King County Water and Land Resources Division (WLRD)

King County’s Water and Land Resources Division (WRLD) protects health, our unique environment and water quality. We preserve open space, restore habitat, support salmon recovery, control noxious weeds, offer hazardous waste disposal, and provide river and floodplain services on county rivers. We work on stormwater solutions, environmental monitoring, data analysis and habitat projects. We connect economic and technical services for forestry and agriculture with rural audiences. We could not do this without residents and businesses helping safeguard natural resources – to enjoy today and for generations to come.
