Washington State Department of Agriculture
The Washington State Department of Agriculture has been serving the state for more than 100 years.
Our diverse roles include providing fee-based services to the agriculture community, promoting Washington agricultural products, and ensuring regulations are observed.
We work extensively with farmers and ranchers, but our responsibilities — from ensuring food safety to environmental protection — touch the lives of millions of people locally, nationally, and abroad.
