The Rural and Regional Services Section is organized in the Water and Land Resources Division of the King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks.  The section supports multi-jurisdictional efforts in a variety of business areas.  For example, we work to protect and restore healthy salmon populations, manage hazardous waste, protect and manage groundwater, acquire open space, provide restoration design and engineering, work to control noxious weeds, and provide basin stewardship.
