- North Cascades glaciers victims of climate change
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times
  Lyman Glacier, sitting just below 8,459-foot Chiwawa Peak, is dying. Nearby, Spider Glacier is already gone. The scientist who pronounced it dead three years ago thinks one-third of the glaciers in the North Cascades - including Lyman - are doomed. Mauri Pelto says the other two-thirds may have a chance, if the world does something to stop climate change.

- Orca recovery effort: more of the same
  Posted by Jeff from Crosscut
  A plan to save Puget Sound orcas calls for $50 million spent over 28 years but amounts to doing no more than we're already doing. Meanwhile, no one knows why the orca population is declining, and the only clear culprit is a lack of their favorite food: chinook salmon. A moratorium on chinook fishing may be the only solution.

- Water may split state into 'haves,' 'have-nots'
  Posted by Jeff from Oregon Live
  The Pacific Northwest faces an intense tug of war over vanishing water supplies if the region continues to warm as forecasts show, dividing people west of the Cascades from those east as water "haves" and "have-nots." And even abundant water west of the Cascades may be stretched as people fleeing from drier, hotter regions of the U.S. find refuge here.

- El Niño could cause Northwest drought, mild winter elsewhere, forecasters say
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times
  Drier than normal is anticipated in the Tennessee Valley, northern Rockies, Pacific Northwest and Hawaii. "Other regions have equal chances of drier, wetter or near-normal precipitation," the agency said. Not goog news for Northwest skiers

- Judge blocks Northwest flight attendants from going on strike
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times
  U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero said he will issue an injunction to allow time for him to examine the case. He said Northwest made a "persuasive case" that a delay in any strike was necessary so that the legal issues could be resolved.

I don't think Vancouver should try to trademark it. Better be known for being the city of ecodensity rather than trademarkdensity.
