In central Washington State, there was some recent debate over Crystal Geyser setting up a plant in Randle, WA: http://www.nwhikers.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8029750&start=30 http://www.nwhikers.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8029750&start... I hadn't kept up with the story since first hearing about it from locals running a petition - Interestingly there's a peer into the negotiation tactics due to an email slip: http://www.chronline.com/news/crystal-geyser-mistakenly-emails-chronicle-randle-bottling-project-likely-dead/article_cd562296-a434-11e9-85e8-03a953d811a6.html http://www.chronline.com/news/crystal-geyser-mistakenly-emai... https://kuow.org/stories/with-a-mistaken-email-crystal-geyser-bubbles-up-controversy https://kuow.org/stories/with-a-mistaken-email-crystal-geyse... Crystal was working on this for a while - they were bringing in fiber optic lines into Randle months beforehand, seemed to be on the mayor's good side. The interesting thing is wondering how it riled up people that I think are right-of-center non-environmental types. I remember hearing lines akin to 'a Japanese company is coming into our town' (Crystal Geyser is "is a wholly owned subsidiary of Japanese pharmaceutical company, Otsuka Holdings" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Geyser_Water_Company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Geyser_Water_Company).
