Wild Sky Wilderness Area plan appears closer to approval than ever

After nearly nine years of work and four tries, the proposed Wild Sky Wilderness Area seems finally headed for approval, designating the first major new wilderness in Washington in a generation. A bill containing the wilderness area passed on a 91-4 vote in the U.S. Senate on Thursday and is headed to virtually certain passage in the House as soon as next week. The president is expected to sign it.
