The Washington Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit challenging the state’s Department of Fish and Wildlife’s approval of permit that allowed Cooke Aquaculture to switch from raising Atlantic salmon in the Puget Sound to steelhead trout. The court found that the state agency “evaluated the relevant environmental factors sufficiently to constitute prima facie compliance with” the state’s environmental policy act.
