What’s killing the Northwest’s bigleaf maples? Scientists think they’ve found the answer
Climate change is the culprit behind the increasing deaths of bigleaf
maples in Washington and across the Pacific Northwest. That’s the
conclusion of University of Washington researchers and government
agencies who began studying the phenomenon in 2011... In a paper
released earlier this month, lead researchers Jacob Betzen and Patrick
Tobin concluded that the varied effects of urbanization and climate
change were leading to the decline and death of bigleaf maples across
their range from British Columbia to California. Craig Sailor reports

Amid crew shortages, Washington State Ferries to cut sailings on some routes by half
Washington State Ferries announced late Wednesday afternoon it will
impose cuts indefinitely to at least five routes, after failing to
overcome a chronic lack of crew. Ferry officials said that by adopting a
leaner schedule, to take effect on Saturday, they could better assure
travelers that the remaining sailings do occur. It’s a drastic move that
Amy Scarton, deputy state transportation secretary, said last week the
agency might need to make. She compared this scenario to “snow routes”
when transit or ferry managers carefully trim service but keep a
mobility lifeline between communities. Mike Lindblom reports. (Seattle
