The **Auburn Wetlands** represent an important component of the Port of Seattle's broader habitat restoration and mitigation banking program within the **Green-Duwamish Watershed. As part of the Port's **multi-site wetland mitigation and habitat conservation bank**, the Auburn Wetlands serve as one of the restoration sites that contributes to the overall ledger of credits generated by the program. This aligns with the Port's **Century Agenda** goal of restoring, creating, and enhancing **40 additional acres** of Green-Duwamish habitat.

Researchers conducted a year-long mobile air quality monitoring campaign across the greater Seattle area, measuring traffic-related pollutants including ultrafine particles, black carbon, nitrogen dioxide, fine particulate matter, and carbon dioxide at 309 locations. The study developed predictive models of annual average pollution levels to support health research on how traffic emissions affect Seattle residents, particularly the elderly. The findings showed strong spatial variation in pollution levels linked to traffic and land use patterns across the region.
Can new emission-free electric planes replace our polluting airliners and revolutionize personal transportation in our cities? NOVA takes you for a ride in some impressive prototypes that are already in the air, from speedy single-seat planes that can take off like a helicopter but are half as noisy to “self-flying” air taxis that are already
