Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce ambassadors and friends celebrate the expansion of Conservatory Coastal Homes. The business moved this year from a small space to a large corner lot in downtown Port Townsend. Submitted photo
Chamber supports local businesses Why does it matter that people shop locally?
“Every purchase you make locally helps to keep our communities vibrant and economically sustainable,” says chamber Executive Director Teresa Verraes.
What does the chamber do for local businesses?
“The chamber’s vision is to be the leading network fostering the most well-informed, driven, dynamic businesses and professionals in Jefferson County,” says Verraes.
You sponsor a lot of events to support businesses, don’t you?
“There’s so much going on to create a more vibrant economy in Jefferson County,” says Verraes, urging businesses to take advantage of programs like the free small business symposium that was offered as well as opportunities with the Young Business Professionals, Team Jefferson and Main Street.
You are in this for the long haul?
“The Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce has a commitment to the long-term economic, social and environmental health of our region.”
And your mission then is to build a local economy?
“Our mission is to build and serve a large, diverse member network by providing resources and opportunities for connecting with the greater business community, informing members on matters that impact the local economy, promote member businesses throughout the region and advocate for member issues and opportunities to support business growth and well-being.”
Name some of kinds of events you sponsor?
“In collaboration with Local 20/20, Main Street, EDC/ Team Jefferson and the Silverwater Café we’re debuting ‘Fixing the Future,’ which is about strengthening our local economy. We put on programs like ‘Marketing in the Real World.’ Check out our website at jeffcountychamber.org. There’s so much going on.” – Allison Arthur

“The Local” is the name of a bagel sandwich created by Bob Larsen. It includes Cape Cleare Fishery salmon and Mt. Townsend Creamery’s cheese, featured here on an “Everything” bagel. Photo by Allison Arthur
‘The Local’ bagel even gets recycled Business: Bob’s Bagels, owned by Bob Larsen
How did you start?
“We started by giving away bagels to friends and clients who, in turn, gave them to friends, which started the demand for more,” says Larsen. “The first day, we made 68 bagels and sold 40.”
How many are you making today?
“We’re making about 1,200 a week and selling all but a handful we save for ourselves.”
You call one sandwich “The Local.” Why?
“‘The Local’ is from our first menu. It’s a bagel with Cape Cleare smoked salmon and Mt. Townsend Creamery fromage blanc. With our current menu we could call every sandwich ‘The Local.’ With the exception of cream cheese and butter, all our sandwiches have local ingredients.”
And you do something cool with leftovers?
“The leftover toppings that do not stick to our bagels are collected and given to Finnriver Farm to feed their chickens. We then buy eggs from them to make into sandwiches at the [Port Townsend farmers] market. Strange full circle.”
And you are making something new in house?
“Our vegetarian pecan sausage is made in house, and it also has local ingredients in it like Pane d’Amore bread crumbs, Mystery Bay chèvre and ricotta, Midori produce and ferments, Colinwood produce, Red Dog produce, Nash’s flour, to name a few supplies.”
How do you support local businesses?
We listen to music a lot, including KEXP in Seattle and KPTZ. We cater both of their pledge drives. We buy several CDs from Quimper Sound each month. All our office supplies come from Olympic Art & Office. We buy kitchen wares from What’s Cookin’ and Green Eyeshade. Because we do so much of our delivering and commuting via bicycle, we try to support all the bike shops in town and slightly out of town. Some others are coffee from Sunrise, soaps from Bunny’s and refueling, after 40 miles of deliveries, with breakfast at the Moose or Goose.” – Allison Arthur Port Townsend & Jefferson County Leader

