Teachers from Port Angeles and Sequim school districts will gather together for a noon rally at Veterans Park on Lincoln Street in Port Angeles during walkouts at their school districts Monday. Both Port Angeles and Sequim district schools will be closed Monday after teachers locals voted to join locals in other public school districts in the state in the job action urged by the Washington Education Association (WEA), a statewide teachers union, to protest inaction on court-ordered education funding. The 217 teachers in Port Angeles and the 175 in Sequim are among those in three public school districts on the North Olympic Peninsula that will stop work in the movement in which 55 public school districts out of 295 in the state are participating.

Ceremony switched to Civic Field BY ARWYN RICE PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — The graduation ceremony for the Port Angeles High School Class of 2015 has been relocated from the high school gymnasium to Civic Field because the gym isn’t big enough for all who want to come. The date and time have not changed. The commencement ceremony will begin at 7:30 p.m. June 12 at Civic Field on Race Street, between East Second and East Fourth streets. The ceremony is being relocated because of concerns for the safety of the more than 2,300 people expected to attend the graduation of about 250 seniors,

for extra tickets,” Clark said. Tickets for the ceremony have already been printed with the location listed as “PAHS Gym” but will be honored at the entrance to Civic Field. The change in venue comes exactly 50 years after the graduation venue was permanently changed in 1965 from the auditorium to the gymnasium to accommodate the wave of large baby boomer graduating classes, according to Peninsula Daily News archives. In 1975, the graduation was moved for a single year to Civic Field, said John Heilman, a member of the 1975 graduating class

and father of Connor Heilman, a member of the class of 2015. “I’m happy for them to do it,” Heilman said. The ceremony was a little windy, but the ability to get more family members into the ceremony was worth it, he said. Thursday’s All City Strings concert was also affected by safety and capacity issues, and was adjusted due to the large number of people who attended the event. About 600 students were scheduled to perform at the concert. The concert was split into two shows, reducing the number of people who crowded into the gymnasium to see their children perform.

JOHNNY GIMBLE, 88, a virtuoso Texas fiddler who played with a roster of country superstars including Bob Wills, Marty Robbins, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson and George Strait, died Saturday in Marble Falls, Texas, northwest of Austin. His wife, Barbara, said the cause was a stroke. Mr. Gimble’s musical life began before he was a teenager, when he started playing with his brothers in East Texas in a group that came to be called the Rose City Swingsters. It lasted well into the contemporary era of country music, when he recorded with Vince Gill and shared a stage with Carrie Underwood at the Grammy Awards. He was a gifted mandolin picker and was known to strum a banjo, but it was on fiddle that he became a celebrated sideman. Early on, his repertoire was a conventional one for country dances — waltzes and reels, jug-band music, a touch of mountain rag. Mr. Gimble became known as Western swing’s foremost purveyor on the fiddle, someone who could whip off a melody worthy of a line dance and follow it with 32 bars of vividly twangy variations on a theme. In the late 1960s, he moved to Nashville, Tenn. where he became one of country music’s most sought-after session players. He recorded with Chet
Atkins, Merle Haggard, Conway Twitty and Dolly Parton, among others, and was a member of the Million Dollar Band, an allstar ensemble including Atkins, Roy Clark and Floyd Cramer that was featured on the television show “Hee Haw.” After returning to Texas, he played regularly in Nelson’s band. He can be heard on George Strait’s 1983 album “Right or Wrong,” which reached No. 1 on Billboard’s country chart. He portrayed Bob Wills in the 1982 film “Honkytonk Man,” directed by and starring Clint Eastwood.
__________ FRAN FISHER, 91, who broadcast Penn State football games on the radio for many years, has died. Mr. Fisher’s son, Jerry, said his father was discovered in his State College, Pa., town house Mr. Fisher Thursday in 2010 morning but may have died late Wednesday. Jerry Fisher said his father died of natural causes. Mr. Fisher began working for the Penn State Radio Network in 1966. He did play-by-play from 1970 to 1982 and again from 1994 to 1999. A native of Greensburg, Pa., he was a former execu-
tive director of the Nittany Lion Club, which supports university athletics. He also ran an advertising and marketing firm.

Corrections and clarifications
1940 (75 years ago) Port Angeles has 9,179 people, according to preliminary figures from the 1940 federal census. That compares with 10,188 in the 1930 census. The current figures do not include 38 officers and men at the Coast Guard base on Ediz Hook, approximately 50 crew on the cutter Redwing and seven living on the Ediz Hook lighthouse reservation. Because of the population loss, the city stands to suffer a substantial loss in state gasoline tax and liquor tax revenues, City Clerk Nat Hawkins said.
1965 (50 years ago) The Port Angeles Parks Board heard a report on a proposed tourist information stop at the eastern entrance to the city. The location would be just east of the Westernaire Motel at First Street — U.S. Highway 101 — and North Penn Street. The center of attraction would be a large map of the city highlighting various points of interest, including parks, scenic stops, mills and roads leading to Hurricane Ridge, Ediz Hook and other locations.
The board voted to recommend to the City Council that the plans for the information stop proceed.
1990 (25 years ago) The “gateway triangle” on Kearney Street at Sims Way in Port Townsend will become a park, not the site of an office building. The Jefferson County Land Trust has acquired the triangular piece of property from a private owner with the help of the city of Port Townsend, Interwest Savings Bank and hundreds of citizens. The land trust is a sixmonth-old nonprofit organization that helps preserve natural habitats and open space for the public interest.

