Equity in Practice

At Aquario, we are committed to creating an environment where people of all backgrounds are welcomed, respected, and able to contribute meaningfully. We recognize that long-standing inequities have shaped our shared history and continue to affect water, stormwater, and wastewater infrastructure today.

We support project teams in advancing fair, community-centered outcomes through candid conversations, practical strategies, and actionable plans tailored to each project.

As a minority-owned firm, we value working with teams that embrace varied perspectives and experiences. Complex infrastructure challenges are best addressed through thoughtful collaboration that centenrs on the communities we serve.

Across our projects, we also aim to pay it forward by prioritizing employment opportunities and teaming partnerships with small and disadvantaged businesses. Aquario is a certified DBE, SBE, LGBTBE, and King County SCS firm.
