ORCA is an important new book project about our Puget Sound region to be published Spring 2021, with meaning and implications that will resonate around the globe. From the enduring partnership of two local and independent media—The Seattle Times and nonprofit publisher Mountaineers Books— and written by award-winning environmental reporter Lynda Mapes, with photos by Times photographer Steve Ringman and others, the book will be the foundation for an ambitious Braided River outreach campaign.
