Weekend Listen: A crumbling levee in Snohomish County needs repairs, how our national wildland fire chief is thinking about fire season, and Brazilian birds are migrating to Tacoma
About this episode
Today, we’re bringing you the best from the KUOW Newsroom…
First, officials in Snohomish County are seeking emergency permission to fix a crumbling levee near the city of Stanwood.
Next, and this fire season is poised to be historic – not just because of the record-low snowpack and unprecedented spring heat. It will also be the first for the U.S. Wildland Fire Service.
And finally, every spring, purple martins fly to Tacoma. The migratory birds travel over six-thousand miles from Brazil to breed here.
