The Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission (NWIFC) serves as a natural resources management support organization for 20 treaty Indian tribes in western Washington, including the Nisqually and Skokomish tribes, among others. Established following the landmark 1974 U.S. v. Washington ruling, known as the Boldt Decision, the NWIFC emphasizes the co-management of natural resources, particularly salmon, between the tribes and the State of Washington.

Headquartered in Olympia, the NWIFC employs approximately 80 staff members and operates satellite offices in Burlington and Forks. The commission focuses on a range of environmental protection efforts, fisheries management, and sustainable resource practices to ensure the health of local ecosystems and the rights of treaty tribes.
