I’m struggling with the premise of this story. The property in question sits within an officially designated wetland and regulated floodplain, and the complaint is essentially that the land is now… wet. Wetlands are supposed to hold water. Floodplains are supposed to absorb floodwater. Vegetation, woody debris, and even beaver activity are natural parts of these systems and can provide important habitat, water-quality, and downstream flood-control benefits. Turning every creek into a neatly cleared drainage ditch simply moves water somewhere else. If Pierce County’s management has artificially worsened flooding, absolutely investigate it. If a private well is contaminated, test it and determine the source. But “my wetland is swampy” by itself is not evidence of government mismanagement. Sometimes the environmentally responsible thing is allowing a wetland to function like a wetland. We need to make a conscious effort to protect and embrace our wetlands and floodplains.

Husband is a HVAC Journeyman with 6 years experience and has about 3 years of HVAC control experience. He is also apart of the UA unuion if that helps. Is the job market robust for guys in the HVAC trades? I'm seeing alot of union plumbers are on the out of work list but does that apply the the Hvac guys? Thanks in advance!!

NO LONGER AVAILABLE Anyone want a ticket to the Running With Scissors tour (cavetown/chloe moriondo), tomorrow night in Seattle? Super sadly, I can no longer use my ticket. 💖

Hiiiii!!! My husband and I are taking a spur of the moment 3 day trip to Seattle. We’ve never been, and are most excited for the possibility of seeing whales! 🐳 looking for recommendations for companies or people to take us on a boat tour. Also any other ideas for things we should do or places to eat (vegan) 🤗🤗🤗 thank you!!!

There are a lot of coffee shops in the u district. I am looking for one that is cozy and has comfortable chairs. Ideally I would love it if they have good food too.

I make my own originals and photography , I am new to the area and looking where to be able to sell.

Was planning on staying at this hotel and they canceled my stay and the phone number is no longer in service

Hey guys, if I am looking for a Hematology/Oncology dr in Tacoma, where could I find them? I am not actually a patient, I am looking to hire doctors in that area and offer them a part time job. What job boards, avenues would one use to find such doctors who'd be looking for such opportunities?
