What is all the clamor about cleaning up Budd Inlet? It appears that Budd Inlet is at the extreme south end of Puget Sound, and thus may not benefit from the cleaning action of the tides. Who will benefit from the Budd Inlet cleanup? Will Budd Inlet become one giant public swimming pool? Are the local fishing interests being forced out of business because of the polluted condition of Budd Inlet? "Cleaning" up Budd Inlet will most likely mean dredging Budd Inlet. Ever wonder what will be done with the dredgings?? Is the Port using the focus of Inlet cleanup to achieve deepening of and access to their Port piers?? As for project transparency and accountability, neither exist. As several responders have noted, this "cleanup effort" has been going on for years -- with little or not progress. Don't worry about cleaning up the Inlet -- simply blow the Capital Lake dam and let the Deschutes reclaim the land.
