Diary of the Port Biologist

(To the beat of Vanilla Ice's Ice Ice Baby)

Alright stop
Collaborate and listen
This bio’s back with a brand-new edition
Salmon, are top of mind rightly
Keeping me up, daily and nightly
Will it ever stop?
Yo, I don’t know
We know we wanna help the orcas though
To the extreme, we do as much as we’re able
Working hard to keep those populations stable.

Craigslist, Angie's List, Jenn's List!

Not to be outdone by the popular Craigslist and Angie's List, our Port Biologist created her own list—Jenn's List—of items found in the Tideflats. Just in time for vacation season, we have your getaway ready and waiting! Sort of.

As the Port Biologist, I get to see and hear the stories of when nature and industry intersect. Most of these stories are lighthearted, funny and/or wacky, and they are a lot of fun to share. Unfortunately, not every story is a happy one. Last week was one of my toughest weeks as the Port Biologist. 

Port Patrol observed raucous behavior of an early '90s fraternity party-like atmosphere in Commencement Bay off the North Intermodal Yard. Upon investigation, this is what I heard.