TODAY IS FRIDAY, May 15, the 135th day of 2015. There are 230 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: ■ On May 15, 1975, U.S. forces invaded the Cambodian island of Koh Tang and captured the American merchant ship Mayaguez, which had been seized by the Khmer Rouge. All 39 crew members had already been released safely by Cambodia; some 40 U.S. servicemen were killed in connection with the operation. On this date: ■ In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed an act establishing the Department of Agriculture. ■ In 1930, registered nurse Ellen Church, the first airline
stewardess, went on duty aboard an Oakland-to-Chicago flight operated by Boeing Air Transport (a forerunner of United Airlines). ■ In 1940, DuPont began selling its nylon stockings nationally. The original McDonald’s restaurant was opened in San Bernardino, Calif., by Richard and Maurice McDonald. ■ In 1963, astronaut L. Gordon Cooper blasted off aboard Faith 7 on the final mission of the Project Mercury space program. ■ In 1970, just after midnight, Phillip Lafayette Gibbs and James Earl Green, two black students at Jackson State College in Mississippi, were killed as police opened fire during student protests.
■ In 1972, Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace was shot and left paralyzed by Arthur H. Bremer while campaigning for president in Laurel, Md. Bremer served 35 years for attempted murder. ■ In 1988, the Soviet Union began the process of withdrawing its troops from Afghanistan, more than eight years after Soviet forces had entered the country. ■ In 1991, Edith Cresson was appointed by French President Francois Mitterrand to be France’s first female prime minister. ■ In 2000, by a 5-4 vote, the U.S. Supreme Court threw out a key provision of the 1994 Violence Against Women Act, saying that
rape victims could not sue their attackers in federal court. ■ Ten years ago: U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice paid a surprise visit to Iraq to express support for its new government. ■ Five years ago: Jessica Watson, a 16-year-old Australian who’d spent seven months at sea in her pink yacht, became the youngest person to sail around the world solo, nonstop and unassisted as she arrived in Sydney. ■ One year ago: President Barack Obama dedicated the National Sept. 11 Memorial Museum deep beneath ground zero, calling it a symbol that says of America: “Nothing can ever break us.”

A4 Briefly: Nation Amtrak to use tech aimed at stopping wrecks WASHINGTON — The deadly Amtrak derailment near Philadelphia appears to be yet another accident that didn’t have to happen. It could have been avoided if a long-sought safety technology had been operating on its tracks and trains, according to inforBostian mation gathered by accident investigators. On Thursday, Amtrak President Joseph Boardman said the nation’s passenger railroad will begin operating the technology, called positive train control, throughout its busy Northeast Corridor by the end of the year. The technology was installed on the tracks where the accident occurred, but it had not been turned on because further testing was needed, he said. The train’s engineer, Brandon Bostian, 32, applied maximum braking power seconds before the crash that killed at least eight people and injured about 200.
Jeb Bush on Iraq TEMPE, Ariz. — After days of refusing to say whether, with the benefit of hindsight, he would have ordered an invasion
of Iraq in 2003, Jeb Bush relented Thursday and said he would not have done so. “If we’re all supposed to answer hypothetical questions, knowing what we know now, what would you have done?” Bush said while campaigning in Arizona. “I would have not engaged. I would not have gone into Iraq.” Bush said Thursday his resistance to answering the question was caused both by loyalty to his older brother, George W. Bush, who ordered the invasion as president, and to the families of those lost in the war.
Speaker resigning JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Missouri House Speaker John Diehl said Thursday that he is resigning from the Legislature after acknowledging that he exchanged sexually charged text messages with a college student serving as a Capitol intern. Diehl said he is stepping down both from his House speaker’s position and from his elected job as a Republican representative from suburban St. Louis. He said the resignation would take effect either Thursday or today, depending on when an orderly transition can be arranged. His resignation announcement came a day after The Kansas City Star released a story accompanied by screenshots of what the newspaper said were electronic messages between Diehl and the intern, who no longer works at the Capitol.

