In Seattle, bird counts and species diversity are declining
Bird counts in Seattle have declined 21% between 2005 and 2023. That's according to a new study from Birds Connect Seattle, which also found that species diversity declined by 18% during that same time period. Conservation director Joshua Morris authored the report. We met up recently at Washington Park Arboretum to talk about what’s happening to Seattle’s bird populations.

These scientists are keeping an eye on which KC beaches are safe for swimming
Memorial Day is a time to honor America’s fallen soldiers past and present. It’s also the unofficial start of summer. Today’s weather isn't exactly ideal for a beach swim. But once we get to magical Seattle summer weather, don’t forget to check King County Public Health’s website before you take a dip. They send out environmental scientists like Wyatt Klepac each week to test our swim beaches for toxic algae and bacteria. Right now, Green Lake’s West Beach is closed because of toxic algae and Newcastle Beach due to high bacteria. Last summer, we were curious about how the county decides to close beaches and went out with Wyatt to see for ourselves. Here’s that episode again.
