Clean air is healthy air and healthy air is vital to all of our health and well-being. If you notice an air quality problem in your community please submit a complaint using one of the methods presented.

We respond to complaints in King, Kitsap, Pierce or Snohomish counties. To submit a complaint in another county, locate the clean air agency for that county using this map.

Talking to Your neighbor

Many times people are unaware of the effect their behavior is having on their neighbors, so we always suggest talking to them first. We find that in general, neighbor-to-neighbor talks are a helpful way to assist them into changing their behavior and are more effective than regulatory action.

Please visit our library for information that can be helpful when talking to your neighbor.

Always call 9-1-1 if you or someone else needs immediate medical attention due to an air quality problem.
