Read an Op-Ed in the Puget Sound Business Journal by Doug Walker, a founding member of the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Coalition, in support of the Coalition’s request for $100 million in funding for wildlife and recreation areas.
Excerpt: “The Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program is essential because the outdoors is more than just a way of life in Washington state. It is part of the fabric of our economy. For a successful business already here and for an economic development council trying to attract new businesses, our quality of life is one of the state’s main selling points.”
