If you haven't had a chance to read about the Duwamish, take the time

I've been reading bits and pieces of it as this wonderful three-part series on the Duwamish moved through the week. The first part ran Monday, followed by Tuesday and Wednesday packages about a river that once was teeming with wildlife, and now is one of the most polluted rivers in the nation.

Yet, there are still salmon that swim upstream and wildlife that manage to live on or near its banks. There are still groups like Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition, that work to save the river and land around it. And on Wednesday, prompted by this series, Sen. Patty Murray said she would start to ride the EPA to really do something about this river's cleanup. Hopefully this isn't so much political blustering.