Mercantile – a new local anchor downtown Quimper Mercantile is one of the newest businesses in Jefferson County, and it was started by and for locals. The community-owned business – more than 850 people have bought stock in the company – is open in downtown Port Townsend where Swain’s Outdoor and More had been for years. Quimper aims to be an anchor store to downtown.
What’s the aim of Quimper Mercantile?
“We want to bring back everyday shoppers, people who would otherwise go online or wait to go to Sequim. Instead, we want people to say, ‘I’m going to go downtown to Quimper, they might have it,’” says Quimper Mercantile CEO Peter Quinn.
You have a motto, don’t you?
“My slogan is ‘We just want to buy some socks,’” Quinn says. “We’ll have everyday things at everyday prices.”
How many local products do you have to start?
“Fifteen or 20 or more. It’s an ongoing process. We won’t stop adding local products. We’ll be expanding our line.”
And you’re employing local people?
“Yes. We have eight people now. We have people from Port Townsend to Brinnon. Everyone lives locally.”
What do you need to be successful?
“We need people to shop and we need to sell more stock [in the company]. We’re really pleased with the depth and breadth of what we have, but we have other uses for the money. We could easily put in another 50 to 60 percent of the inventory and all that takes is more investing.”
How excited are you for this for the local economy?
“I don’t think there’s a question that this is worth doing. We know how valuable it is to have a vibrant downtown, and you can’t do that without an anchor tenant. People won’t come down every day if they don’t think there’s something for them. They have to have a feeling they are going shopping. It’s essentially the Port Townsend mall.” – Allison Arthur

Quilcene Village Store juggles local needs Principals: Tom and Cass Brotherton, Greg and Stacey Brotherton, Sage Brotherton and Cathy Barsukoff How long in business: Opened for gas in November 2011; food stocked since April 2012
What do you provide that’s different?
“We’re trying to take the standard gas station and tweak it to make it a more locally centered grocery,” says Greg Brotherton. “Our goal is to serve the local people. Sometimes they want things from farther afield, and we accommodate that.”
How local are you?
“The closest local farm whose products we carry is 300 yards away. It’s not the path of least resistance to get local stock. We need to meet people, see what they are producing and in a lot of cases, pick it up.”
What do people like about your store?
“People like the friendly atmosphere. We are trying to harken back to the days when Mary ran the Village Store, and I think we are succeeding. She made the store a village center, and she carried whatever people wanted. Our products run the gamut, from standard gas station fare to organic grocery with local produce and fair trade handicrafts. We have Scooby Snacks dog treats, imports, bulk foods and ethanol.”
How do you want to be local?
“We love being here. We’ve been here a year already, and I get stressed out going over the Hood Canal Bridge. It feels like home. We want to do everything we can to make it a vibrant community.” – Viviann Kuehl

Enanimals owner Michele Raney engraves an original design in graphite with traditional tools, then makes a steel-block die of the design with an electrical discharge machine. Submitted photo
Enanimals jewelry has a story, history Name of business: Enanimals, owned by Michele Raney How long in business: 30 years
What is unique about your products?
“Because of my subject matter – wildlife, marine life, flora, Celtic designs and more – I can offer handmade jewelry to a large audience of both men and women,” says owner Michele Raney. “I take inspiration from my life experiences and the places I have visited throughout my travels and my upbringing.”
How do you encourage people to shop local?
“By participating in the community both as a business owner and a volunteer it’s only natural that opportunities to shop locally, and to get involved locally, come up in conversation.”
What do you wish people knew about you?
“I take the opportunity to educate people about my process every chance I get. It’s one thing to see my jewelry as a finished product, but there is a story, a history behind the process that is key to appreciating each piece.”
What do you shop for locally?
“Personally I shop locally for groceries; I’ll often purchase fruits and vegetables from the farm stand near my home in Port Hadlock. I also love to shop the local thrift stores for clothing. For my jewelry I get some parts from the local bead shop. I purchase my enamels from a Seattle-based business but I do take advantage of local business for printing and purchase a lot of my office and art supplies locally. I like knowing that what I spend here goes towards supporting others who live here.”
Ever have an “ah-ha moment” about shopping locally?
“I’ll often barter and trade locally for products and services that I need, which is really at the root of local economics.” – Megan Claflin

