In a rare stroke of bi-partisanship the U.S. Senate passed the most significant piece of legislation to protect new Wild and Scenic Rivers in more than 5 years! Thank you to Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell and Congressman Dave Reichert for working with local stakeholders and businesses to protect the Snoqualmie MF and Pratt rivers and Illabot Creek! Wild and Scenic designation for Illabot Creek will permanently protect its clean, cold waters and crucial spawning habitat for threatened wild Chinook salmon, steelhead, and bull trout, as well as pink, coho, sockeye, and chum salmon. The Skagit River watershed supports one of the largest wintering bald eagle concentrations in the lower 48 states.
