A portion of Sequim’s original Sequim Prairie irrigation ditch is tentatively set to be piped as part of a conservation effort to help the Dungeness River’s flow and endangered fish. Some neighbors and shareholders are opposed to the project because they feel they weren’t given an opportunity to provide input to project owner the Sequim Prairie-Tri Irrigation Association (SPTIA). They feel enclosing the ditch will kill nearby vegetation and negatively impact wildlife. (Lucinda Hayes)
