Skagit Valley, WA. Tullip Festival. Mount Vernon. 30 March 2019
Our trip to Skagit Valley tulip fields. End of March and beginning of April is too early for tulips but good time for daffodils. Lovely view on endless fields of flowers. After Skagit Valley we had a small tour by Mount Vernon.
Mount Vernon is the county seat of Skagit County, Washington, United States. The population was 31,743 at the 2010 census. It is one of two principal cities of and included in the Mount Vernon-Anacortes, Washington Metropolitan Statistical Area. Downtown Mount Vernon is known for its annual Tulip Festival Street Fair, which is part of the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. The climate of Skagit County is similar to that of Northern France, with millions of tulips grown in the Skagit Valley. In 1998, Mount Vernon was rated the #1 Best Small City in America by the New Rating Guide to Life in America's Small Cities

25,000 Volts Under the Sea: Laying of the San Juan Cable (1952)
This BPA film tells the story of the world's longest single-length submarine high-voltage cable, which delivered electric power from the Columbia River to the San Juan Islands in Washington state in 1951. The project, designed and carried out by BPA, involved laying four and a half miles of 25,000-volt electric transmission cable (conductor) across Rosario Strait from Anacortes to Decatur Island. Other facets included installing a wood pole line on the island, followed by another two-mile submarine power cable to Lopez Island. The project cost $600,000 and was considered a major technological achievement at the time. This BPA film, also known as The Laying of the San Juan Cable, shows the planning, engineering, transportation and installation of the submarine cable. The cable, which was four and two-thirds inches in diameter and weighed 19 pounds per foot for a total of nearly three-quarter of a million pounds, was wound for shipping in one continuous 7.5-mile length. The film also includes an animated model that demonstrates how the cable was carried inside the ship. The project began April 17, 1951, and Orcas Power and Light Cooperative began receiving power from BPA on July 22, 1951.
Cable failures in the 1960s led to a second cable installation in 1966 and a third in 1972.

Time Lapse - Bellingham, Washington to Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal (near Vancouver, BC, Canada)
June 5, 2016 - The second half of my Sunday Drive into Washington State! Starting at the Wal-Mart Parking Lot in Mount Vernon, I head north along Interstate 5 with a short side-trip into Downtown Bellingham for a few purchases, before arriving back at my home and native land, Canada. The trip ends with a trip into the middle of the ocean (or, more correctly, Strait of Georgia), the location of the BC Ferries' Tsawwassen Terminal. From here you can drive on board and head to Victoria, Nanaimo, or British Columbia's Gulf Islands.
Pipeline burst Near #NODAPL NATIVES and Water protectors CAMPSITE (ANONYMOUS tv)
Published on Dec 13, 2016
A pipeline leak has spilled tens of thousands of gallons of crude oil into a North Dakota creek roughly two and a half hours from Cannon Ball, where protesters AND THE ANONYMOUS COLLECTIVE camped out in opposition to the Dakota Access pipeline.
Members of the Standing Rock Sioux and other tribes, as well as environmentalists from around the country, have fought the pipeline project on the grounds that it crosses beneath a lake that provides drinking water to native Americans. They say the route beneath Lake Oahe puts the water source in jeopardy and would destroy sacred land.
North Dakota officials estimate more than 176,000 gallons of crude oil leaked from the Belle Fourche Pipeline into the Ash Coulee Creek. State environmental scientist Bill Suess says a landowner discovered the spill on Dec. 5 near the city of Belfield, which is roughly 150 miles from the epicenter of the Dakota Access pipeline protest camps.
The leak was contained within hours of the its discovery, Wyoming-based True Cos., which operates the Belle Fourche pipeline.
It's not yet clear why electronic monitoring equipment didn't detect the leak.
ANON said the pipeline was shut down immediately after the leak was discovered. The pipeline is buried on a hill near Ash Coulee creek, and the hillside sloughed, which may have ruptured the line, she said.
That is our number one theory, but nothing is definitive, Owen said. We have several working theories and the investigation is ongoing.
Last week, the Army Corp of Engineers said it would deny Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners the easement it needs to complete the final stretch of the $3.7 billion Dakota Access pipeline. United States Assistant Secretary of the Army Jo-Ellen Darcy said the best path forward was to explore alternative routes for the pipeline, something Energy Transfer Partners says it will not do.
Energy Transfer Partners says the Dakota Access pipeline would include safeguards such as leak detection equipment and that workers monitoring the pipeline remotely in Texas could close valves within three minutes if a breach is detected.
Republican President-elect Donald Trump has voiced support for the Dakota Access Pipeline. About 5,000 people are still occupying land near the planned construction site.
The 6-inch steel Belle Fourche pipeline is mostly underground but was built above ground where it crosses Ash Coulee Creek, Suess said. Source said the pipeline was built in the 1980s and is used to gather oil from nearby oil wells to a collection point.
Suess said the spill migrated almost 6 miles from the spill site along Ash Coulee Creek, and it fouled an unknown amount of private and U.S. Forest Service land along the waterway. The creek feeds into the Little Missouri River, but Seuss said it appears no oil got that far and that no drinking water sources were threatened. The creek was free-flowing when the spill occurred but has since frozen over.
About 60 workers were on site Monday, and crews have been averaging about 100 yards daily in their cleanup efforts, he said. Some of the oil remains trapped beneath the frozen creek.
Suess says about 37,000 gallons of oil have been recovered.
It's going to take some time, Suess said of the cleanup. Obviously there will be some component of the cleanup that will go toward spring.
True Cos. has a history of oil field–related spills in North Dakota and Montana, including a January 2015 pipeline break into the Yellowstone River. The 32,000-gallon spill temporarily shut down water supplies in the downstream community of Glendive, Montana, after oil was detected in the city's water treatment system.
True Cos. operates at least three pipeline companies with a combined 1,648 miles of line in Montana, North Dakota and Wyoming, according to information the companies submitted to federal regulators. Since 2006, the companies have reported 36 spills totaling 320,000 gallons of petroleum products, most of which was never recovered.

