Welcome to Local 20/20!

Everyone in the community is welcome at Local 20/20, an all-volunteer, grassroots organization located in East Jefferson County, WA. We are dedicated to promoting community-interconnectedness, sustainability, and resiliency, moving toward a lighter environmental footprint, a greater capacity to adapt to the challenges of climate change, and a reduction in the local impact of broader economic instabilities. We acknowledge the existing disparities in income, access to stable housing, and affordable transportation in the county, and through our Action Groups, we aim to lessen these inequalities and take practical actions to improve our sustainability.
