Weekday High School interns spent this past summer looking into the health of Puget Sound.

This summer, Weekday High's interns explored the Puget Sound, crafting original radio pieces that look at those who live and work on the waterway. By bringing a youth focus to the issue of pollution in our area, the interns profiled the people and places affected by the changing Sound, giving a voice to both the problems and solutions.
