Note that in addition to entering support levels for every proposed recommendation the survey also asks for your top 5 of the 36 draft recommendations. We have identified our top 12 list as guidance as you complete the survey.
After the Task Force’s meeting on November 6 from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Washington State Fair Events Center (110 9th Ave. SW, Puyallup), the final Year 1 report and recommendations will be finalized on November 16, 2018. The implementation of many of the recommendations will require state legislation. Contact your State Senator and Representatives to let them know about your support for SRKW recovery actions.
