Playback: Jonathan D. Frodge, Ph.D. – Stormwater Scientist for Seattle Public Utilities

On this week’s show we were joined by Jonathan D. Frodge, Ph.D., Stormwater Scientist for Seattle Public Utilities, and of the University of Washington’s School of Aquatic & Fishery Sciences.

Did you know that property values are connected to water quality? Economic studies have indicated as such. Listen below as we talk with Jonathan about the rapid growth in the Seattle area and the pressure this puts on roads/sewage/drainage and affordability. We also discussed sewer scopes, homelessness, sanitary water issues, RV’s & campers, and green spaces.
