Center for Urban Waters
The Center for Urban Waters is a community of environmental scientists, analysts, engineers and policy makers developing creative and sustainable solutions to restore and protect the urban waterways. The center is home to the City of Tacoma’s Environmental Sciences group, which plans and implements environmental solution; the University of Washington Tacoma’s environmental sciences research program, and the Puget Sound Partnership, which coordinates the recovery and restoration of the Puget Sound. The unique intellectual environment brings together organizations with complementary missions and individuals with diverse skills to develop innovative approaches to environmental restoration, as well as protection and to sustainable urban development.
Located on the east side of Tacoma’s Thea Foss Waterway, the LEED-Platinum-designed center began operations in spring 2010.
