Thanks Adam! Another great piece on a local place. I didn't realize how threatened the bay was by that wide variety of development schemes. And I have always wondered why Padilla is not pronounced in the Spanish way.
I hope you delve further (sorry, bad pun) into dykes and drainage ditches because they are such an essential component of the Skagit River Delta as we know it today.

I still can't get used to the pronunciation. Every time I hear it, I think it's wrong.
I know I'll be learning more about drainage and irrigation as time passes. Stay tuned--and thanks for reading, as always.
