ABOUT METHOW VALLEY CITIZENS COUNCIL: The mission of the Methow Valley Citizens Council is to raise a strong community voice for the protection of the Methow Valley’s natural environment and rural character. Established in 1976, MVCC has since garnered strong community support as advocates for progressive land use and environmental values in the Methow Valley. The healthy rural character of this community – with low-density development, considerable open space, and clean air and water – has been preserved in significant part through MVCC’s advocacy on land use planning and public land issues. Today, MVCC maintains its role as a watchdog organization, while lending its expertise in distilling complex issues and convening constructive dialogue to local and regional coalition-building efforts.
