When the endangered species act came into play, we realized we had

a problem. So as caretakers of the land, we have an obligation to do

something. But when you have big developments saying we should be

allowed to build without further studies, it does not figure.

And they also say, once we do build and it does become a

problem, we will deal with it then. It still

doesn’t figure.

People, this is not a King Dome we’re dealing with here (which we

are still paying for).

This is an endangered species we’re talking about, where big

developments are building or will build right above natural spawning grounds.

As a concerned citizen, I hope King County Council will take a

better look at this and not overlook it.
