projects include efforts like stream and beach restorations, water quality improvements, and cleanups of contaminated property. We understand that this is an industrial agency with a hundred plus years of history here. We understand that we have a legacy of contamination that was left by private companies and we’re working to clean that up. It seems complicated, an international seaport that’s both in this historically polluted part of the Puget Sound at the mouth of the Puyallup River.  That’s right

I will tell you that it takes a long time for a company to build-up the tools and infrastructure to get engineers excited about a new technology. Not so with Amazon Alexa. The software development tools are readily available now for experimenting with Alexa and making a connection in your favorite programming language.

For example, a lot of congregations in the area do worship really well, including Trinity Lutheran Church right across the street from campus. They’ve got a full music program and they’ve got intergenerational
