We opened our office in Seattle in 1987 to enable Earthjustice to take a more active role in preserving the unique natural resources, wildlife, and communities in the Pacific Northwest. Since that time, the Northwest office has undertaken campaigns to protect old growth forests, promote salmon recovery and habitat protection, protect Puget Sound and the Salish Sea and the communities that depend on them, prevent the Pacific Northwest from becoming a fossil fuel export hub, and promote a just transition to a clean energy future, among other things. We continue to expand our climate and clean energy work and our partnerships with environmental justice communities in the Seattle and Portland areas. We frequently work in close partnership with Native American Tribes and fence-line communities.Earthjustice is the nation’s leading environmental law organization. Wielding the power of law, Earthjustice partners with our clients to take on the most critical fights of our time — fights to protect the incredible biodiversity and wild places of the planet; to avert climate disaster by transitioning society away from fossil fuels toward clean energy; to safeguard the right of all people to a healthy environment. We are here because the earth needs a good lawyer.Founded in 1971, Earthjustice has a distinguished track record of achieving significant, lasting environmental protections. We achieve this by hiring people who share a passion for justice and a healthy environment. Our headquarters are in San Francisco with offices in Anchorage, Bozeman, Chicago, Denver, Honolulu, Houston, Juneau, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York, Seattle, Tallahassee and Washington, D.C.The Associate Attorney position is a three-year position with the potential for extension, designed to help attorneys who are in the early stages of their careers to develop into thoughtful, professional, and effective advocates skilled in the various phases of public interest litigation. As Associate Attorneys gain experience, they gradually take on more independent responsibility for their cases but work throughout their tenure under the supervision of Senior Attorneys, Deputy Managing Attorneys, or the Managing Attorney. Many Associates have gone on to other positions within Earthjustice and with other public interest organizations.Although the primary focus of the Northwest office is representing environmental and community groups in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and northern California, we often take cases with national scope. For example, the Northwest office leads nationwide litigation focused on compelling full and transparent environmental reviews for projects that harm environmental health and communities, ensuring protection of threatened and endangered species, and banning dangerous pesticides, like chlorpyrifos. We have a track record of achieving significant, lasting environmental protections, and we achieve this by hiring people who share a passion for justice and a healthy environment.
