    We ranked 7th! Get those one-time actions completed, they are worth 75 points! You can select up to 8 of them and they are relatively easy! Hike a new trail, visit the fish ladder at Rocky Reach Dam, you can do it! 2 days left!

      Looking at previous posts it take a couple days, but good on you.  I'm sure it'll happen.  I sent a check and I got points.  Sustainable Wenatchee is awesomely worth it aside from this great Eco-Challenge!  Good luck!
