Puget Sound Sage

Puget Sound Sage charts a path to a living economy in the South Salish Sea and Duwamish River Valley regions by developing community power to influence, lead, and govern. We ground our policies in community-based research and vet potential policy opportunities people and organizations serving BIPOC workers, their families and communities. From this process, we have advocated for and passed some of our region’s most exciting policies that promote climate justice, good jobs and equitable development in low-wage and people of color communities. Our campaigns and theory of change are rooted in racial justice, which for us means work for Black liberation and in solidarity with Indigenous communities as we collectively build power in our region. 

Our family of organizations includes Puget Sound Sage (501c3) and Sage Leaders (501c4), an affiliated organization that cultivates deep democracy in Washington state by developing Black, Indigenous and People of Color community leaders for civic and elected leadership. We are a staff of 20, based in Seattle’s Chinatown/International District, currently working remotely.
