Washington State Department of Community, Trade and Economic
Development (CTED)
CTED assists in the building and sustaining of strong social,
environmental and economic foundations. We work to ensure
a sustainable and prosperous future for all of Washington's
citizens. The Housing Services, Community Services, and Local
Government divisions address a wide range of issues facing
communities, from farm worker housing and historic preservation,
to early childhood education and growth management. The Economic
Development, International Trade, Energy Policy and WorkFirst
divisions address the promotion of job creation, two-way trade,

Energy Policy Division
The Energy Policy Division provides leadership, information,
analysis and support for energy decisions that deliver an
economically and environmentally sound energy future to the
state of Washington and its citizens.
Energy choices lie at the heart of many of our state's most
pressing economic and environmental challenges. At the same
time, sound energy decisions present many of our most attractive
opportunities for economic development and environmental improvement.
Whether the question is the fate of the salmon or the competitiveness
of our industries, the comfort of our homes or the stability
of the climate, the answers are often found in the ways we
produce, deliver, price, and use energy. The mission of the
Energy Policy Division is to provide credible information,
solid analysis, and clear policy direction to form the basis
for sound energy decisions.
