This is about a scenic viewpoint near my home in East Bremerton. The viewpoint is 1 mile north of Lyons Field on the Tracyton Beach Road. I often check it out for sunset photos and birds. Recently I noticed a very bad odor that smelled like a dead body. I looked along the bank where the odor was strongest and saw a place that was burnt by chemicals. My hunch is someone is dumping their RV holding tank over the bank. http://rff.smugmug.com/Journalism/Environment/Spoiled-viewpoint/IMG5074cs3/270696462_4mwMs-Ti.jpg http://rff.smugmug.com/gallery/1557121_Q9HR8/ 2009-06-24T14:52:46Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
