At Heart of America Northwest, our mission is to advance our region's quality of life through highly credible research, education, and participation of citizens in issues affecting the health, environment, and economy of the Northwest particularly as it affects Hanford.

Heart of America Northwest is a regional non-profit public interest organization that has spent over twenty years advocating for the timely cleanup of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. We are the leading grassroots organization working on the clean-up of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation & the Columbia River, transportation of nuclear waste to the Northwest, and other hazardous waste issues.

Heart of America Northwest takes a comprehensive approach to advocacy on Hanford issues:

• grassroots organizing;
• public education;
• legal advocacy;
• legislative work and lobbying;
• media outreach;
• credible research & policy expertise.

The Heart of America Northwest office is based in Seattle's University District, but we travel frequently throughout Oregon and Washington to public meetings, hearings, special events and meeting with officials, our members and board members.  Feel free to contact us!