Robert Farr holds an antique camelback mantel clock that started his adventure into clock repair, which he does from his home in Port Ludlow. Photo by Allison Arthur
Father Time keeps past present Business: Father Time fixes clocks of all kinds, specializing in antique clocks. Owners: Robert Farr and Martha McMahon, Port Ludlow
How did the business start?
“I inherited a clock from my grandmother and I always remembered it chiming,” says Farr, who recalls he had the clock fixed to the tune of $500. “While I was driving home, it hit me that I had repaired airplane engines. So when I got it home I took it apart and put it together. It’s still running. It became my evening job while I was working at Horizon Airlines.”
Are there really that many clocks to fix?
“In Port Ludlow and Port Townsend, there is an amazing number of clocks. I’ve repaired clocks from the 1700s. There’s one from 1741 that started its life in Europe. It’s been passed through generations, and every 30 years they’ve had it serviced by some clockmaker. My name is on that clock now, too.”
How far will you go to pick up an old clock?
“We go from Silverdale to Port Townsend and all the way out to Port Angeles. We do an average of 150 to 200 clocks a year.”
What’s been the most interesting clock?
“For myself, probably the most interesting clock was an 1800s cuckoo clock that I restored myself. It spent 30 years in a barn. It was basically junk, but I’ve restored it and got the birds working. Our cat likes to watch.”
What have you learned about locals from your business?
“There’s a lot of good U.S. history here. I was totally amazed. There’s a lot of interesting people here, and they all have these fascinating stories.” — Allison Arthur

GARDENS AT FOUR CORNERS • Gary and Patti created the Gardens at Four Corners 17 years ago, and their love for this area and the community only grows. They’ve learned that this is “dream country” for gardening if the challenges of soil, water (and deer!) are first conquered; so it’s their goal to educate for success with helpful and knowledgeable staff and carry quality, reasonably priced soils, mulches and healthy plants (including larger trees). People say they buy their plants here “because they live!” So, why travel out of the county when you can enjoy all of this on 2 1⁄2 acres, browsing the wonderful gardens at “Four Corners?!” Locally owned since 1995.

McKay captures crab and shrimp Business: McKay Shrimp and Crab Gear, owned by Fay Beck; production manager, Tony Wihley How long in business? Current owner, eight years; business established around 1972
How do you encourage people to shop with you?
“A lot of our business comes through word of mouth, through recommendations,” says Beck. “It’s our quality that encourages people. We are right here on Hood Canal, and we do business over the Internet, put ads in specialty newspapers, and in the Fish & Wildlife regulations booklet.” “Some people get 10 to 15 years’ use out of their pots, some come every year for new pots, and some throw them overboard with nothing attached. We can’t help that, but it might be good for business.”
What do people like about your products?
“The pots are lightweight, made out of quality wire and materials. They’re all handmade here, and we have three good designs,” notes Beck. “We sell most of the products you need for shellfishing: ropes, weights, pulleys, electric and gas pullers, floats, and bait, in pellets and fish oil.”
What do you provide that’s different?
“There are not too many places that make the pots and sell them retail. Commercial pots are so big and heavy, and they are sold wholesale. Ours are light and they fish really well. Our customers come from as far away as Bellingham to Oregon, and we supply to some California stores.”
What do you shop for locally?
“Gas and groceries. I wish it was different, but there’s not much I can get locally for my business. I get some things from Henery’s Hardware in Quilcene, but that’s only about $1,000 a year.” — Viviann Kuehl

Next generation takes helm at Frederickson Electric Business: Frederickson Electric, owned by Hans and Mia Frederickson
How did you get started?
“We bought [the business] in January 2012 from Erik Frederickson, who had been in business 33 years in Port Townsend,” says Mia Frederickson, referring to husband Hans, son of the founder.
What does “shopping” locally mean to your business?
“For me, doing business locally is how we strengthen our community,” says Hans. “We care for our customers, and they care for us. We have stronger connections when we see the people we do business with around the community.”
Do you hire locally?
“Including myself, we have eight full-time and three part-time employees. We all live in Jefferson County. Many of us were born and raised here.”
What service do you provide that you think people don’t know about?
“In addition to our core electrical contracting business, we’ve been doing a lot of work around energy-efficient lighting and solar electric systems over the past few years.”
Do you shop locally as well?
“Yes! I’ve always hated driving to Silverdale to get stuff that isn’t available here. I remember when the Food Co-op was in that little space Uptown with a very limited selection. I love going there now and seeing all of the food produced by local farmers. I’m also looking forward to the opening of Quimper Mercantile.”
Are you ever surprised by what you find here?
“The ‘City of Dreams’ is an appropriate name for Port Townsend. I’m always excited and hopeful when I see a new and creative business starting up. I’ve seen several like that this year.” — Allison Arthur

