As Seattle Secures $160M Monsanto Settlement for Duwamish River Cleanup, Advocates Call for Accountability

Seattle is one of several municipalities that have secured a settlement from Monsanto/Bayer, with $160 million allocated to address polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) contamination in the Duwamish River. Following years of legal battles, the funds are intended to reduce stormwater pollution and support community education. However, some community advocates are raising questions about how these funds will be spent.
