In 2025, the RE Store diverted an estimated 2.88 million pounds of materials program-wide - an 11% increase over 2024 - through retail sales, store donations, item pickups, contract salvage services, and manufacturing waste diversion partnerships with local businesses. Our Salvage Services team completed 19 jobs, recovering high-quality architectural materials that would otherwise be lost to demolition and remodel waste, and continued refining salvage into a reproducible regional model through participation in a local construction and demolition summit. Our Manufacturing Waste Diversion program added four new business partners in 2025, diverting an estimated 103,844 pounds of materials. The RE Store also creates pathways to green jobs through our Community Jobs Training Program, where 65 participants logged 3,815 hours of hands-on training in 2025. Ninety percent of participants who complete the program find employment or enroll in college. 71670 0 0 Northsound Waterkeeper: RE Sources serves as the Northsound Waterkeeper, filling critical water quality knowledge gaps that public agencies lack the capacity to address - providing the science necessary to keep Northwest Washington's waters safe for swimming and shellfish harvesting. In 2025, 19 volunteers conducted monthly water quality testing of four urban creeks and ten outfalls flowing into Bellingham Bay, sampling in all weather conditions to provide consistent, reliable data on stormwater - the Salish Sea's largest source of pollution. Our Year 4 Stormwater Summary Report found that all monitored outfalls and creeks failed to meet water quality standards at least once during the sampling period. This marked our third consecutive year testing for PFAS (forever chemicals) during the first fall flush; while fewer sites showed high concentrations, the median total of PFAS has increased each year. Staff monitored six lakes for harmful algal blooms monthly, reporting findings to Whatcom County Health and Human Services and Western Washington University. We published four white papers on the state of water quality, bacteria, PFAS, and pollution in Bellingham Bay. Joined by 230 volunteers, we hosted six beach cleanups and four paddle sweeps, removing more than 3,300 pounds of trash from local waterways. 383172 300 0 Land, Water, and Climate Advocacy: RE Sources advocates for the forests, watersheds, and climate policies that protect Northwest Washington's land and water for generations to come. In 2025, we convened monthly strategy sessions with more than 30 Forest Watch coalition members and continued monitoring DNR's implementation of the "Forest Forward" executive order, which proposes conservation of 77,000 acres of Structurally Complex Forest across Western Washington, including critical parcels in Whatcom County. We supported robust public engagement on the Lake Whatcom Forest Management Plan - a draft plan to manage nearly 12,000 acres of forest land in the Lake Whatcom watershed for water quality and climate resilience - and continued supporting the Lake Whatcom Policy Group in addressing key issues raised during public comment. We celebrated the installation of the first-ever off-season boat launch gate at Bloedel Donovan Park, an additional protection for Bellingham's drinking water supply. RE Sources also advocated for climate resilience through comprehensive plan updates in Whatcom and Skagit Counties and the City of Anacortes. Our priorities were incorporated into the final Skagit County Comprehensive Plan, which includes a new Climate Element with forward-thinking guidelines for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to climate impacts including sea level rise and hazardous flooding. 139253 0 0 Educating for the Environment: Our work to build a community of informed advocates requires investing in youth - not only as future leaders, but as active contributors to a sustainable Northwest Washington right now. In 2025, RE Sources provided six elementary schools with waste assessments, diverting more than 30 cubic yards of garbage from the landfill monthly, and provided custodial training and tools to help Whatcom County schools navigate the Organics Management Law. Our Youth for the Environment and People (YEP!) program directly served 28 high school students across two after-school cohorts. In this student-led program, participants designed and carried out community action projects that built leadership and advocacy skills, increasing their confidence and knowledge in creating real community change. 139253 0 0 1506056 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 6 0 1 35 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 WA X Janet Marino 3607338307 2309 Meridian St Bellingham WA 98225 Ander Russell co-Executive Director 36 0 X X 105000 0 8127 Janet Marino co-Executive Director 36 0 X X 105000 0 7887 Jay Kosa co-Executive Director 36 0 X X 72917 0 5447 Edward Ted Wolf President/Treasurer 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Erica Littlewood Vice President 3.0 0 X X 0 0 0 Alison Merz Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 John Bosche Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Susan Burke Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Fletcher Wilkinson Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Kristin Frontiera Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Callum McSherry Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Teizeen Mohamedali Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Kim Pugel Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 282917 0 21461 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 266836 1285795 48459 1552631 Salvage & deconstruction 900099 142407 142407 0 0 0 0 0 0 142407 470 0 0 470 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1005 0 0 0 1005 0 1005 0 0 1005 416 0 479 0 -63 0 -63 0 0 -63 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 815751 152516 663235 663235 0 0 Credit card fee income 900099 16885 16885 0 0 Honorarium for presentation 900099 250 250 0 0 Recycling income 900099 1783 1783 0 0 0 0 0 0 18918 2378603 824560 0 1412 300 300 0 0 0 0 0 0 304378 243502 30438 30438 0 0 0 0 1081770 836592 45493 199685 5004 3058 892 1054 115975 87299 9023 19653 145796 113261 10950 21585 0 0 0 0 563 0 563 0 75000 0 75000 0 0 0 0 0 11911 11911 1760 0 1760 0 8534 8534 0 0 1647 1647 0 0 38385 15007 1611 21767 7216 1888 5146 182 0 0 0 0 90596 33232 57364 0 9430 8399 1027 4 0 0 0 0 15868 4062 1370 10436 48790 39032 4879 4879 0 0 0 0 53224 42524 5350 5350 79709 31884 47825 0 Credit card and other fees 35575 26061 9364 150 Taxes & licenses 10010 9774 236 0 Government lender fees 2019 0 2019 0 0 0 0 0 2143460 1506056 310310 327094 131745 248601 3483 20059 47892 36854 120899 101162 0 0 0 0 0 0 61364 61364 14966 43811 2961540 1059907 1954857 1901633 1955 2419 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2337161 2415903 213306 249774 4625 0 390 110 0 0 0 0 156116 90000 1067068 950072 84887 79995 0 1526392 1369951 X 699240 983433 111529 62519 810769 1045952 2337161 2415903 235143 40 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 1505267 1632919 1410241 1488901 1552631 7589959 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1505267 1632919 1410241 1488901 1552631 7589959 96304 7493655 1138 770 3862 1841 1475 9086 0 0 0 0 0 0 17446 12095 18459 18856 18918 85774 7684819 3857430 0.97512 0.89299 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Other income is comprised of credit card fee surcharges, honorarium for a presentation, and income from recycling donated metal.

The ERC reflects expenses originally incurred to retain RE Store staff during the COVID-19 shutdown. Two loans, totaling $50,000, are low-interest, documented by written agreements, and structured for repayment upon receipt of the ERC. A third loan of $100,000 is structured as a low-interest installment loan with a $20,000 annual repayment schedule. These loans reflect the board's personal commitment to protecting RE Sources staff and operations during a period of federal payment delays.
