A senator from WA has introduced a bill that would breach the Hiram Chittenden locks and all the Seattle City Light dams that generate power for the city of Seattle.

A quote from the article:
-"“Lake Washington property owners might be inconvenienced when the water starts rising. Others might not like it when electricity bills skyrocket. But as they say in Seattle, no sacrifice is too great for somebody else to make.”
(for those that don't know it, Puget Sound is 20.6' higher than Lake Washington. If that one lock was breached it would cause massive flooding in Lake Washington and the loss of hundreds or thousands of residences and a few cities that line the lake.)
