OLYMPIA – This year's treatment season for Spartina, an aggressive invasive weed, starts June 1 and will continue through November. Survey and eradication efforts, led by the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA), will take place in multiple areas, including Grays Harbor, Hood Canal, Willapa Bay, Puget Sound, the north and west sides of the Olympic Peninsula and near the mouth of the Columbia River. This year's work will build on the success of 2022 when Spartina was eradicated at five additional sites, bringing the total number of eradicated sites to 76.
