Scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius) harms ecosystems primarily by outcompeting native plant species for resources such as sunlight, water, and nutrients, leading to reduced biodiversity. Its rapid growth and dense thickets can alter soil chemistry and structure, making it difficult for native flora to thrive. Additionally, scotch broom can increase fire risk due to its high flammability, further threatening local wildlife habitats and ecosystem stability.

Scotch broom is a Class B Noxious Weed in Washington State. Control is recommended in King County, but not required except for along I-90 east of mile post 34 and on Highway 2 where it dips down into King County before crossing Stevens Pass, in order to reduce its spread to neighboring Kittitas and Chelan Counties.
