Remember that time, last July or August, when you caught a view of the Puget Sound out of the corner of your eye… maybe above Pike Place Market. Maybe crossing a ferry to Bainbridge. Maybe at Discovery Park. And you just thought to yourself ‘Wow.’

Hold that memory in your head. Now imagine what this region would be without Puget Sound. If you voted for the Pike Place Market property tax levy because of the

Puget Sound

 market’s intrinsic value to this community, then imagine how much more intrinsic is that body of water that is an environmental and economic driver of the Pacific Northwest.

Guess what, it’s sick. It’s really, really sick. So sick, the Puget Sound Partnership has spent the last 18 months figuring out what it would take to cure it with its draft action agenda. But hold your horses, the document is still only a draft and is ready to change based on your comments.

If you care about the sound… or would like to have future memories with the sound in it, I’d read my story in the DJC tomorrow, check the action agenda out here, and start investigating the issue and how you can make a difference. It’s worth it.