Thank you for supporting Port Townsend’s only authentic Indian Restaurant! We are pleased to present delicacies from the Punjab region of northwestern India. Indian food, like Indian culture, is both diverse and distinctive. Every Deepika and Manoj Kumar corner of India offers a vast range of culinary delights and has been influenced by many different cultures. Indian food is comprised of six basic tastes: sweet, sour, salty, spicy, bitter and astringent. A well balanced Indian meal contains many of these flavors. This principle explains the use of numerous spice combinations and depth of flavor. Thank you for supporting us in our second year!
Pane d’Amore We built a bakery because we love good bread, hard work, and our community.

Kristan McCary and her son Grady at the Ajax Café. Submitted photo
A taste of local wine, history Name of business: Ajax Café How long in business: Ajax Café has been in operating since 1977. Kristan McCary took ownership in 2004.
How do you encourage people to shop locally?
“Supporting locals is our value system,” McCary says. “We purchase as many of our menu items locally as possible and make a point to educate our customers on the abundance and truly amazing quality of ingredients grown and raised here in Jefferson County.”
What do you provide that’s special?
“Ajax is a piece of the area’s history, having been in the same Port Hadlock location for more than 30 years. The restaurant was founded by a group of gentlemen so that their band, and the community, would have a place to gather and play music. We keep this tradition alive with live performances by local artists every weekend.”
What do you like about The Local coupons?
“In the summertime we see a lot of new faces, and in the winter it’s our regulars, but everyone enjoys a good deal.”
What do you want people to know about your business that you don’t think they know?
“We put on a special wine dinner each month with the night’s menu highlighting a local food producer,” McCary says. “We also have events where a portion of the evening proceeds are donated to a local nonprofit, or nights where customers are encouraged to bring in donations for the food bank.”
What do you shop for locally?
“What don’t we shop for locally? Produce, cheese, beef and seafood whenever possible – you name it.” – Megan Claflin

Spinning, expanding a local business How long have you been in business?
Kevin Hansen built the first electric miniSpinner prototype, “Mark 1,” for his wife and business partner, Beth, in 2003. Originally based in Glen Cove, the Hansens recently opened a new manufacturing space in the Port Townsend Business Park.
How do you encourage people to shop locally?
“All of our retail business is based online, as we sell our spinners worldwide, but we regularly host spinners’ workshops, which bring people from all over the U.S. and Canada to Port Townsend. We put these folks up at the Bishop Hotel and give each of them a goody bag that includes items from several local businesses. We also regularly collaborate with other local businesses like Taylored Fibers and Diva Yarns through the WSU Jefferson County Extension Fiber Farm Tour.”
What do you provide that’s special?
“Great for spinners who travel, the one-of-a-kind miniSpinner is as powerful, yet as quiet, as a conventional treadle-drive wheel. With an improved speed controller, the newest design of the miniSpinner is prettier and more sophisticated.”
What do you want people to know about your business that you don’t think they know?
“We started as a cottage industry right about the time of the recession. Despite a challenged economy, we were able to identify a niche and our company blossomed and grew.”
What do you shop for locally?
“We are fortunate to work with the great staff at Edensaw Woods, where we purchase traditional cherry and maple woods as well as more exotic varieties like bloodwood and lacewood.” – Megan Claflin

Brandon Ellard & Jim Larson opened the Water St. Creperie in March 2010, in downtown Port Townsend, optimistic about Water Street’s future. A crêpe is a type of very thin, cooked pancake usually made from wheat flour. Creperies are popping up as a fast food alternative in other parts of the country.
A LOCAL FAVORITE! “We wanted a creperie because it was unique to Port Townsend. Come enjoy our comfortable atmosphere and seating, our monthly art exhibits and free Wi-Fi!” Become a fan on Facebook! Thank you for the support that has created our store. Nearly 900 shareholders have invested over $575,000 in the community corporation to date. This generous vote of confidence has allowed the Quimper Team to take action on the business plan presented in our Prospectus. Our fall 2012 opening is a testament to hard, persistent work inspired by our neighbors’ deep support and happy expectations.

