The feds are taking a big step toward finishing the work of cleaning up the highly-contaminated Duwamish River.
The feds are earmarking $290 million to dredge the Duwamish River, which is something activists have demanded for years.
“The Duwamish Rowing Club rows here,” said Dagmar Cronn, a local resident. “There are different kinds of animals and birds that have a right to be here. I just saw three otters on the banks a few days ago.” Those pollutants can be all too real for South Park residents. Last December’s King Tides washed over nearly everything in its wake, leaving much of the community a soggy, contaminated mess.
