Water shapes life, and life in our region depends on clean water throughout the Puget Sound. It’s where salmon fight their way home, where orcas breach along the coastline, and where people across our region gather to work, learn, and play. For more than 50 years, King County’s wastewater system has faithfully protected these waters behind the scenes, stewarding precious resources every hour of every day. https://lnkd.in/emC8xb6a
