When the office nearest you is...Seattle

Founded on conservation

Our office in Seattle got its start as The Cascades Conservation Partnership office. The Partnership, administered by Conservation Northwest, from 2000-2004 took on the job of raising funds to protect checkerboard forest lands near Snoqualmie Pass, key wildlife habitat connecting the Alpine Lakes to Mount Rainier.

Now, our Seattle-based staff of Jen Watkins, Paul Bannick, Derek Churchill, Faye Conte, and Marlo Mytty work out of this cozy office perched in the eclectic Fremont neighborhood.

Our work has us protecting and restoring old-growth forests in the Central Cascades just east of Seattle, including the Mount Baker Snoqualmie and Wenatchee National Forests. We're continuing to build common ground in rural communities to restore forests in the Olympic and Gifford Pinchot National Forests. And we're working in coalition with others on creating wildlife corridors across the I-90 divide.
