Green Stormwater Infrastructure Mini Grants

The Problem/Barrier: We understand that for homeowners, investing in green stormwater infrastructure can be time consuming and costly, creating a barrier for would-be participants. Our goal is to work across the system, giving people the connections, tools, resources, and knowledge needed to care for our land and water.

The Solution: Green Stormwater Infrastructure Mini Grants provide up to $1,500 for landowners within the King County Wastewater Treatment Division (WTD) service area that are not eligible for other incentive programs. Up to $4,500 may be provided to income-limited landowners. If you are ready to invest in green infrastructure on your property, we are here to help by walking you through the process and providing a financial tool.

Approved green infrastructure types include:

  • Rain gardens
  • Depave projects
  • Cisterns
  • Green roofs
  • Grattix
