The Snoqualmie Watershed Forum has an open seat for a resident of the Snoqualmie or South Fork Skykomish basin, in King County Council District 3 (PDF map).
Applications for the position are due Nov. 2, 2025.
This is an opportunity for a resident with an interest in or knowledge of habitat restoration, conservation, watershed management, or those who have participated in environmental stewardship, to participate in a group that is learning about and making a difference for salmon, salmon habitat, and watershed health in the Snoqualmie and Skykomish basins.
The Snoqualmie Watershed Forum is a partnership between King County, the cities of Carnation, Duvall, North Bend and Snoqualmie, the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe, Tulalip Tribes, and the Town of Skykomish. Other members include local conservation non-profits, local residents, and a representative from the King Conservation District.
“As a Snoqualmie Watershed Forum member, I have been privileged to contribute to the ongoing efforts to restore Snoqualmie River habitat and bring back more salmon,” said Rich Shaffer, City of Duvall Councilmember. “Our group deeply cares about the environment and values diverse perspectives. I encourage farmers and other residents who share the love of the Snoqualmie Valley and its fish to apply.”
The King County Executive appoints the position, and the commitment includes six bi-monthly meetings per year, held on the third Wednesday of each month, both in person and remotely, as well as field trips to inform decisions on improving watershed health and salmon habitat.
King County is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion, and encourages residents representing our diverse community to apply. For details or to complete an application, visit the Snoqualmie Watershed Forum website.
