Seattle Times - Failing Our Sound

The Seattle Times published four hard-hitting articles from May 11 - May 14 on specific issues that compromise the health of the Puget Sound.

  • Part 1. The painful cost of booming growth
  • Part 2. Saving wetlands: a broken promise
  • Part 3. Beach bulkheads come in different sizes and shapes
  • Part 4. Paying landowners to protect Puget Sound
  • Comments -- Are we striking the right balance between protecting the Sound and making room for growth?
