2025 State Conference Recap  

Relive the 2025 AWRA-WA Annual State Conference through brief summaries of the conference, keynote address, and all five sessions. The conference was held on October 14, 2025 at the Mountaineers Seattle Program Center with the theme, "Rethinking the Water Year: Aligning Supply & Demand in a Changing Water Resources Landscape".

This year's program moved beyond identifying problems to exploring practical solutions. Through expert presentations and facilitated discussions, attendees examined both the failures and successes of current approaches, emerging strategies for uncertainty management, and innovative frameworks for balancing competing demands.
