MILITARY TRAINING DOESN’T BELONG IN ANYONE’S BACKYARD.

The U.S. Navy is training some of the world’s loudest jets directly over Washington State communities, endangered wildlife habitats, and protected lands - contributing to noise, air, soil, and water pollution, and causing an urgent public health crisis in the PNW.

  • Restoring the Balance

    Join us in advocating for the health and safety of the people and places of the Pacific Northwest by getting the Navy to relocate their EA-18G Growler jets while refocusing the Naval Air Station at Whidbey Island (NASWI) to modern, environmentally sound, innovative missions.
