The White Salmon River is Free. What Next?

Posted on February 19, 2012 by

With a free flowing White Salmon River restored, salmon and steelhead will finally be returning after a century absence.

Bob Ferguson for Attorney General

Posted on February 7, 2012 by

For those of you who missed last night’s meeting, we were so fortunate to have Bob Ferguson address the group. He and his manager were on their way from Seattle to Tri Cities and Spokane, making a swing through our neck of the woods. We were all impressed, with both his qualifications and presentation, and will vote at next month’s meeting to endorse him. Please check out his website, www.electbobferguson.com, and you can also find him on Facebook. If you can send a little donation his way, it will help a lot! You can donate online or pick up a donation envelope at the next meeting.