Bill allows Congress review Iran nuke deal Measure goes to president for signature BY DEB RIECHMANN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Congress on Thursday sent President Barack Obama a bill to give lawmakers the power to review and potentially reject a nuclear deal with Iran. The House overwhelmingly passed the measure 400-25, a reflection of lawmakers’ insistence on having a say in what could be a significant international accord to get Iran to curb its nuclear program in exchange for relief from economic sanctions. Getting a deal would enhance Obama’s foreign policy record, and while the GOP-led Congress
doesn’t want to see a nucleararmed Iran, it is skeptical about Iranian compliance and has demanded time to review the fine points of any agreement the White House reaches with Tehran. Presidential spokesman Josh Earnest said again Thursday that Obama would sign the bill into law. Negotiators from the U.S. and five other nations are rushing to reach a deal with Tehran by the end of June.
Meet with Arab leaders As the House voted, Obama met at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland with Arab leaders in hopes of convincing them that U.S. overtures to Iran would not come at the expense of commitments to their security in the region. The Iran nuclear legislation would bar Obama from waiving
congressional sanctions for at least 30 days while lawmakers examine any final deal. The bill would stipulate that if senators disapprove of the deal, Obama would lose his current power to waive certain economic penalties Congress has imposed on Iran. The bill, which was passed last week by the Senate on a 98-1 vote, would require Congress to pass a resolution of disapproval to reject the deal, an action that Obama almost certainly would veto. Congress then would have to muster votes from two-thirds of each chamber to override the veto. Even if Congress rejects his final nuclear deal with Tehran, however, Obama could use his executive pen to offer a hefty portion of sanctions relief on his own. He could take unilateral actions that — when coupled with European and U.N. sanctions relief — would allow a deal to be implemented.
Briefly: World Islamic State releases audio from its leader BEIRUT — The Islamic State group Thursday released an audio message purportedly from its leader, Abu Bakr alBaghdadi, who has not been seen or heard from in months. The 35-minute audio message posted on militant websites features a voice that sounds like alBaghdadi’s exhorting all Al-Baghdadi Muslims to take up arms and fight on behalf of the group’s self-styled caliphate. The speaker references the Saudi-led air campaign against Shiite rebels in Yemen, which began March 26, and harshly criticizes the Saudi royal family. “Islam was never a religion of peace. Islam is the religion of fighting,” he said. “No one should believe that the war that we are waging is the war of the Islamic State. It is the war of all Muslims, but the Islamic State is spearheading it. It is the war of Muslims against infidels.”
Demolition plan UMM AL-HIRAN, Israel — Israelis are once again locked in a bitter settlement dispute with their Arab neighbors, but this
time the conflict is not unfolding in the West Bank but in Israel’s southern desert. After years of legal battles, Israel’s Supreme Court last week cleared the way for the government to uproot the nearly 60-year-old Bedouin Arab village of Umm al-Hiran and in its place build the new community of “Hiran.” The project has reignited a conflict between Israel’s Bedouin community, which said it is a victim of discrimination, and the government, which said it is trying to bring order to a lawless area.
Boat people refused LANGKAWI, Malaysia — Rohingya and Bangladeshis abandoned at sea following a crackdown on human traffickers had nowhere to go Thursday after Malaysia turned away two wooden boats crammed with hundreds of hungry people. Thailand, too, made it clear the migrants were not wanted. In the past three years, more than 120,000 members of Myanmar’s Muslim Rohingya minority, who are intensely persecuted in the Buddhist-majority country, have boarded ships to flee to other countries, paying huge sums to human traffickers. “What do you expect us to do?” asked Malaysian Deputy Home Minister Wan Junaidi Jafaar. “We have to send the right message.” Thai Prime Minister Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha, meanwhile, said his country couldn’t afford to host the refugees. The Associated Press

Man in custody for flying drone near White House BY ALICIA CALDWELL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Secret Service apprehended a man who was flying a small drone Thursday afternoon in a park outside the White House, a violation of federal aviation rules. Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary said the drone, about the size of an iPad, was flying at about 100 feet above Lafayette Park, which is just across Pennsylvania Avenue from the north fence of the White House. Leary said the operator was detained and asked to land the device.
Quick Read
He said the man complied and that the officers recovered the drone in the park. The Washington Metropolitan Police Department swept the drone and declared it safe. Leary said the man was turned over to the U.S. Park Police.
Lockdown of White House The incident occurred shortly after 1 p.m. and placed the White House on lockdown for more than an hour. President Barack Obama was away at the time, hosting a meeting with Persian Gulf leaders in
the Maryland presidential retreat of Camp David. From a photograph released by the Secret Service, the drone appeared to be a Parrot BeBop, which is equipped with a high-definition camera for capturing video and photographs and is sold commercially between $500 and $900. The drone can stream images back to its remote controller over a wireless connection, allowing it to be flown for up to 11 minutes at speeds up to 45 mph even outside the operator’s field of vision. Its engines are powerful enough to carry just under onehalf pound of extra equipment.

A WOMAN FATALLY shot two young children and then killed herself with a gunshot to the head inside an SUV parked in a desolate industrial zone of New Orleans on Thursday, police said. The grim discovery was made just hours after police issued an alert for a woman who had told her mother she was suicidal, had a gun and might harm her 3- and 5-year-old children. A police spokesman said the bodies have not been positively identified as those of Michelle McCullum and her children, but the dark blue 2014 Nissan Murano matched the description of her car and license plate.
A MICHIGAN MAN whose 13th son was just born says he’s convinced that “medically, it’s just not possible” for him and his wife to produce a daughter. He also said it’s proving a challenge to agree on a name for their newborn. Jay Schwandt, 40, told The Grand Rapids Press the baby and 40-year-old mother, Kateri, are doing well at Mercy Health Saint Mary’s Hospital in Grand Rapids. He’s 22 inches and weighs 8 pounds, 9 ounces. A Newcastle University 2008 study says 400 years of genealogical information shows some men may be genetically prone to having more sons.
GUNFIRE AND EXPLOSIONS rang out Thursday as military forces backing an attempted coup against President Pierre Nkurunziza battled troops loyal to him over key sites in Burundi’s capital, while his office reported he had returned to the country. Weeks of turmoil in this impoverished Central African country boiled over Wednesday when an army general announced that Nkurunziza was being ousted. The president was in Tanzania for a meeting with regional leaders. Late Thursday, his office announced on Twitter that Nkurunziza had returned.
THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT said Thursday it will give at least 50 million pesos ($3.3 million U.S.) to relatives of criminal suspects slain at a warehouse last year by soldiers, paying out under a law requiring compensation for victims of human rights violations. An investigation found 12 to 15 of the 22 dead suspects were killed by troops after surrendering. Jaime Rochin, head of the government Commission for Attending to Victims, said 13 families whose relatives were killed have been identified. The commission said in a statement it is analyzing how much to award each family.

