Dear William Shatner,
NO YOU CAN NOT HAVE THE WATER WE NEED FOR OURSELVES.

At City Light our benchmark for a crappy water year was 2001. This year, snow pack just reached that level, but has been melting quicker. However, precipitation as a whole is pretty average. The saving grace has been Canadian precipitation on both the Skagit and Pend Oreille. Closer to town, the North Cascades situation has been pretty grim, snow-wise.

Glacier lilies! Cool!

So much for William Shatner's plan to divert all of our 'extra' water to California...

Isn't drought for Washington like normal for anywhere else.

I like sunny weather myself, and not just 3 weeks per year of it.

If Cali would stop using 4 times the water per person that Seattle does, it might be manageable for them too.

I think they get confused by it being green from our local plants & trees that use less water than their water wasting lawns and swimming pools.

@7: I don't have a swimming pool. I do have a bath with funky jets though. Please don't begrudge me my Saturday night fun time.

No. We're talking snowpack issues. As noted in the article our rain is not as much of an issue.

Unless you felt living in Seattle meant you were overburdened by too much snow in the mountains, you completely missed the point.

As a matter of fact, I do feel that way.

Being able to build on mountainous land by piercing the snow by and pushing back the GMA boundaries appropriately, would let more people get in on the land deals reserved only to the long-timers around here.

It's the opening statement for pleading for higher taxes.

Please wait...
