Christian HaselbachMy father-in-law visited us and I took him on a #bicycle tour through #Renton, along the #Duwamish River to #WestSeattle. We ended up using 4 modes of transportation: #cycling, #waterTaxi, #bus, and #train (and a bit of walking). The bicycle is just a great way to explore the city.

PeachMcD"...the company described the #Duwamish River as 'a natural collector for Boeing’s fluid wastes' in a 1950 magazine article Boeing produced for its employees. #Boeing said at the time that it had a handle on the situation — asserting, for example, that some of its most volatile waste would be neutralized by chemicals released by other polluters"

The Cleanup of Seattle’s Only River Could Cost Boeing and Taxpayers $1 Billion. Talks Over Who Will Pay Most Are Secret.
The company once described the Duwamish, one of the country’s most contaminated waterways, as “a natural collector” for its wastes. The Port of Seattle and Boeing accuse each other of failing to pay their fair shares for the cleanup.
Bob SverclI just finished reading "The River That Made Seattle: A Human & Natural History of the Duwamish" by BJ Cummings, founder of the Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition.
It's a fantastic retelling of the history of the Duwamish people, Duwamish River, incoming industry & ongoing pollution, and the fight for environmental justice to protect Duwamish Valley residents & clean up the river from the past to 2020 when it was published.
