Public Affairs Office

Welcome to the Seattle District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Public Affairs home page. We hope the information you find here about us and what we are doing throughout our region is interesting and informative. If you have questions or comments, please let us know.

The Public Affairs mission is to inform the public, as well as Corps of Engineers employees, contractors, family members and retirees. The Public Affairs staff serves as liaison between the public and subject matter experts in the Corps of Engineers. We answer general public and media inquiries, arrange speaking engagements and exhibits, dispatch news releases and produce a number of publications. Technical questions relating to engineering, construction, permit or environmental restoration specifications are best directed to the technical office of primary responsibility. The professionals of the Corps' Seattle District Public Affairs Office are committed to providing the public open and straight-forward information and are available 24 hours a day for urgent inquiries. Often, the media or members of the public visit the Seattle District Office or Seattle District project sites for a more detailed look at what the Corps does.
