Renewing Watershed Education Across Thurston County | Seattle News

Tumwater’s Public Works Committee just approved a big win for local environmental efforts: renewing the Regional Environmental Education Partnership to keep fighting for cleaner water across Thurston County. This powerhouse collaboration—now including Yelm for the first time—brings together cities and communities to tackle pollution through hands-on science, online tools, and community events that reached 800 homes and 300 volunteers last year. They’re also helping businesses and homeowners with stormwater solutions like rainscaping and pet waste stations, all while sharing $120K annually to fund outreach and education. With Tumwater contributing $14,400 yearly for five years, this renewed pact proves regional cooperation is key to protecting our waters—and it’s already earning award-worthy recognition.
