The furry creatures down at the wetlands park this wet morning were unaware of the moon launch or war in the Middle East, they are not going to watch a demented racist prez on network news. Neither am I. #Hiking #AltText

I know people say if you're going to No Kings or any other protest you need to do this and that, or list all the things you should do, but really all you need to do is show up and walk around for a bit.

Really. Just another body there sends a message.

It's not scary, you don't have to do anything. Just show up and hang out with some nice people for a while.

We’re doing this!
The US Army Corps of Engineers awarded the $691M construction contract for the juvenile salmon downstream fish passage project at Hanson Dam on the Green River. This is a huge milestone reached toward salmon recovery in Puget Sound!

I’ve been working on this since my first day at USACE in 2005. The project went on hold in 2011 due to budget issues. We are back on track, so this will be the biggest project of my career.
