Regional Collaboration for Better Resilience Outcomes in the Puget Sound Basin

Recipient: King County, Washington
Funding Amount: $1,999,963

Washington’s Puget Sound basin is home to more than five million people and is the most densely populated region in the Pacific Northwest, supporting key urban centers including Seattle and Tacoma and 19 federally recognized Coast Salish tribes. This project will enhance regional collaboration by providing staffing and programming support to the Puget Sound Climate Preparedness Collaborative, a network of local and county governments, tribes, regional agencies, and other organizations working to build community, economic, and environmental resilience to climate change. With this funding, the collaborative will strengthen local and regional capacity, partner with Coast Salish tribes to increase regional understanding of climate change impacts, and establish a knowledge base of climate preparedness resources.
