Senator Murray Visits Lone Tree Point, Discusses Conservation Efforts with Swinomish Tribe and Northwest Straits Commission
Press Release
Issues: Indigenous Peoples Environment
"Washington's waterways and coastline are absolutely vital to our state's economy, culture, and way of life--and places like Lone Tree Point carry special significance to Tribes, including the Swinomish people. The Swinomish Tribe and Northwest Straits Commission are doing incredible work to restore and protect these critical habitats, and it was great to see the resources I secured for the Puget Sound being put to work. As Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I'm going to keep working in the other Washington to secure the federal dollars we need to protect our state's incredible natural resources for generations to come."
