Monsanto agrees to $160 million settlement with Seattle over pollution in the Duwamish River
SEATTLE (AP) — Ending an eight-year legal battle, chemical giant Monsanto has agreed to a $160-million settlement with Seattle for its part in polluting a river that runs through the heart of the city with toxins that posed a threat to humans, fish and wildlife, the city attorney’s office said Thursday. “We all play a role in protecting our environment and I am glad that Monsanto will contribute to this important environmental cleanup,” City Attorney Ann Davison said in a news release. It’s the largest single-city settlement Monsanto has paid, she said. The Duwamish River cuts through Seattle, emptying into Puget Sound just south of downtown. Water samples collected from the Lower Duwamish detected polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, which are man-made chemical compounds that were manufactured by Monsanto, according to the city’s lawsuit. Although Monsanto stopped manufacturing PCBs in 1977, the chemicals continued to exist in paints, caulking and sealants on buildings, Davison said. As a result, stormwater flowing into the Lower Duwamish River has been continually contaminated with PCBs.

Rather than running for a full four-year term, candidates are vying to finish the final 13 months of former Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda’s term.
Jedd Fisch forgets recent history at Colorado when discussing Washington’s rebuild
Fresh off an appearance in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game, the Washington Huskies’ roster has undergone a massive transformation this offseason under new head coach Jedd Fisch. Fisch took the podium during this week’s Big Ten media days and shared that the Huskies own 46 new scholarship players, an entirely new coaching staff and 21 new starters (h/t Brett McMurphy of The Action Network). “That has never been done before,” Fisch said Thursday regarding Washington’s rebuilt roster. “It’s a true reboot, but so is college football.” While the Huskies’ overhaul is certainly significant, Fisch forgot about the even larger reboot that head coach Deion Sanders engineered at Colorado last offseason. Sanders added nearly 70 new scholarship players and also brought in an entirely different coaching staff. To make Fisch’s comments even more strange, his Arizona Wildcats played (and beat) the new-look Buffs in the Pac-12 last November. "Never been done before"? I guess he forgot about Colorado in 2023, which had 68 new scholarship players and an entirely new coaching staff https://t.co/s5UDvvKJCg — Brian Howell (@BrianHowell33) July 25, 2024 Contact/Follow us @BuffaloesWire on X (Twitter), and like our page on Facebook for ongoing coverage of Colorado news, notes and opinions.
