Climate Change in Puget Sound

The overwhelming majority of the global scientific community agree that greenhouse gases are heating up our planet. And temperatures in the Pacific Northwest are rising faster than the global average. Glaciers in the Cascades and the Olympics have retreated markedly since 1950. Puget Sound’s waters are warming, and river and stream flows are changing.

No one can precisely predict the future of the Sound’s resources under changing climate conditions. But we can make some solid assumptions about what is likely to happen—and plan a course of action that takes climate change into consideration when adopting policies that affect Puget Sound.
