Allen Quilceda Watershed Action Team

The Allen Quilceda Watershed Action (AQWA) Team is a diverse community group working together to implement the Quilceda/Allen Watershed Management Plan and to improve the overall water quality of streams in the Allen Quilceda Watershed through education, community outreach, and improvements to the environment. The Team is comprised of representatives from local city, county and state agencies, the Tulalip Tribe, Marysville Schools, non-profit organizations, and local businesses and residents.
