Wild Sky Wilderness will not be created this year after all.

The U.S. Senate adjourned Wednesday without acting on legislation to establish Washington’s first new wilderness area in two decades.

This is a delay, not an end, to the effort because Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid vowed in his session- closing floor speech to bring it and other stalemated legislation to a vote early in the 2008 session.
