Thanks kind Redditor! I’ve walked through the Black River Riparian area a few times, https://www.rentonwa.gov/cms/One.aspx?pageId=8838326&portalId=7922741 when I’ve visited my dad - its beautiful…. The story though is sad…. there were Natives in the area who lost their whole food supply…. their lives and their heritage were destroyed.
