Company behind farmed fi sh
escape to move more salmon
SEATTLE — The com-
pany whose collapsed net
pens released thousands of
farmed Atlantic salmon into
Puget Sound is planning to
stock another marine facility
off Bainbridge Island with a
million juvenile fi sh despite
a request from the governor
not to do so.
Gov. Jay Inslee had asked
Cooke Aquaculture not to
move fi sh from its hatchery
to other saltwater net pens
until the investigation into
the Aug. 19 salmon farm col-
lapse at its Cypress Island
facility was completed.
Tens of thousands of the
non-native fi sh escaped into
Puget Sound after those net
pens failed, raising concerns
about its impact on native
salmon. Meanwhile, three
state agencies are investi-
gating what went wrong.
That review is expected to be
done in December.
“This is disappointing
and frustrating, coming on
the heels of the August col-
lapse of Cooke’s net pen
near Cypress Island that held
305,000 fi sh,” Inslee said in
a statement Tuesday.
Inslee’s chief of staff,
David Postman, urged
Cooke on Monday to halt the
transfer of the million juve-
nile fi sh, noting that “the
governor believes we do not
yet have enough information
about the safety of the exist-
ing pens.”
“To be fair to Washing-
ton tribes, to protect our
environment and to take
a stand to show Washing-
tonians that Cooke Aqua-
culture is taking seriously
questions about safety of
net pens, I want to urge you
to halt the transfer of those
fi sh,” Postman wrote to the
company’s lawyer.
THURSDAY
A lawyer for the Cana-
da-based company responded
that Cooke needed to get the
young salmon into saltwa-
ter pens soon — or they may
have to be destroyed — and
noted that it has been work-
ing with state agencies to
ensure that the fi sh are free
of disease and the pens at the
Clam Bay facility are secure.
Cooke said the Clam Bay
net pens are entirely differ-
ent from the Cypress Island
pens and recent inspections
confi rm they do not pose a
risk of the Cypress Island
incident occurring.
Cooke spokeswoman Nell
Halse said in an email Tues-
day that transporting fi sh into
grow-out pens typically only
requires assurances that the
young fi sh are healthy. But
given the problems at the
Cypress Island facility, the
company has worked with
state offi cials to inspect the
Clam Bay facility.

Soon after Brad Johnston’s
sudden retirement as police
chief in early August, an inde-
pendent assessment found that
Rusiecki — in an attempt to
correct communication issues
between staff and manage-
ment — had for months been
asking the former chief to cre-
ate the o perations s upervisor
position.
Rusiecki has said com-
munication with dispatchers
would benefi t if he could have
time to perform external duties
such as managing direction
of cellular traffi c and coordi-
nating with the public safety
agencies that utilize the center,
rather than completely over-
seeing day-to-day operations.
the delisting Tuesday night.
The commissioners said the
marker, which was installed
in Vancouver in 1939, failed
meet established standards for
a community heritage site.
Commissioner Alex Gall
said the marker also lost its
historic integrity when it
was moved from its original
spot to its current home on
private property along Inter-
state 5 near Ridgefield.
The marker and a simi-
lar piece of granite originally
installed in Blaine, near the
Canadian border, now are part
of Jefferson Davis Park which
also includes Confederate fl ags.
The voting followed almost
90 minutes of public testi-
mony, with comments in sup-
port and against the heritage
register designation.
