"I say I am a Planetwalker. Then I have to explain that a Planetwalker is anyone who walks the planet as a lifestyle choice, as part of an education in the spirit and hope of using the journey to benefit the world." ~John FrancisWe cannot chain the rain...we can only hope to guide it. The necessity of managing stormwater, at its very core, is all about balance. We need to create human systems for living and travelling, but in order to create functional systems – to ensure clean water, an environment where all organisms can thrive, and no urban flooding – we have to do it in a way that mimics nature. Kitsap County’s stormwater program is a national leader in designing systems that work in harmony with nature, rather than against it. With roughly 250 miles of shoreline and bounded on both sides by the majestic waters of Hood Canal and Puget Sound, Kitsap is rich in natural splendor. Our work with the Clean Water Kitsap partnership to reduce flooding, prevent pollution and restore fish habitat ensures that our shellfish beds, streams and waterbodies remain functional for the humans and wildlife that depend on them. From building stormwater parks to encouraging environmental behavior change, Kitsap continues to innovate. If you share a similar passion, discover a career with Kitsap County and #lovewhereyouwork!
