Puget Sound Partnership

Gov. Bob Ferguson has appointed David Troutt to the Puget Sound Partnership's Leadership Council, the governing body of the Puget Sound Partnership. Troutt has served as the Nisqually Indian Tribe's Director of Natural Resources since 1987, overseeing a diverse department comprising salmon harvest management, two large salmon hatcheries, shellfish management, data operations, environmental management, wildlife management, dive services, legal, administration, and budget development and monitoring.

“I look forward to working more closely with David Trout on the Leadership Council. He always asks the tough questions and then works collaboratively to solve them,” said Kate Dean, vice chair of the Puget Sound Partnership Leadership Council. “He will be a strong voice for the Puget Sound and for the Tribes he has worked with for many years.”

Troutt previously chaired the Washington State Salmon Recovery Funding Board and currently chairs the Puget Sound Salmon Recovery Council. He has been a leading voice in numerous regional efforts for salmon recovery. Troutt received his Bachelor of Science from the University of Washington School of Fisheries and has served as the chair of the Nisqually River Council since 2006.
