As god is my witness, one summer I will take the Cedar River Watershed tour and blog about it. It takes 2.5 hours, costs $10, and shows you where 70 percent of Seattle's drinking water comes from.

But... I'd really appreciate a similar article about the details of getting water to us Seattle folk. I know it comes from up in the Cascades, two different sites depending where you live. But after that I know little. I have heard, that like NYC, we actually get some water delivered through century-old hollow logs. Yuk.

The Pig's Eye may have taken you there today, but its a NYTimes article from earlier in the week. Interesting stuff, but this is a manifestation of local media (MSM) being weak and gutted.