Townsend Bay Soap suds up service Business: Townsend Bay Soap Company owned by Carol and Bob Middelburg and Patricia Grainger How long in business? 13 years
How do you encourage people to shop with you?
“I think the best way we encourage people to shop locally is our customer service. Carol in particular stays in constant contact with the retailers that are here in Port Townsend and makes sure they always have the inventory they want ... and I think customer service is a particularly strong part of the business,” says Grainger.
What do people like about your products?
“I think they like that they’re made locally; they like that they say Port Townsend. I hear all the time from people who bring out of town guests to places that carry our products to shop... They get sent all over the country as a way to say thank you or happy birthday,” says Carol Middelburg.
What do you provide that’s different?
“We’ve expanded our line within the last five years to include refills, liquid soap refills,” says Middelburg. “We’ve worked hard to get to zero waste,” agrees Grainger. Townsend Bay Soap Company also donates waste cuts of soap as single-use bars to Dove House, the American Legion, the Port Townsend Food Bank and other charities.
What do you shop for locally?
“I buy sandalwood powder for sandalwood soap and I buy it from a woman here. Mountain Spirit Herb Co. is the name of her company. Every chance we get, we buy locally. I buy my peppermint leaves locally. I buy as many essential oils from the Pacific Northwest as possible – which is actually quite a few,” says Middelburg. — Tristan Hiegler

The Plaid Pepper does Facebook Owners: Debbie and Larry Williams Business: The Plaid Pepper
How long have you been in business?
“Three years, started in new location Sept. 15, 2012.”
How do you encourage people to shop with you?
“I’m on Facebook a lot and there’s a couple of sites; ‘I’ve Heard of Quilcene’ is one of them on Facebook. So a lot of people go there just to advertise what they have. And we have a knitting group that comes in here every Thursday, which we started at the old place. Then we have a book club that meets once a month.”
What do you provide that’s different?
“I make bags, mesh bags. I’ve sold a lot of these, at Christmastime especially. I make spice mats ... you put a hot dish on it that brings the fragrance out.” (Debbie and Larry also run a hot dog cart outside the shop on weekends and added a mobile espresso bar after moving to the new location.)
What do you shop for locally?
“Princess Valiant Coffee out of Port Angeles, with a special roast only for The Plaid Pepper called Dabob Bay Roast. A Kingston metal artist, whose work decorates the shop. Lopez Larry’s Gourmet products, out of Lopez Island. Benchmark Woods custom wood pieces out of Chimacum. Keith Lazelle calendars, a Quilcene nature photographer. Members of the knitting group also submit pieces to sell, such as baby clothes and hats.”
Ever had an “ah-ha moment” shopping locally?
“The metal workings around the shop, by TecWeld in Kingston, fit in well with the shop’s celebration of marine life and Quilcene aquaculture.” – Tristan Hiegler

Let the sun pre-heat your water Sunlight, the Earth’s most abundant energy source, can be harnessed to pre-heat water for domestic or commercial uses. Flat-plate or evacuated tube collectors capture heat that is transferred to a storage tank. That heated water then goes to your conventional water heater. You use less energy; 60% less, at least. All for about a dollar-a-watt, installed. A fifty-gallon water heater uses about 5,000 kilowatt/hours per year to serve two people. A $6,000 investment can give those two people an $1,800 Income Tax credit, and the majority of their hot water for the next 20-plus years. A little help from the sun can reduce energy bills for you, and carbon dioxide emissions for all of us. Kenny Schordine • Solar Hot Water • 360-301-9870
