Pollution creates the deadliest catch. Our fish are sick. Studies show Puget Sound is one of most polluted bodies of water on the West Coast. We have the proof, but local government’s hands appear tied. Why?
Local fish here are loaded with unhealthy toxins pumped into the sound by waterside manufacturing plants, even untreated […]
March of the Safety Cones. Lush growth spurred by warm weather heralds “Street Repair Season” in downtown Seattle. Healthy tree roots are no match for crumbling underground drainpipes.

Beckoning a new Goldrush era and feverently anticipating a lucrative biotechnology industry, Seattle City Council removed the building height limits voters put into place 17 years ago.
