Seattle King 5 News visited Rockport this morning and talked with Howard Stafford about our opposition to the Barnaby Reach project plan to divert significant Skagit River flow into the Barnaby Slough upriver from our residential community.

This poses a huge risk for our community, especially in the event of a catastrophic event or unforeseen environmental circumstances.
