Amanda Wilcox Goodin is a supervising senior attorney with Earthjustice’s Northwest office, and has been an attorney with Earthjustice since 2008.

Amanda has litigated regional and national matters that seek to promote a rapid and equitable transition from fossil fuels to clean energy, protect endangered Pacific salmon and orcas (Southern Resident Killer Whales), and institute financial responsibility requirements to ensure the worst polluters clean up hazardous spills quickly and thoroughly.
