WWT will host a benefit screening of the Fly Fishing Film Tour on Oct. 22 at Gesa Power House Theatre in Walla Walla. Join WWT for inspiring new fly fishing films, a silent auction, and a gear raffle. Proceeds support local river restoration!

The new WWT annual report reflects a year of progress. WWT projects now protect more than 7 billion gallons of water every year and we’re discovering new possibilities in more watersheds. Check out the full 2025 Annual Report!

Rising to local water challenges will take leadership, perseverance, and fresh solutions. The new WWT 2026-2030 Strategic Plan shows that we are ready to meet the moment.

Washington's snowpack is way below normal as of February 2026. We may face another dangerously dry summer. WWT is committed to mitigating the impacts of potential drought conditions on rivers and fish.

Washington Water Trust just completed one of our largest streamflow restoration projects EVER! We permanently protected more than 250 million gallons of water in the Little Klickitat River to benefit steelhead and salmon.

Washington Water Trust partnered with farmers and the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe to support fish migration during drought in the Dungeness last summer. An innovative private and public funding combination led by Amazon and the Washington State Department of Ecology made this critical drought program possible.

Washington Water Trust is joining the Jötunn Ciderhouse Pop-up at Republic of Cider on Sunday, Sept. 28 from 1 to 5 pm! Chat with us about our work to restore local rivers while enjoying tasty, original ciders crafted by Jötunn Ciderhouse and Republic of Cider. The cideries will donate a portion of the proceeds from draft sales during the event to support WWT projects that keep local rivers flowing.

WWT will be at Georgetown Brewing Company on August 7 from 4 to 7 pm! Chat with us about our work to restore local rivers while enjoying one of Georgetown's tasty draft beers. A portion of the proceeds from draft beer sales during our pop-up will support WWT projects.

WWT has worked with local partners for over a decade to protect and restore water in Icicle Creek. Our efforts culminated in WWT signing agreements last year with the Cascade Orchard Irrigation Company and Chelan County to build a new pump station that will allow more than 1.3 billion gallons of water annually to remain in the creek. Now, the pump station is complete!

Summer is on its way. For all the warmth and joy the season brings, it can also mean danger for the fish in our rivers. Salmon need cool flowing water to migrate and spawn. Unfortunately, those flows have disappeared from many local streams. Every donation to WWT helps restore water to rivers for salmon. The first $10,000 donated until GiveBIG ends on May 7 will be matched!
