Those of us who live here in Whatcom County, Washington, reside on the traditional territory of the Coast Salish people who have lived here since time immemorial. The waters, lands, and air are imbued with their spirit.

As the creator of Noisy Waters Northwest, I have a desire to support the many people in our community who would protect these sacred lands, waters, and the lifeforms upon and within them.  There is much information and insight into important matters that have a strong impact on our community that is largely unheralded.

It is my aim at Noisy Waters Northwest to allow information to rise from the deep, to release it and make a roar loud enough for multitudes to hear, process, act upon, and add to the force of their own voices.

I give thanks to the Lummi Nation and the native language of their people for the inspiration for the blog site name.  I give thanks to this beautiful portion of planet earth where we live and to the noisy waters that sound in our ears.
