Washington State Department of Agriculture
The Washington State Department of Agriculture has been serving the state for more than 100 years.
Our diverse roles include providing fee-based services to the agriculture community, promoting Washington agricultural products, and ensuring regulations are observed.
We work extensively with farmers and ranchers, but our responsibilities — from ensuring food safety to environmental protection — touch the lives of millions of people locally, nationally, and abroad.

Meet WSDA veterenarian Bruce Hutton. State field veterinarians keep animals healthy and safe. They work to control and eliminate new or foreign diseases, including ones that can affect humans, and they’re key players in emergency responses when animal-related disasters strike.
