		Dredging and straightening the lower Duwamish River was one of Seattle's early industrial and governmental partnerships, which produced many aggressive engineering projects, including damming and redirecting the Cedar River for piped drinking water and building the Lake Washington Ship Canal.
		The Duwamish was declared an EPA Superfund Site in September of 2001 because studies showed that four feet of sediment in the bottom of the river was contaminated with arsenic, mercury, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), volatile organic compounds (from human sewage), industrial chemicals and other heavy metals.
		While salmon make two trips through the Duwamish River every year, and have higher levels of PCBs than their relatives who spawn in other Puget Sound rivers, environmental regulators are hesitant to admit the salmon's health, or the people who eat them, could also be threatened by the pollution.

		To spend a few hours kayaking on the Duwamish Waterway, sandwiched between West Seattle and Seattle’s industrial area, is to voyage into a world where commerce is king, and where the powerful hand of industry has remade the natural world in its own image.
		The key to enjoying a paddle in the Duwamish is to look past the obvious and see through the veneer of industrial America to what is hidden behind it.
		It is not overly important which part of the Duwamish you choose to paddle, whether you pick the busy areas surrounding Harbor Island or the slightly greener spots further upstream.

	Coastal America: Project Summary - Duwamish River Estuary Intertidal Wetlands
		The Duwamish River provides a passageway to the inland portions of the state, and thus has been an area of heavy industrial development.
		The developmental history of the Duwamish Estuary has resulted in the loss of approximately 98% of its former intertidal marshes and mudflats.
		These habitats are critical to juvenile salmon and many other species of aquatic and terrestrial wildlife, and their loss represents a serious threat to the ecological integrity of both the Duwamish River Estuary and the greater Puget Sound.
