Brown Elliott Bay Just a Sign of Spring Cleaning

As noted here earlier, area rivers are still surging with the long-delayed spring melt from last weekend’s heat. Although it's a little harder to tell right now, the dependably blueish-grey cocktail that is Elliott Bay has been diluted with a somewhat murkier brown finish.

Not to worry, it isn’t a sewage nightmare of epic proportions or the work of drunken Exxon sailors, just the dirty old Duwamish doing a little spring cleaning.