PORT ANGELES — Port Angeles won by 296 votes over Bainbridge Island and advanced to the third of five rounds in Outside magazine’s fifth annual Best Town Ever online contest.

2-car wreck blocks eastbound 101 BY ARWYN RICE PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — Two Port Angeles drivers escaped serious injury in a broadside wreck at the intersection of Brook Avenue and U.S. Highway 101 on Thursday, the State Patrol said. At about 12:10 p.m., Margaret Breeden, 67, attempted to make it through a yellow traffic light at Brook Avenue while driving a white Chevy Malibu eastbound on Highway 101, said Trooper Russ Winger, spokesman for the State Patrol. Jayden Sparhawk, 17,
driving a black 1992 Honda Accord, was northbound on South Brook, had a green light and began to turn westbound on Highway 101 with the green traffic signal, then drove into the path of the Malibu, Winger said. The Malibu struck the Accord broadside on the driver’s side. Both vehicles were badly damaged, the State Patrol said. Both drivers were transported to Olympic Medical Center in Port Angeles with non-life-threatening injuries, Winger said. A hospital spokeswoman said Sparhawk was being
evaluated in the emergency room in satisfactory condition late Thursday afternoon. Breeden was not listed as a patient at that time, and no additional information was available. Eastbound traffic was backed up to South DelGuzzi Drive. The scene was cleared and the road fully reopened at about 1 p.m. Winger said both drivers were wearing seat belts, but only the Malibu had air bags, which deployed. Breeden will be cited for failure to stop, he said. Emergency responders
from Clallam County Fire District No. 2 were dispatched to assist at the wreck. Medic 21 arrived on scene to two cars blocking both eastbound lanes, said Assistant Chief Dan Huff. The Fire Department responded with one Medic unit, a fire engine and eight emergency personnel, who helped extract the drivers from their vehicles and direct traffic while the eastbound lanes were closed.

So are beer and good food — breweries, taverns, and restaurants abound. For Port Angeles, the magazine says: Population: 19,190 House Price: $201,900 On one side of town, you’ve got Olympic National Park — nearly 1,500 square miles of wilderness for hiking, rafting, and camping. On the other side is the Strait of Juan de Fuca, where you can hop into a sea kayak to paddle the Whale Trail. And right in town? Easy access to the Olympic Discovery Trail for more than 60 miles of running or cycling.
Port Angeles won by 28 votes over Santa Barbara, Calif. in the first round of the contest last week. Voting is now underway between Port Angeles and Glenwood Springs and runs until 8:59 p.m. Monday. To vote, go to http:// tinyurl.com/pdn-best. Each of the five rounds of voting lasts five days. They lead to a final showdown in which only two towns will remain. The contest began May 4, and the winner will be announced June 5. Results of the first round narrowed the field of 64 towns to 32. The second round went to 16. Each of the rounds will cut the list in half, with pairs of towns in each contest. The voting for Port Angeles has been promoted heavily by members of the Revitalize Port Angeles Facebook group. Revitalize’s Facebook page resounded with highfives Wednesday night: “Dancin’ in the streets!! Wooo whooo! We won!!” “Way to Go!!!!!!!!!!!” “I am LOVING all of the great energy and momentum our town is gaining! Amazing new businesses opening, sprucing up everywhere, winning contests . . .we are taking our town back and I love it!!” How were Port Angeles and the other towns in the contest picked by Outside? “Picking the [entries] in our fifth annual Best Town Ever contest wasn’t easy,” the magazine wrote. “We looked for places with great access to trails and public lands, thriving restaurants and neighborhoods, and, of course, a good beer scene — all while excluding the winners and runners-up from the past three years to make room for hidden gems, underdogs, and towns on the rise.”

Challenger emerges for Clallam commissioner 44 candidates have filed for 48 positions BY PAUL GOTTLIEB PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — Democratic Party challenger Mark Ozias has emerged to face incumbent Clallam County Commissioner Jim McEntire, a Sequim-area Republican. Ozias, executive director of the Sequim Food Bank, was among the nine candidates who filed to run for public office Thursday. That brings to 44 the number of candidates who have filed for 36 offices as election filing week draws to a close today. There are 48 positions up for election. Candidates can file for office from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. today at the county elections office in the basement of the courthouse at 223 E. Fourth St. in Port Angeles. Because their race is partisan, Ozias and McEntire automatically will be on the Aug. 4 primary ballot even if no one else files for the position. The general election is Nov. 3. Ozias, 45, who moved to Sequim from Seattle in 2004, is a former co-owner of the Red Rooster Grocery and the former executive director of the Sequim Open Aire Market. He also has served on the Sequim Planning Commission, an appointed position, and has never run for public office. If elected, Ozias said he would focus on building the county’s economy, fostering a spirit of collaboration and advocating for transparency and open government.

