Department of Fish and Wildlife
Owned Facilities by County - 1997-99
Project Map



Capital Overview

The Department of Fish and Wildlife is charged with preserving, protecting, and perpetuating Washington's diverse fish, shellfish, and wildlife resources and their habitats for the benefit of Washington's citizens. In addition, the federal courts have charged the state with ensuring that treaty tribes have an opportunity to catch their share of harvestable fish and shellfish resources.

The Department owns or manages for other governmental entities over 850,000 acres of land statewide. These holdings include 77 fish hatcheries, rearing and spawning sites, and numerous fish passage and collection facilities, 610 public fishing and access sites, and shellfish and wildlife reserves open to recreation. The agency operates pheasant rearing farms and has several administrative offices. Maintaining various lands and facilities presents unique capital challenges as a result of exposure to natural conditions, effects of fire and flooding, and constant public use.

The focus of the Department's capital budget continues to be one of health and safety compliance, habitat conservation and restoration to maintain healthy natural fish and wildlife populations, and enhancement of those populations for recreational and commercial benefit.
