The tour was also an opportunity to welcome important leaders to the site, including Stillaguamish Tribal Councilmember Kadi Bizyayeva, Stillaguamish Tribal Councilmember Gary Tatro, Tulalip Tribal Councilmember Marlin Fryberg Jr., Congressman Rick Larsen, Snohomish County Executive Dave Somers, Everett Mayor Cassie Franklin, and congressional staff from both the U.S. House and Senate.
We stood side by side with our key partners on the project—the Stillaguamish Tribe, the Tulalip Tribes and the WA Dept of Fish and Wildlife—to talk about the benefits of estuary restoration at Port Susan Bay and zis a ba II, and the impact it will have for people and Puget Sound Chinook salmon recovery.
