In the Pacific Northwest a watershed that is still home to returning salmon is a treasure to be respected. The Maxwelton Valley on the southern end of Whidbey Island (20 miles north of Seattle, WA) is such a watershed. Its history and environmental issues stand as a template for understanding similar watersheds and their issues throughout the Cascadia bio-region.

Funded by a grant from the Washington State Department of Ecology, this book details the histories of fourth and fifth-generation farmers, explains complex land use laws, and explores the biological/geological backdrop of the valley. Fully illustrated with black and white photos, the book stands as a fine example of the phrase, “Think globally, act locally.” Ann Linnea worked with a local educational non-profit organization (Whidbey Watershed Stewards, formerly Maxwelton Salmon Adventure) to author this book. She gently captured interviews from a generation of pioneer elders who remember the island as it used to be and speak the universal wisdom of rural America in the first half of the 20th century.
