In summary, the "drought emergency" talk is highly irresponsible and in contradiction to observed facts on the ground.  It is used as a tool to scare people, often with unsupported attempts to connect the fictitious "drought"...

Anyway, the decline of science coverage and the move to climate-change advocacy at the Seattle Times has not been in the best interest of anyone, particularly the Times.  They are misinforming the public.  Global warming...
