The Spokane Street and West Seattle bridges pass over the Duwamish River. "Most of the people traveling to West Seattle don't know that this is the Duwamish," said James Rasmussen of the Duwamish tribe.

The Clean Water Act turns 40 this year. To mark the occasion, this week we launched a new series “Clean Water: The Next Act,” a joint project by EarthFix, Ecotrope and InvestigateWest.
To celebrate our new series, this podcast is all water, all the time. EarthFix’s Ashley Ahearn and guest co-host, InvestigateWest’s Robert McClure, talk through some of the reporting the team has done so far, in particular, a look at Seattle’s Duwamish River.
