Natural Resources Division

Manager: Michael See

The Natural Resources Division of Skagit County Public Works is comprised of two Sections: Surface Water and Water Resources. A highly trained staff manages a number of programs to provide clean water, effective drainage, flood damage reduction and restoration. Partnering with dike and drainage districts, tribes, state and federal agencies, Skagit Conservation District and local non-profit agencies, Skagit County effectively leverages local funding sources and resources for maximum efficiency and results.

The Natural Resources Division works closely with:
