Mission
The mission of the Washington Public Utility Districts Association is to support, protect and enhance its members’ ability to provide not-for-profit, locally controlled utility services for the people of Washington.

Services
The association represents PUDs in state, regional, and national legislative and policy processes; provides information about PUDs and policy issues to members and the public; offers training and development programs for utility leaders; and provides opportunities for PUD leaders and staff to meet, share information, and plan cooperative activities.

Vision
The Washington Public Utility Districts Association coordinates effective strategic advocacy by our members and provides professional services to support and complement these efforts at the state, regional and federal levels. We are a proactive organization that anticipates change and develops strategies for the future. As a group, we act as and are recognized as the voice of the people. We have a well-informed membership that actively participates in and supports the activities of the organization. The association provides excellent value for our members. WPUDA is widely respected within the industry and has a collaborative relationship with related organizations. Our members have the authority to provide all utility services to their customers. We speak with a unified voice that builds on the diversity of our membership. The association supports public power's first right to local control of low-cost, cost-based resources that supply our members’ needs. WPUDA has strong membership and effective staff that utilizes an outcomes-focused planning process. We are headquartered in Olympia in an association-owned building. The organization is financially healthy, fiscally responsible and adequately funded to achieve its stated goals.

In 2007, the Washington PUD Association moved into a new, U.S. Green Building Council LEED Platinum rated buling. Click the image above to read about our new building, or click at the bottom of this page to view a video about the first new-construction LEED Platinum office building in the state.
