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 to 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, KrisTina Hertz, and Marlo Mytty work in an office just south of the Ballard Bridge, in Seattle's Interbay neighborhood.

Our work has us protecting and restoring old-growth forests in the 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. Our work reintroduced an important forest mammal, the fisher, to its native home on the Peninsula, after an 80-year absence. And we're working in coalition with others to help build wildlife connections north to south in the Cascades across the Interstate 90 divide.
