Taming Wild Puyallup River Era Begins
A historic 1906 flood sparked a joint effort by King and Pierce counties to tame the White and Puyallup rivers. After lawsuits and clashes, a 1913 act allowed counties to form a river improvement partnership with a 25 000 annual capital and a 60 000 annual maintenance fund, led by Chief Engineer W J Roberta and J H Walter. The program, slow to start, marked a new era of intercounty cooperation to prevent flood devastation.
