Three wild, free-flowing rivers in Washington state are one step - TopicsExpress

Three wild, free-flowing rivers in Washington state are one step closer to permanent protection under the Wild & Scenic Rivers Act: the Middle Fork Snoqualmie and Pratt rivers and Illabot Creek! It will now move on to the Senate. It would protect an additional 22,000 acres of wilderness adjoining the existing Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area, and would add 10 miles of the Pratt River and nearly 30 miles of the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.
