Snohomish Conservation District

In Snohomish County, climate change is creating new water challenges—bringing heavier winter storms and drier summers that strain aging flood and drainage systems. Working alongside farmers, tribes, and local governments, the Snohomish Conservation District is helping lead efforts to replace critical infrastructure like the Dike and Drainage Improvement District 7, which protects both farmland and the city of Stanwood. The collaboration shows how shared solutions can strengthen communities, agriculture, and ecosystems for future generations.
