Presented in partnership with the WSBA Environmental and Land Use Law Section

Join us in-person or remotely for the Environmental and Land Use Midyear from May 8-9, 2025. We will be in beautiful Union at the Alderbrook Resort & Spa this year as well as broadcasting live online. Hear from practitioners from around the state speaking on crucial topics such as: legislative and federal case updates, Indian water rights, the CCA, the SEP fund, land issues in eastern Washington, exactions, ISGP and derelict vessels, and environmental justice.

In addition to helpful programming, attendees will enjoy lots of time to go outside and explore the surrounding beauty.
