Earth Day on the the Middle Waterway
This just in:
An Earth Day celebration that looks back at the first habitat restoration along Commencement Bay and looks ahead to the new initiative to clean up Puget Sound is planned for Saturday, April 21, at the Middle Waterway.
The day features a restoration workday sponsored by Citizens for a Healthy Bay and a visit from U.S. Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.). Other sponsors are the City of Tacoma and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the federal agency that acts as a trustee on behalf of the public to protect and restore coastal and marine resources.
Volunteers will work at the Middle Waterway Shore Restoration Project, the first site restored under the Natural Resource Damage Assessment process led by NOAA. The site is owned by Simpson Tacoma Kraft Co., a major partner in the clean-up. Since that project was completed more than 10 years ago, six additional projects have been completed along the Middle Waterway, including several led by the City of Tacoma.
A program at noon will focus on the history of the site and the benefits of collaborative efforts to restore marine habitat, as well as highlighting the contributions of volunteers to the restoration process. The celebration will also note the launch of the Puget Sound Initiative and what it promises for the future.
People interested in volunteering to assist with the workday should contact Gina Quiram at (253) 282-2429.

It looks like Rainier Connect is a couple bucks more a month for service. Hopefully their service is as good or better than Harbornet. I’ve been with Harbornet for several years and have rarely had any issues.

Harbornet’s been great for me. I work on Pacific close to Rainier Connect. Small office. They must really be expanding if they’re buying up other local ISPs.
Kind of like Dracula buying up property around London. LOL

I hope they don’t force all the newly acquired Harbornet employees to earn to break-dance like the rest of their employees had to when they upgraded to “break-neck speed.”

I never really had a problem with the billing system. What kind of problems did you have?

you know how they’d email you a pdf… you’d have to copy/paste your account number, invoice number… blood type… astrological sign.. to submit a payment. complicating things further they’d label things differently in the PDF than in the html payment form! Is my User ID the same as Account Number? Usability Issue!
why can you just log in and enter a CC number? Am I living in 1997 ?
