The world’s in a tangle. As proto-fascist politics percolate, the ducks are wigging out.
Come and meet Laurel, Norman, Dwight, Passey and other assorted denizens of a rain-drenched exurban outpost. This is a tragi-comic melting-pot stew of race, class, religion, drugs, politics, Jimi Hendrix, Edgar Allan Poe, jazz, inequality, ducks, urban ecosystems and assorted waterways.
Follow the Snoqualmie and Skykomish as they merge to form the wide gray Snohomish River that flows down into Puget Sound.
