ABOUT The Watershed

The Lake Whatcom watershed is located in Whatcom County in the northwest corner of Washington State. The watershed is not just a source of drinking water for county residents.  This watershed provides a place to live for a variety of animals, fish and humans alike.  It has also played an important role in the community's history of logging, mining, and lumber mills.
