People for Puget Sound is hosting Rain Water Walking Tours throughout the Puget Sound area. These free, fun, and family friendly tours trace the entire process of what happens when a drop of water hits your roof to when that drop enters Puget Sound, and what it picks up along the way. See first hand what others are doing to minimize the impacts of the largest source of pollution for Puget Sound: polluted runoff.
