Welcome to Snohomish County WSU Beach Watchers!

We are 50+ volunteers dedicated to the protection of our local natural resources, especially focusing on Puget Sound. Even though we've existed for only two years, we have volunteered over 4500 hours to Puget Sound research, education and restoration projects near our homes.

Snohomish County WSU Beach Watchers receive 100 hours of university-caliber training from over 40 local experts, offered annually. We agree to volunteer at least 100 hours over two years. The training expands our minds and the volunteering expands our skills, our hearts and our connection to our community.

We work on a broad range of projects, allowing each of us to find the ones that meet our diverse interests in our own communities. Projects range from doing beach interpretation of critters at local parks during low tides to water quality sampling to organizing public seminars.

Snohomish County WSU Beach Watchers partner with many organizations to set our project priorities and to share our resources and expertise. Our major 2008 partners include the Snohomish County Marine Resources Committee, Washington Department of Health, People for Puget Sound, the City of Mukilteo and the Northwest Straits Foundation. Please explore our website site further to learn about our upcoming events and volunteer opportunities.

Hope to see you on the beach soon!
