WA cities face unprecedented water cuts amid drought Never before has drought forced the state to cut off water sources for entire cities.

Yakima’s adjudication left a safety net: groundwater.

After 13 quarters, a business columnist closes the books | Cascadia Daily News CDN contributor Frank Catalano’s departing observations

All things end. Including, now, deadlines. After more than three years, I'm ending my regular business contributions to Cascadia Daily News.

Thank you, CDN. Because #journalism.

This is what we need in #WhatcomCounty that we don't have yet. It's through collaboration that we can work on projects to best manage our water resources.
