Become the Next Green City
Interested in becoming a new Green City?
The Green City Partnerships are expanding to help all of the urban areas in the Puget Sound region effectively steward their natural open spaces. We conduct a capacity assessment of the current condition of the city's natural areas, agencies, and community to put together a comprehensive 20-year plan for restoring and maintaining its natural open space. The implementation of the plan engages an educated and involved community to sustain a healthy urban environment for generations to come.
