Legislative Action

Lobby Week Group holding Sierra Club Banner

Get ready for the 2027 session

The Sierra Club Washington State Chapter empowers members to fight for environmental wins in Olympia. The 2027 legislative session starts in January, and our new priorities are coming soon. Sign up now so you're ready to act from day one.

What we won in 2026

In a tough 60-day session, members like you called, emailed, testified and showed up in Olympia. Here's what that made possible.

Clean energy loopholes closed

No new gas plants built to power data centers. Our grid is back on track to be carbon-free by 2045.

Snake River dam studies funded

Two key studies move forward, laying the groundwork for removing the lower Snake River dams.

Faster path for clean power

A new state transmission authority will speed up building wind, solar and battery storage.

Data center tax break ended

Washington will save about $65 million a year.

Cougars protected

No more sheriff-sanctioned civilian posses hunting cougars. Wildlife management stays with the professionals.

Trust Land Transfer funding

$4 million to turn state trust lands into new parks and nature preserves.

Help with energy bills

Low-income households now have more help paying their energy bills.

Two ways to take action

Join an In-District Lobby Team

Volunteer lobbyists meet with their own state legislators to share Sierra Club priorities and learn what matters to them. We provide lobby training, issue briefings, fact sheets and talking points, and ongoing team support.
