Nice article about Husky Stadium and the Montlake Dump.
When I attended UW in the early 80's the fill looked kinda like that aerial photo. Great habitat even then but nothing like today. I remember one of the ponds filled with 47 Red-necked Phalaropes.
I also remember going to that dump with my father in the 50's. How many rare gulls did I see? Oh, and by the way, the dump folks encouraged us to bring BB guns to shoot rats, which were astoundingly abundant!
