April 3
Seattle Sites of the Day:



People for Puget Sound's Habitat Project

Duwamish Estuary Stewardship Project

"Restoration sites include Puget Creek, Hamm Creek, the Turning Basin, Kenco Marine, Seaboard Lumber, Duwamish Waterway Park and North Wind's Weir. These sites join... GSA, Terminal 105... All of the projects above include elements of saltmarsh restoration - habitat that is crucial for chinook salmon survival.

"Restoration projects... will need ongoing stewardship in order to become successful, especially during the first five years while plants become established. By involving local citizens and businesses in working on and monitoring restoration sites, we hope to create a legacy of stewardship for the Duwamish Estuary."

K. Fink: Account of My Trip from Seattle to Seattle

"... as a reward to myself for surviving 6 months after breaking up with Suzanne, I took a trip from Seattle, WA to Seattle, WA, via New York. I also passed through Cow Creek, Los Angeles, Yellowstone National Park, Buffalo Gap, New York City, Pittsburgh, and many other large and small places."
