Sad for My Dog, and for Seattle

Beach closed 2013We walk by this spot almost every day. It’s our neighborhood in Seattle, a place to enjoy nature in the midst of city life in 21st-century America.

Or is it?

Take Care of It or Lose It

Protect it or lose itTragic—the only word for it. This is my neighborhood, where I walk my dog, Alki, every day. Beach closed because of contamination from a condominium built out over the water. Sometimes things happen that we can’t prevent. This one we could have, with city administrators who think ahead, and think of everyone. Everything. All life.

Be careful where you build, and how you build it.
