Washington state is facing a conundrum on the open water. A tool to reduce air pollution from ships can result in water pollution. And a proposal to untangle that paradox ran aground this winter in the Washington Legislature for the second year in a row.
Semi-retired KUOW reporter Tom Banse wrote about the issue recently for the Salish Current. He talked to KUOW’s Paige Browning about his reporting.

Hey #Seattle #Tacoma #PugetSound any one looking for a #FediHire ? Someone moving out here needs our help!

Some pics from my latest dive in Anacortes, WA (USA).

Visibility was terrible, and I'm still an amateur at taking pictures, but I'm kinda satisfied about the results.

Today was a challenging day. While I wanted to participate in the anti monarch movement, it was also the day that they opened up the floating bridge on Lake Washington for the light rail line. So I went to that instead.

It was insane the amount of people who showed up for the train. You had full three trains of cars just to load up the first group. There were 4 units per train, which is about double its normal running size. #pugetsound #lightrail #kingcounty #seattle

Mystery orcas return to Seattle area

The mystery orcas are back in town.
