Mission: To empower community members to protect and restore southwest Washington’s waterways and natural areas for the benefit of current and future generations.

The History of the Alliance: The Alliance was originally incorporated as the Vancouver Watershed Alliance in 2008, with funding from the City of Vancouver to help with the cleanup and restoration of Burnt Bridge Creek.  Since then, the organization has expanded its role such that it now works with  local governments throughout the county, with other nonprofit organizations, and with businesses, schools, and other partners.  In 2017, the organization changed its name to the Watershed Alliance of Southwest Washington to reflect its broader impact and mission.
