Fighting for Cleaner Water in Puget Sound

"Gov. Chris Gregoire declared that cleanup efforts had failed and ordered a turnaround by September 2012. In what state officials are calling an unprecedented effort, more than 20 organizations have come together in an attempt to clean up Samish Bay by the governor's deadline. In May, the Puget Sound Partnership, a state agency created four years ago to lead cleanup efforts, released a 10-point plan for the bay. Among other things, it calls for stepped-up inspections, portable restrooms for recreationists, more fencing and more education of dairy farmers and other landowners." - excerpts from article in The Seattle Times.
