Background and Analysis:
"Saving the Nisqually Delta," by Olympia-based journalist Janine Gates, tells how one of Washington state’s most fragile and ecologically rich landscapes was rescued from development and preserved.
Blending an engaging narrative with deeply researched history, the book traces the decades-long struggle to protect the delta - the story of how this watershed home was nearly lost - and how determined local residents joined forces to save it.
