Seattle Audubon Society is a non-profit environmental organization that advocates and organizes for cities where people and birds thrive. Founded in 1916, it is a chapter organization of the National Audubon Society, and is one of the oldest natural history organizations in the Pacific Northwest.
The society publishes a quarterly newsletter, EarthCare Northwest, on its current news.
