Watching the Windermere Cup 2011 crew races on the Montlake Cut at the University of Washington. There were tons of dogs and families out this year enjoying the sun and the race festivities. The Husky men and women cleaned up, winning by almost too much in their races against opponents like Cambridge and Stanford.

 

Crabbing in the Toxic Duwamish River

This is another from the “Healing a River” project I have been working on for almost a year now. In this image, two women unload crabs they caught in the Duwamish River. Signs nearby warn that no shellfish from these waters, including crabs, are fit for human consumption. They women claimed the signs were old and explained to me that they had been feeding crabs like these to their families for years. The mother and daughter, immigrants from the Philippines, now live in Federal Way and make the trip often to go crabbing in the toxic waters of the Duwamish.
