2006   The questions  1)Can Puget Sound be cleaned up by Gov.

restored Puget Sound?  5)What's the greatest success in past
Puget Sound cleanup efforts?  Brad Ack, executive director Puget
Sound Action Team:  1)It's going to be really hard and the

director of People for Puget Sound:  1)It's certainly possible,
but there's never going to be an end point to the effort.  2)The
growth projections are scary
