King County, Washington, is situated between scenic Puget Sound and the Cascade Mountains, covering more than 2,000 square miles and nearly twice as large as the average county in the U.S. With almost 1.8 million people, it also ranks as the 13th most populous county in the nation.

Under the leadership of Executive Ron Sims, King County’s government is nationally recognized for taking bold steps to help the region mitigate and adapt to climate change and restore Puget Sound. The county has also led the way in creating numerous policies and programs geared toward achieving sustainability and market-based solutions to protect our environment and quality of life. It is also recognized as having some of the greenest transportation programs in the nation. 

King County’s consumer outreach programs targeting environmental sustainability are numerous, ranging from the ever-popular “EcoConsumer”  who helps residents lead environmentally-friendly lifestyles, to innovative programs that make it easy to take a Metro bus or share a ride.  Consumers also get plenty of advice from popular programs such as “Natural Yard Care” for gardeners who want to keep pesticides and fertilizers out of waterways and the “What do I do with…?” program, which offers tips on how to dispose of waste and recyclable materials in environmentally sustainable ways.