Ozias will take a hiatus from writing his Gazette column during the campaign. McEntire, 64, a former Port of Port Angeles commissioner, said Thursday he was expecting an opponent. “My main effort is getting face to face with as many voters as I possibly can and just present my case to everyone as I’ve always done,” he said.

Also filing Thursday for the SARC board were incumbent Melinda E. Griffith for re-election and Bill Jeffers for Gill Goodman’s SARC seat. Incumbents Donald R. Baker and Tracey Rascon filed for re-election Thursday to the Clallam Bayarea Quillayute Valley School Board. Incumbent Heather Jeffers, who filed Thursday for re-election to the Sequim School Board, is being challenged by Robin Henrikson, Willard Naslund and Rebecca Bratsman, who filed earlier this week. All four will be headed to the Aug. 4 primary, along with Heather Short, William Payne and Charles Meyer, who are vying for Walter Johnson’s Sequim School Board seat. Sean Ryan also filed Thursday to run for the Sequim-area Fire District No. 3 commissioner seat held by G. Michael Gawley, who was appointed to the position in 2014 and filed for election Monday. Shan Pak, a former software engineer, filed Wednesday to run for the Port Angeles City Council seat being vacated by retiring Mayor Dan Di Guilio. Meanwhile, Sequim City Councilman Ken Hays, Forks City Councilwoman Juanita Weissenfels and
Port Angeles School Board member Lonnie Linn filed for re-election Wednesday.

Inslee signs oil train safety bill BY PHUONG LE AND RACHEL LA CORTE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OLYMPIA — Gov. Jay Inslee signed into law Thursday a measure that attempts to improve the safety of oil transportation as a sharp increase in trains carrying volatile crude oil poses new safety and environmental risks in the state. A compromise reached on the last day of the regular legislative session resolved differences between competing bills in the Senate and House. “Even with the passage of this bill I remain very concerned about the safety of Washingtonians,” Inslee said. At least 24 oil trains have been involved in major ________ fires or derailments during Senior Staff Writer Paul Gottlieb the past decade in the U.S. can be reached at 360-452-2345, ext. 5060, or at pgottlieb@peninsuladaily and Canada, including a 2013 accident in Quebec news.com.
that killed 47 people. The latest derailment came earlier this month when a train carrying crude oil from the Bakken region derailed and caught fire in North Dakota, forcing the evacuation of a small town. Each week, 19 mile-long trains carrying crude oil roll through Washington state. State Department of Ecology officials say that number could jump to 137 or more trains a week if several proposed oil-by-rail facilities are built over the next several years. The bill signed by Inslee includes some provisions he wanted, such as requiring railroads hauling crude oil to show their ability to pay for oil spill cleanup and requiring facilities that receive oil by trains to provide weekly notice of the type and volume of oil shipped.

The event will end with closing ceremonies and free COLA floats, a play on words on Cost of Living Allowance. The WEA has said that other grievances include six years of stagnant wages and the lack of funding for across-the-board class size reductions approved by voters in Initiative 1351. Teachers have not received raises since receiving a cost of living adjustment in 2009. “We are making it fun,” Todd Miller said of the rally. “But this is also very personal. “In a small community, you see the kids everywhere you go.

Seattle, like it or not, is now Arctic base for rigs BY PHUONG LE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — The arrival in Seattle on Thursday of an oil rig Royal Dutch Shell is outfitting for oil exploration in the remote Arctic Ocean marks a pivotal moment for an environmental movement increasingly mobilized around climate change. Activists paddling out in kayaks to meet the rig off Seattle’s picturesque waterfront said it’s their moment to stand against opening a new frontier of fossil fuel exploration. “Unless people get out there and put themselves on the front lines and say enough is enough, then nothing will ever change,” said Jordan Van Voast, 55, an acupuncturist who was going out on the water to confront the Polar Pioneer. “I’m hopeful that people are waking up.” Polar Pioneer, a 355-foottall oil rig owned by Transocean Ltd., had been anchored in Port Angeles since April 17. It was towed out of the harbor by tugboats shortly before 2 a.m. Thursday. A few people were in tiny plastic boats in Seattle, dwarfed by the 400-footlong oil rig soaring above them. The image suggests how outmatched Shell’s opponents have been as they try to keep the petroleum giant from continuing its $6 billion effort to open new oil and gas reserves in one of the world’s most dangerous maritime environments. But environmental groups in the Pacific Northwest are sensing a shift in the politics that surround energy production and have mobilized against a series of projects that would transform the region into a gateway for crude oil and coal exports to Asia.