'Finding History in Our Own Back Yard' - 3/4/2008
Western Washington University Professor Chris Friday will present Finding History in Our Own Backyard: Georgia Pacific, Your House, Your Neighborhood and Public History at WWU from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 4, at the Bellingham City Council chambers, Bellingham City Hall, 210 Lottie St.
The lecture, which is free and open to the public, is offered as the second event of the annual WWU College of Humanities and Social Sciences Dean's Lecture Series.
Writer Maxing Hong Kingston once noted that America and especially the American West was a place devoid of history because it was a land without ghosts. As true as that may have been from her Chinese American perspective growing up in the 1950s, Kingston missed an opportunity to understand that the landscape around us is filled with many ghostscapes - the layered meanings and perspectives we create about places across cultures and times. What happens when we consider our own local, familiar landscape in historical perspective? What happens when we disagree on the meaning of familiar places, especially because we see them through lenses we create out of our own peculiar understandings of history and place? How do Western students, the University, and the community benefit from thinking about the local landscape historically?
This lecture will attempt to answer these questions. Friday will also present the Georgia Pacific/Waterfront Oral History project and the current Bellingham Historic Neighborhood project that connect WWU students with the local community in the exploration of history outside the classroom.
Chris Friday is a professor of History at Western Washington University. Friday grew up near Mount St. Helens, got his bachelor's degree at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, then received his master's degree and doctorate in American History from UCLA. He lived in China for nearly two years in the early 1980s and taught in the Boston area prior to coming to WWU in 1992. At WWU, Friday's teaching and research/publication areas are Pacific Northwest History, American Indian History, and Asian American History. For most of the last decade, Friday has also been director of the Center for Pacific Northwest Studies at Western Washington University (an archives and small research institute). Most recently, Friday started a Public History minor at WWU, which is designed to help students see the connections between their interest in history as an academic subject and history as a discipline practiced in settings well beyond teaching in any classroom.
The purpose of the Dean's Community Lecture Series is to foster connections between the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the local community. What better way to make such connections than learning about our city from our own historians, such as Chris Friday, said Ron Kleinknecht, CHSS dean.
Friday's presentation will also be taped and rebroadcast on Bellingham BTV 10.

SUMMARY
=======
Victoria is the capital city of the Canadian province of British Columbia, located on the southern tip of Vancouver Island off Canada's Pacific coast. The city has a population of 85,792, while the metropolitan area of Greater Victoria has a population of 367,770, making it the 15th most populous Canadian metropolitan area. Victoria is the 7th most densely populated city in Canada with 4,405.8 people per square kilometre, which is a greater population density than Toronto.Victoria is the southernmost major city in Western Canada, and is about 100 km (60 mi) from British Columbia's largest city of Vancouver on the mainland. The city is about 100 km (60 mi) from Seattle by airplane, ferry, or the Victoria Clipper passenger-only ferry which operates daily, year round between Seattle and Victoria, and 40 km (25 mi) from Port Angeles, Washington, by ferry Coho across the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
Named after Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and, at the time, British North America, Victoria is one of the oldest cities in the Pacific Northwest, with British settlement beginning in 1843. The city has retained a large number of its historic buildings, in particular its two most famous landmarks, Parliament Buildings (finished in 1897 and home of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia) and the Empress hotel (opened in 1908). The city's Chinatown is the second oldest in North America after San Francisco's. The region's Coast Salish First Nations peoples established communities in the area long before non-native settlement, possibly several thousand years earlier, which had large populations at the time of European exploration.
Known as The Garden City, Victoria is an attractive city and a popular tourism destination with a thriving technology sector that has risen to be its largest revenue-generating private industry. Victoria is in the top twenty of world cities for quality-of-life, according to Numbeo. The city has a large non-local student population, who come to attend the University of Victoria, Camosun College, Royal Roads University, the Victoria College of Art, the Canadian College of Performing Arts, and high school programs run by the region's three school districts. Victoria is popular with boaters with its rugged shorelines and beaches. Victoria is also popular with retirees, who come to enjoy the temperate and usually snow-free climate of the area as well as the usually relaxed pace of the city.

