If you feel compelled to donate, please give to our legal fund.

The people of Seattle deserve to know they could be losing their right to stand up for the environment!  We are gearing up for our opening brief on 9/24 in the WA Court of Appeals to fight for this right and to protect the critically endangered SRKWs. Can you help us get the word out to your pod?

Toki, L25, L128, J61, and J62 made their PNW ClimateWeek and TokiTV debuts in our presentations, appearing in the Canopy of Contention art exhibition, and tabling at StreamFest. We're grateful for the invitations to share how trees filter and cool water for orcas and salmon. The TokiTV presentation begins around 10:37. 

New Data: Trees filter stormwater
Each tree removed represents increased stormwater runoff. According to iTree, 5.4 million gallons of stormwater was absorbed by the private property 2024 removals alone annually (not including street, parks, or illegal tree removals). 

Record Breaking Donation: Huge thanks to @darcishea Studio. Check out their gorgeous Quiet Wilds cloisonné artwork featuring orcas and fascinating process videos! Thank you for helping support our fight. We are grateful to everyone who has helped make this possible with their generous support. 

Support our legal appeal giving the only endangered orcas in the world a well deserved seat at the table in the Environmental Impact Statement they were excluded from. The SRKWs are in a health crisis; now is not the time to increase polluted runoff needlessly. 

Send a customizable pre-written email to Seattle City Council - whether you live here or not, the orcas do not belong to Seattle who profits from tourism money.

SW Manual update: Another avenue being used to increase impervious surface when we know we can densify without killing the environment. Please voice your support for nature's water filters - large trees - as SPU works with the Department on Construction.
