Series about Puget Sound continues

  • Post author:Tiffany Royal
  • Post published:March 5, 2007
  • Post category:NWIFC Blog

The Olympian continued its coverage on the health of Puget Sound, with the focus this week on how septic systems and housing has affected Hood Canal and how the Skokomish Tribe is dealing with the declining health of its home waterway.

Stories include how new tribal housing will be constructed away from Hood Canal and how Hood Canal is a model for other areas of Puget Sound that could be facing the same problems.
