\n  It’s Your Sound<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Think of
\nthe Northwest and we think of water. Water dominates our landscape
\nand our history. Nearly three million of us live on dozens of
\nrivers and lakes, thousands of creeks, along the shorelines of
\nPuget Sound, and in the cities that have grown up along those
\nwaterways. A healthy Sound provides recreation and supports industries.
\nIt serves as our highways and feeds our families. We share the
\nregion with a vast array of aquatic and wetland plants and animals
\nwhose survival depends on the purity of the Sound’s waters.<\/span><\/p>\n

The
\nwater that finds its way into the Puget Sound drains from countless
\nparcels of property like yours in 12 counties. The need to be
\nconcerned about the waters of Puget Sound is a relatively new
\none. In most areas, damage from pollution and misuse of Puget
\nSound has not been highly visible. Yet pollution poses a serious
\nthreat to the Puget Sound and declines in the number and kinds
\nof fish and shellfish are cause for concern.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

WE
\nCAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! <\/span>  That’s
\nthe point of this guide — what we do every day makes a difference
\nfor Puget Sound. Use the suggestions in this guide at home. Then
\napply the same ideas at work and in your community. Now is the
\ntime to act together to live a “Sound life-style.” Thank you for
\nreading and caring.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/b><\/span>If
\nyou live within the boundaries of this area, this book’s for you…<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps you
\ndon’t live on the shoreline of Puget Sound. You may be wondering
\nhow this booklet applies to you. When we talk about Puget Sound,
\nwe need to include more than the body of saltwater extending from
\nsouth of Olympia to north of Bellingham. From an ecological perspective,
\n“Puget Sound” is the entire watershed — everything that drains
\nwest from the crest of the Cascades or east from the Olympic Mountains
\ncan find its way into Puget Sound. If we aren’t careful clearing
\nland near the Duckabush River or don’t maintain our septic tank
\nin Carnation, the impact may be felt all along the water’s route
\nto the Sound. Our actions at home and on our land can extend hundreds
\nof miles beyond our fences.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
