Gov. Jay Inslee said parts of the state have been severely impacted by snow- pack levels that have reached just 16 percent of normal. “This drought has deep- ened dramatically over the past few weeks,” Inslee said, noting the snowpack was at an unprecedented low. 6WDWH DJULFXOWXUH RI¿FLDOV estimated a loss of $1.2 billion in crops this year because of dry conditions. $QG VWDWH ZLOG¿UH PDQDJHUV expected blazes earlier than normal in the season and at higher elevations. “The rain the past few days is bringing some temporary relief, however with no snow in the mountains to sustain us through the dry summer months, we have some really tough months ahead of us,” said Maia Bellon, director of the state Department of Ecology. Some water managers in the Puget Sound region, including Seattle, Tacoma and Everett, aren’t antici- pating water shortages. “The large public utilities have planned well,” Bellon said. “Our projections show that most households in AP Photo/Rachel La Corte Washington Gov.

Major irrigators can volunteer to divert their water rights, with a cost- sharing option from the state — something Bellon said is already being done in the Dungeness region on the Olympic Peninsula. Irrigation districts in the Yakima basin — one of the state’s main agricultural regions — are turning off water for weeks to extend supplies, Inslee said. Water managers in the basin have tapped reservoirs two months earlier than usual. Inslee said the state is seeing record low water levels in rivers, and water is being diverted from creeks to aid steelhead, Chinook and EXOOWURXW,QVRPHFDVHV¿VK are being moved to cooler waters upstream.

Boater deaths declining in Oregon SALEM. (AP) — Seven people were killed during recreational boating accidents in Oregon last year, the lowest number in the state since 1990. Six of the fatal accidents took place on a river and just one was on a lake, while four involved motorized boats and three were related to non-motorized craft like kayaks or canoes, the Salem Statesman-Journal reported. The numbers come from data released by the Oregon State Marine Board and the U.S. Coast Guard. A number of factors likely contributed to the falling number of fatalities in Oregon, marine board spokeswoman Ashley Massey said. The number of registered motorboats has dropped to 166,664 from over 197,000 in 1997, which likely makes a difference. Massey also pointed to a mandatory education require- ment that since 2009 has required everyone operating a motorboat with an engine over 10 horsepower to take a safety course. “We’ve seen a nice little decrease in accidents in that time period,” Massey said. “What we’re seeing is that education is working, and we want that to continue.” While the number of fatal accidents in motorized boats has been steadily dropping, Massey pointed out that the number of people killed in accidents involving non-mo- torized craft has been rising. Since 2009, there have been 36 fatalities in non-motorized boats such as canoes and kayaks and 35 in motorized boats. Many of those acci- dents occur on the river.
