Millions of gallons of raw sewage and untreated runoff have poured into the United States' second-largest estuary since a massive sewage treatment plant experienced equipment failures that forced it to stop fully treating Seattle's waste.

The county-run facility has been hobbling along at about half-capacity since the Feb. 9 electrical failure resulted in catastrophic flooding that damaged an underground network of pumps, motors, electric panels and other gear.


Shut Seattle down! The environmental purists that live in that fair city have been violating the Clean Water Act and the Waters of the United States Act for almost 3 months.

These things appear to be frequently (as in virtually always) associated with liberals.

Figures, not?

Quick, get a court order that the people who use that system stop crapping, etc.

Dumped right into the libtards of Seattle’s back yard pool. Too bad. Take the culprits to court and lock ‘em up.

Or, let men poop in the little girl’s room. Yeah, that’s what really matters.

The bluest sky you’ve ever seen, in Seattle.
And the hills the greenest green, in Seattle.
Like a beautiful child
Growing up, free and wild.
Full of hopes and full of fears,
Full of laughter, full of tears,
Full of dreams to last a year
In Seattle.

When you find your own true love you will know it
By his smile, by the look in his eyes.
Scent of pine trees in the air
Boys all stand around and stare
Look out everyone, Here Come the Brides.

Oh good point! The EPA needs to levy HUGE fines on them. Public shaming would be especially fun too

A 10 million dollar fine per day sounds about right.

Beautiful and rare Orca whales frolic in the Sound now and then. When they do, passenger ferries slow way down, everyone runs on deck to see them. I lived there for years, really do think it’s a gorgeous place and should not be ruined by the Seattle morons.

Seattle environmental groups protest Trump cabinet picks

A day before confirmation hearings officially begin, Seattle environmental activists took their concerns straight to the Senators who now hold the power to challenge President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet choices.

“What we need now is more than understanding,” said Ben Smith of Greenpeace USA. “We need more than just posting on social media. We’re going to need them using any tool in government; we’re going to need them to speak out more openly about where is the line.”

What you sanctimonious Seattle environmental twits need to do is quit pooping in the bay.

we've got the SJW's all over the NW, Spokane to Seattle protesting the trains for moving coal, or natural gas, or the trucks carrying stuff and God forbid we have a pipeline that would carry this stuff.but no....we can't have any commerce because of the SAFETY issues and the the tiny small possibility of a spill ....

and then you have this happen in Seattle....

Get an injunction prohibiting the folks in Seattle from flushing. Issue cardboard barrels and plastic bags (remember the fallout shelters) and make the residents store the waste until the plant is fixed.
