FEB.gov Western Region Seattle

About This FEB

Washington state hosts many agencies whose missions are tied to our unique geography, such as the Northwest Science agencies at NOAA, and the U.S. Coast Guard’s Pacific Area. What better place to study earthquakes and forests than the Pacific Northwest? See the U.S. Geological Society, Northwest Pacific Islands. 

The Seattle FEB has been running a unique leadership development program, the SFEB Associates, continuously for more than 25 years. Many graduates of this program remain in the area and employed by federal agencies. The SFEB works closely with current and former Associates to collaborate and enhance our network.
