In order to fulfill our mission and move Washington forward in a global economy, the Dept. of Ecology has three goals:

• Prevent pollution
• Clean up pollution
• Support sustainable communities and natural resources

Ecology director Jay Manning and Gov. Gregoire have established five strategic priorities to achieve our mission and goals. Information on our priorities, action plans and budgets can be found at the links below.
