"Failing our Sound" Special Report
May 11-14 Seattle Times special report on Puget Sound health
May 11-14, 2008
A Seattle Times Special Report | We pledged to protect Puget Sound. We've passed laws and spent millions to preserve it. Yet we keep sabotaging it.
The Sound is by no means dead. By some measures it's cleaner and healthier than it was 30 years ago. Yet that progress is at risk because we're still betraying Puget Sound with the choices we make about developing the land. It's not because people are breaking the rules. The rules are simply inadequate for the task at hand.
