A few weeks old, but still worth noting, if you haven’t already. Thanks to the Lower Elwha S’Klallam for doing the right thing. It was worrisome when we heard that they were thinking of doing this. And thanks to the folks from these various NGOs for getting this done. A great win all around. Nice to actually see folks come together and agree to do something positive, rather than just fight it out in courts, or the press, yes?
