Puget Sound cleanup promoted by governor at Des Moines Marina
Last year at Des Moines Beach Park, Gov. Chris Gregoire signed legislation creating the Puget Sound Partnership tasked with the job of cleaning up Puget Sound.
On July 24, Gregoire returned to the park, as part of a two-day, seven-stop tour to reiterate the importance of a clean Puget Sound to Washington's economy and culture. The visit was sponsored by Gregoire's re-election committee.
The goal of the partnership is to clean Puget Sound by 2020, Gregoire said.