Disabled vessel, Coast Guard boat collide off LaPush PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
LAPUSH — A Coast Guard helicopter crew from Port Angeles transferred two men to Neah Bay on Thursday after they were injured in an apparent collision between their disabled boat and a Coast Guard vessel 30 miles west of LaPush. The Coast Guard had received a radio distress call from the recreational craft Nauti Cat saying the boat was disabled by a dead battery and asking for assistance for the sevenperson crew. The Nauti Cat was participating in a halibut derby. The Coast Guard dispatched a 47-foot motor life boat crew from Coast Guard Station Quillayute River. While taking the vessel in tow, a collision between the response boat and the Nauti Cat injured the two men and cracked the Nauti Cat’s hull above the water-
line, the Coast Guard said. An MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew from Air Station/Sector Field Office Port Angeles transported the pair to emergency medical personnel in Neah Bay. They then were taken to Olympic Medical Center in Port Angeles with what the Coast Guard called non-lifethreatening injuries. A state Fish and Wildlife boat crew took the remaining five boaters aboard and towed the disabled recreational vessel to LaPush. No names of the people were released. The Coast Guard is investigating the incident, according to Chief Petty Officer David Mosley, Coast Guard spokesman. There were no reports of damage to the Coast Guard life boat, Mosley said. Mosley said he did not know how many Coast Guard members were on the life boat when it collided with the Nauti Cat.

Shell spokesman Curtis Smith called Monday’s approval “is an important milestone and signals the confidence regulators have in our plan.” Officials in Alaska have welcomed the drilling, even flying to Seattle this week to lobby for Shell’s plan. Labor groups representing port workers noted that Foss Maritime is employing more than 400 people already to service the Shell fleet.

roads, air strips and other facilities. Shell’s last effort to do exploratory drilling in the Arctic Ocean also left from Seattle and ended badly. The Noble Discoverer and the Kulluk — a rig Shell had spent hundreds of millions of dollars to customize— were stranded by equipment failures in terrible weather, and the Coast Guard barely rescued the Kulluk’s crew. Federal investigations resulted in guilty pleas and fines for rig owner Noble Drilling. The Kulluk ended up on a scrap heap in China. Shell is leasing the Polar Pioneer in its stead, again backed by the Noble Discoverer. But Shell says it gained has vital experience and can safely drill on its leases in the Chukchi Sea, as well as the Beaufort Sea, an even more remote stretch north of the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge where it
Seattle Mayor Ed Murray, for his part, is strongly against hosting Shell’s fleet, warning that the port could face daily fines because it lacks the proper permit. Those fines would amount to no more than $500 a day for the port — a tiny drop in a very large barrel if Shell, one of the world’s largest companies, manages to recover billions of gallons of oil from the Arctic Ocean. Seattle’s environmentalists, however, have a sense that their time is now. When the Kulluk was being prepared in 2012 for Shell’s last Arctic venture, “it wasn’t this big civic moment,” recalled KC Golden, a senior policy adviser for Climate Solutions, an organization advocating for renewable energy. But “now it is,” Golden said. “That’s a measure of how the awareness has grown. I think it’s a moment for Seattle.” The Noble Discoverer, which arrived in Everett on Monday, will remain there for another two to three weeks before traveling to Seattle to meet up with the Polar Pioneer, said Lisa Lefeber, Port of Everett director of public affairs.
Wednesday afternoon, he added. Jefferson County Public Health has issued a “no contact” health advisory for Port Ludlow Bay and posted warning signs. The advisory will remain in effect until Wednesday. It advises the public to avoid any contact with the water in Port Ludlow Bay, including swimming, kayaking, fishing and harvesting of shellfish and seaweed. The harvesting of shellfish is always closed in Port Ludlow due to the proximity of the sewage treatment plant outfall and marina.

Forks police seek two after alleged robbery FORKS — City police Thursday were looking for two people they said robbed a Forks resident of about $350 at knifepoint Wednesday. Elijah Daniels, 25, and Felisha Jackson, 28, were being sought for the robbery that occurred on the 500 block of Bogachiel Way at about 1:15 p.m., police said. No one was injured. Daniels and Jackson, who were described as Native Americans from the Forks area, are acquaintances of the alleged victim, Forks police spokeswoman Kelsey Pearson said. “It appears they did know each other,” she said. Anyone with information about Daniels’ or Jackson’s whereabouts is asked to phone 9-1-1. Do not approach the subjects, Pearson said.

‘Sleeping giant’ “These proposals have woken a sleeping giant in the Northwest,” said Eric de Place, policy director for Sightline Institute, a liberal Seattle think tank. “It has unleashed this very robust opposition movement.” Shell still needs other permits from state and federal agencies, including one to actually drill offshore in the Arctic and another to dispose of wastewater. But it’s moving ahead meanwhile, using the Port of Seattle to load drilling rigs and a fleet of support vessels with supplies and personnel before spending the brief Arctic summer in the Chukchi Sea, which stretches north from the Bering Strait between Alaska and Russia. Hurricane-force winds and 50-foot seas can quickly threaten even the sturdiest ships in the seas off Alaska.

