  1. Travis Williams:

    This is indicative of unusual conditions this year, especially this early in the year, we have low water flows, which makes the lower Willamette very lake-like. The water temperatures are high, and nutrient levels could feed algae.

    I do a lot of outdoor activities that will be affected by climate change, i ski, raft, hike -- all sorts of stuff. We go up to Willamette Pass (to ski), and the last few years it's barely been open because of the lack of snow. It does sort of make me mad, but mostly I'm sad. We've affected our climate so much. We've done all of this.

    I heard it meant sickness, as named by the Native Americans who lived here. As in, Willamette Valley = valley of sickness, partially due to the many allergens that exist here.