SUMMARY
=======
Washington ( (listen)), officially the State of Washington, is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Named for George Washington, the first president of the United States, the state was made out of the western part of the Washington Territory, which was ceded by Britain in 1846 in accordance with the Oregon Treaty in the settlement of the Oregon boundary dispute. It was admitted to the Union as the 42nd state in 1889. Olympia is the state capital; the state's largest city is Seattle. Washington is sometimes referred to as Washington State, to distinguish it from Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, which is often shortened to Washington or just D.C.
Washington is the 18th largest state, with an area of 71,362 square miles (184,827 km2), and the 13th most populous state, with more than 7.4 million people. Approximately 60 percent of Washington's residents live in the Seattle metropolitan area, the center of transportation, business, and industry along Puget Sound, an inlet of the Pacific Ocean consisting of numerous islands, deep fjords, and bays carved out by glaciers. The remainder of the state consists of: deep temperate rainforests in the west; mountain ranges in the west, central, northeast, and far southeast; and a semi-arid basin region in the east, central, and south, given over to intensive agriculture. Washington is the second most populous state on the West Coast and in the Western United States, after California. Mount Rainier, an active stratovolcano, is the state's highest elevation, at almost 14,411 feet (4,392 meters), and is the most topographically prominent mountain in the contiguous United States.
Washington is a leading lumber producer. Its rugged surface is rich in stands of Douglas fir, hemlock, ponderosa pine, white pine, spruce, larch, and cedar. The state is the biggest producer of apples, hops, pears, red raspberries, spearmint oil, and sweet cherries, and ranks high in the production of apricots, asparagus, dry edible peas, grapes, lentils, peppermint oil, and potatoes. Livestock and livestock products make important contributions to total farm revenue, and the commercial fishing of salmon, halibut, and bottomfish makes a significant contribution to the state's economy. Washington ranks second only to California in the production of wine.
Manufacturing industries in Washington include aircraft and missiles, ship-building, and other transportation equipment, lumber, food processing, metals and metal products, chemicals, and machinery. Washington has over 1,000 dams, including the Grand Coulee Dam, built for a variety of purposes, including irrigation, power, flood control, and water storage.
Washington is one of the wealthiest and most liberally progressive states in the country. The state consistently ranks among the best for life expectancy, low unemployment, and degrees of freedom for minorities. Along with Colorado, Washington was one of the first to legalize medicinal and recreational cannabis, was among the first thirty-six states to legalize same-sex marriage, doing so in 2012, and was one of only four U.S. states to have been providing legal abortions on request before the 1973 Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade loosened federal abortion laws. Similarly, Washington voters approved a 2008 referendum on legalization of physician-assisted suicide, and is currently only one of five states, along with Oregon, California, Colorado and Vermont, as well as the District of Columbia to have legalized the practice. The state is also one of eight in the country to have criminalized the sale, possession and transfer of bump stocks, with California, Florida, New Jersey, New York, Vermont, Maryland, and Massachusetts also having banned these devices.

Unis'tot'en Action Camp - Speaking Tour by Deep Green Resistance
The frontline of the struggle for indigenous sovereignty -- against industrial extraction, against corporate pipelines -- is not in Washington D.C. or Victoria, British Columbia. It is not in the offices of Greenpeace or 350.org. To get to one of the many places the where the battle is being waged, you have to travel an hour and a half down a dirt logging road in central British Columbia. Surrounded by forests of Black Spruce and Lodge Pole Pine on the bank of the Morice River, at the edge of the Wet'suwet'en First Nation territory, is the Unis'tot'en Action Camp. Here, the Wet'suwet'en are holding their ground, defending their traditional lands from a set of 9 oil & gas pipelines the Canadian government (and a host of multinational corporations, collectively worth hundreds of billions of dollars) want to build. Earlier this month, for the third year in a row, they invited their allies and supporters to take part in the week-long Action Camp, which included workshops, discussions, trainings, mutual aid, and relationship building.
Over the last several weeks, organizers from DGR have been traveling up the Pacific Northwest on our way to the Unis'tot'en Action Camp. Along the way, we stopped in cities to gather donations, funds, and messages of support and solidarity for the Wet'suwet'en.
