A barricade at the end of an unfinished street in an unfinished development community called "The Reserve". It was scheduled to have houses built by
early 2008, but with the house market drying up and jobs leaving the area, the only thing to be seen here is street signs, paved curbs, utility boxes, and lamp posts. No homes. The promise of expansion is present, but when it will be fulfilled is hard to determine.

David Walker has been taking his dog Nakieta out to the fields to play near The Reserve far before it was even created. He enjoys the natural values of the
areas farmland and fields and doesn't want to see them go. "They didn't have to open this land up for development for another 10 to 15 years. It all comes down to greedy people," he said, "I'm not against growth. It's just got to be selective growth."

Commercial, sport and pirate fisherman stress our fisheries. New fishing techniques are wiping out entire schools of fish, leaving them unable to reproduce. In response to such over-fishing, hatcheries are responsible for the release of five billion salmon in the North Pacific Ocean, yearly.
