Counties like Clark will receive the minimum $100,000, while only Okanogan County will get the maximum $12 million. Payment totals to counties were based on the amount of federally owned land in a county, as well as a series of poverty indicators including household income, unemployment rate and land value. For tribes, payments were based largely on the number of enrolled members, with a slight adjustment based on unemployment rates.

The payments will start flowing this year. Washingtonians can use this chart to see what their community will receive to combat the epidemic. Half of the money from these resolutions will be paid to eligible Washington cities and counties, with the first payment to be made before the end of the year. The remainder of the money goes to the state. All of this money must be used to fund opioid remediation.

The plan is required as part of the process of getting the dams relicensed by the federal government. This comes after years of conflict with tribes who say the three Skagit dams are getting in the way of the salmon. If successful, the fish passage plan would reintroduce salmon to a habitat they haven't visited for more than 50 years.
