve and protect stream flows and water quality throughout Washington that benefit agriculture, fisheries and wildlife by using innovative, market-based transactions and cooperative partnerships to create balanced solutions.

  • Assess water rights and mitigation scenarios
Consultation and Coordination
  • Execute water use changes
  • Develop and administer water banking , water auctions
  • Engage stakeholder and agency involvement

Priorities & Focus Areas

We work statewide and focus on basins identified as critically flow limited. These basins include the Entiat, Methow, Nooksack, Okanogan, Puyallup, Walla Walla, Wenatchee and Yakima Basins. We are also active in the San Juan Islands, Olympic Peninsula, Lower Columbia, Klickitat and Stillaguamish basins.