Official defends sales tax holiday Clallam commissioner: I will fight to reduce community’s ‘burden’ BY ROB OLLIKAINEN PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — It’s just a cup of coffee. That’s how longtime Clallam County Commissioner Mike Chapman has justified his Chapman support for nominal tax increases in his 15 years in office. Chapman on Tuesday defended the county’s recently adopted 0.2 percent sales tax holiday and apologized for contributing to the tax burden of a struggling community. “I deeply apologize to this community for adding to this burden, and I hope that in some way, there’s a measure of forgiveness today to reduce that burden,” Chapman said in a public hearing. “I will continue to fight to reduce the burden going forward until such time as the average wage in this community is a living wage and the economy is really growing and expanding.” Chapman joined fellow Commissioners Jim McEntire and Bill Peach in passing an ordinance that will lower the sales tax rate from 8.4 percent to 8.2 percent in unincorporated areas effective July 1.
The ordinance was a legal formality, as commissioners voted April 14 to reduce the tax rate until further notice by resolution to the state Department of Revenue. Clallam County is believed to be the first in the state to reduce its optional sales tax rate, Revenue officials told County Administrator Jim Jones. Two of three public speakers who addressed the tax break spoke against it in a 90-minute meeting Tuesday. A common argument has been the tax holiday would do little good. A $100 purchase in unincorporated Clallam County will cost 20 cents less on July 1 than it will June 30.
Cup of coffee “It’s interesting that on the way up, when taxes are increased, those are the same arguments that are made: that it’s just a little bit of money, it’s a cup of coffee year over a year,” Chapman said. “So government, traditionally, over a long period of time takes that annual cup-of-coffee increase and eventually, I think the pain is inflicted. I think it is a cumulative effect.” Chapman has announced that he will not seek re-election in 2016. He said the low-income
majority in Clallam County has reached a “breaking point.” “If I, in some symbolic measure, can at least reduce a measure of burden, I’m willing to do it,” Chapman said. “One of the burdens that I’ve carried over the years is that I have made, from this dais, the comment that it’s just a cup of coffee when looking at a 1 percent property tax increase, when looking at various sales tax increases. “And I, for one, take full responsibility that I have lent to the pressure this community feels and the burdens that people carry every day trying to make house payments, tax payments, utility payments.” Chapman voted against the 1 percent property tax increase for the first time in his career last December. The new-look board has decided this year to spend down excess revenue in ways that help the economy and the poor. “I don’t think the sales tax is enough,” Chapman said. “I would roll back property taxes, and I would eliminate the real estate excise tax. I think a threepronged tax cut would actually make an improvement on the economy.”
Three-pronged tax cut Chapman said he would pitch the three-pronged tax cut in the 2016 budget process to help support those who are raising children on
“There are a lot of people who would dream, households who would dream, to make $70,000 in combined income. So I think this is a first step. I don’t think it’s the last. I’ll spend my next 18 months fighting for more reductions, more cutbacks to help those people who are on the lower income level.” MIKE CHAPMAN Clallam commissioner $25,000 salaries. “We’re the 1 percent of Clallam County, those of us who make $70,000-plus a year,” Chapman said. “There are a lot of people who would dream, households who would dream, to make $70,000 in combined income. So I think this is a first step. I don’t think it’s the last. I’ll spend my next 18 months fighting for more reductions, more cutbacks to help those people who are on the lower income level.” Commissioners said they would revisit the sales tax rate in the future. “Everything that we can do to get behind our economy and push it as fast and as hard as we can — be that whatever it is — is to the benefit to our community,” McEntire said. “This is just one of those things.” Peach predicted that the tax reduction would help the economy, noting a conversation he had had with a couple considering a move to Port Angeles. “The fact that we have lowered our sales tax was something that they were
quite interested in,” Peach said. “They saw that as a gesture that we are interested in bringing businesses to Clallam County.” McEntire and Peach are first-term Republicans. Chapman is a former Republican who is no longer party-affiliated.
‘Scratch out a living’ “In 18 months, I actually look forward to joining my fellow citizens in the rolls of the unemployed in Clallam County and trying to scratch out a living,” Chapman said. “That may seem weird. That may seem bizarre to a lot of people, but it is something that I have to do to come back to the common man in this community and walk side by side with them. “So this is my role in saying I feel your pain. This isn’t a Bill Clinton moment. This is genuine.”

Tourney is renamed for fallen tribal leader Golf event to take place in Sequim PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
SEQUIM — The Billy Frank Jr. Memorial Golf Tournament, a fundraiser for Salmon Defense, will be held at the Cedars at Dungeness Golf Course, 1965 Woodcock Road on Saturday. A full roster of teams with a total of 144 players from different tribes and businesses are set to tee off in a shotgun start at 1:30 p.m. Registration is closed. The public is welcome to watch, said Fran Wilshusen, executive director of Salmon Defense, speaking from Olympia. Since 2005, Salmon Defense — which was formed by the 20 Western Washington tribes — had held the Salmon Defense Golf Tournament to raise awareness and fund operations.
Named for Frank Jr. This year, the tournament has been renamed in honor of its founding board chairman, Billy Frank Jr., who died in May 2014 at the age of 84. Starting in 2016, the annual tournament will be permanently named the Billy Frank Jr. Golf Classic. Frank, a Nisqually tribal member and chairman of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission, was an eminent tribal leader. His arrest for salmon fishing as a Nisqually boy in 1945 led him on a long campaign for tribal rights, and he was arrested more than 50 times in the “Fish Wars” of that period. The issue was taken to federal courts, and District Judge George Hugo Boldt found in favor of the tribes in 1974. The Boldt decision established the 20 treaty tribes in Western Washington — including those on the North Olympic Peninsula — as co-managers of the salmon resource and reaffirmed the tribal right to half of the harvestable salmon returning to Western Washington. Players in this Saturday’s tournament will include members of the Salmon Defense board, including the new chairman, Robert Whitener. The tournament is supported by 33 sponsors both within and outside of Indian Country.
Sponsorships Each sponsor donates $2,500, Wilshusen said. Team registrations are $500. The Jamestown S’Klallam tribe is the title sponsor with its donation of the Cedars at Dungeness Golf Course and the banquet room. Proceeds support the nonprofit formed to educate, advocate and litigate if necessary on behalf of salmon and salmon habitat, Wilshusen said. The organization has developed educational videos, hosts tables offering information at festivals and works for improved water quality to keep toxics out of the fish food supply, according to Wilshusen. “People are coming together from all across the state — the country — to raise money to defend and protect the region’s salmon,” she said.

