Councilmember Dow Constantine’s statement on Glacier Northwest and Maury Island


Metropolitan King County Councilmember Dow Constantine, whose district includes Maury Island, released this statement regarding the announcement that King County will be issuing a permit allowing Glacier Northwest to proceed with construction of a barge loading facility on Maury Island:

“This is a sad day for everyone who has worked to aid in the recovery of Puget Sound. It is ironic that King County is allowing construction to commence on a major shoreline strip mine in the same week that the Puget Sound Partnership issued its action agenda to rescue the Sound from precisely this kind of destruction.”
