Description This rating system was designed to differentiate between wetlands in western Washington based on their sensitivity to disturbance, their significance, their rarity, our ability to replace them, and the functions they provide. The rating system, however, does not replace a full assessment of wetland functions that may be necessary to plan and monitor a project of compensatory mitigation.

Version 2 of the 2014 Update to the Washington Wetland Rating System for Western Washington provides clarifications and updated information needed for applying wetland ratings in western Washington but does not change the underlying model.
NOTES For the most current versions of the wetland rating system for western and eastern Washington see the Web Page link below.
