Noxious weeds are found everywhere in King County: in urban, suburban and rural areas; on developed and undeveloped land; in gardens, farmland, forests and natural areas, as well as in lakes, rivers, streams and in Puget Sound. Weeds are everyone's problem, directly or indirectly.

Under the authority of the Noxious Weed Control Board, the mission of the program is to:

  • carry out the mandates of the State weed control law, Chapter 17.10 RCW;
  • identify the scope of the noxious weed problem in King County;
  • assist and educate landowners to be responsible stewards of the land and aquatic resources of the County by eliminating or minimizing the degrading impact of invasive noxious weeds;
  • provide quality, timely and responsive service to the residents of King County
