The agency tasked with saving Puget Sound wants your input. Puget Sound Partnership will hold public forums throughout the region to glean citizen opinion on what is wrong with the Sound, and how to fix it. Says David Dicks, executive director of the Partnership, "It's important that the people who live and work on Puget Sound play a role in bringing it back to health."
Each forum is structured as two sessions: One for those inclined to participate in hands-on workshops, followed by a general public discussion.
