We are a special-purpose, regional agency chartered by state law in 1967 ( RCW 70.94 ). While we work in partnership with the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Washington State Department of Ecology, we are a separate organization. Our jurisdiction covers King, Kitsap, Pierce and Snohomish counties, spans 6, 300 square miles and is home to more than 3.5 million people over half the state's population. We have a staff of 70 people, comprised of air quality planners and engineers, inspectors, meteorologists and technicians who maintain air quality monitoring equipment. In addition, we are supported by our in-house computer services, communications, human resources, legal services, records management, accounting and administrative staff. We are governed by a Board of Directors which is comprised of elected officials from each of the four counties in our jurisdiction ( King, Kitsap, Pierce and Snohomish ), a representative from the largest city in each county, and one member representing the public-at-large. We also have an Advisory Council comprised of individuals representing large and small businesses, non-regulated business, education, transportation, health, tribes, fire officials, the environmental community, ports and the public-at-large.
