Given that Seattle has 4 million people, and roads to match, it is pretty likely that salt runoff from deicing the streets could change the salinity in the Sound. Now, factor in that organisms have different toleration for different levels of salinity and...

Nonsense.

Salt runoff from deicing the streets would not affect the salinity in the Sound in the slightest. There simply isn't enough involved.

This is just as idiotic as the "nuclear winter" claims by Sagan, the "Global Warming" claims by Gore, and innumerable other alarmist liberal claims.

Dumping a few tons of salt on the streets of Seattle are not going to affect, IN ANY WAY, the environment in Pugent Sound.

The salt is going to be carried out to sea and that's the end of it. Unless you're worried about it contaminating the Pacific.

Duh.