America’s bitter backdrop to 2016 ALREADY THE POLLING for the presidential race is feverish, with new findings daily. Which Republican is leading in New Hampshire? How do voters feel, at any evanescent moment, about Frank Hillary ClinBruni ton? But there’s a climate in the country that’s larger than any contender, strangely resistant to the sorts of ups and downs that a campaign endures and as crucial to the outcome of the election as the clash of personalities that commands the lion’s share of our attention. It’s a mood of overarching uncertainty and profound anxiety. And it’s so ingrained at this point that we tend to overlook it. For a stunningly long period now, American voters have been pessimistic about the country’s future — and their own. They sense that both at home and abroad, we have lost ground and keep losing more. And the presidency may well be determined not by any candidate’s fine-tuned calibration on hot-button issues or by cunning electoral arithmetic. It may hinge on eloquence,

boldness and a bigger picture. If one of the aspirants can give credible voice to Americans’ insecurity and trace a believable path out of it, he or she will almost certainly be victorious. In a column a year ago, I noted that for a solid decade, the percentage of Americans who said that the United States was on the wrong track had exceeded the percentage who said that it was on the right track, according to polling by NBC News and The Wall Street Journal. I wondered about a change in the very psychology and identity of a country once famous for its sunniness about tomorrows. Since then the NBC News/ Wall Street Journal poll has asked the right track/wrong track question another 10 times, and “wrong track” has continued to prevail without interruption and by substantial margins. The split as of two weeks ago was 62 percent to 28 percent. Other polls have yielded similar findings even as unemployment dropped and the recession faded ever further from view.
Some projections validate voters’ gloom. In The Washington Post recently, Robert Samuelson observed that while the American economy expanded at an average annual rate of 4 percent from 1950 to 1973, it’s predicted to grow just 2.1 percent annually over the next decade. The 6 percent increases that weren’t uncommon in the 1990s are apparently long gone. “We can’t do much about this,” Samuelson wrote, citing the retirement of baby boomers and the spread of new technologies that could sideline workers. The latter dynamic is the focus of a new book, Rise of the Robots, that’s about as scary as the title suggests. It’s not science fiction, but rather a vision (almost) of economic Armageddon.
Its author, Martin Ford, invokes robots as a metaphor for the technological innovations, including better software and sophisticated algorithms, that have or will put machines in jobs once held by people. Computers, he notes, can now perform legal, pharmaceutical and medical work. They can produce journalism. In a conversation on Tuesday, he told me: “If you automate all of these jobs, and technology drives down wages, then consumers have less purchasing power, which can lead to a downward economic spiral.” Lead to? We’ve known ample spiraling already, and the context for Americans’ apprehensions is a flourishing debate about whether the American moment is over. The title of a gathering this week of professors, politicians and writers at the Wilson Center in Washington, D.C., asks: “Is the United States at a Crossroads?” Specific panels will mull related questions: “America’s Decline: Myth or Reality?” and “Is the United States Still the ‘Indispensable Nation’?” In The New York Times last month, Jonathan Weisman interviewed officials involved in the spring meetings of the Interna-
tional Monetary Fund and the World Bank and noted that “concern is rising in many quarters that the United States is retreating from global economic leadership.” The economist Edwin Truman, who worked in the Obama administration, told Weisman: “We’re withdrawing from the central place we held on the international stage.” This sense of American drift, of American sputtering, informs President Barack Obama’s current push for a sweeping trade agreement and his support for energy exploration, including drilling in the Atlantic and the Arctic. He’s after some economic juice. It will inform the 2016 presidential election, too. Politicians and voters will wrangle in the foreground over taxes, the minimum wage, student debt, immigration. But in the background looms a crisis of confidence that threatens to become the new American way. Let’s hope for a candidate with the vision and courage to tackle that.

Poisoned workers in the quest for perfect nails NEW YORK GOV. Andrew Cuomo announced emergency protections this week for the state’s nail salon workers, just days after two New York Times reports detailed widespread wage theft and health risks. [Read more at http://tinyurl. com/pdn-salons.] The stories illuminated just how vulnerable these workers are. Often recent immigrants, with low English fluency and few marketable skills, they’re essentially indentured to nail salons. They endure not only stolen tips, pay far below minimum wage and no overtime, but their salons take few measures to shield them from exposure to toxic chemicals used in manicures and pedicures. Medical research shows a link between the chemicals that make nail and beauty products useful — the ingredients that make them chip-resistant and pliable, quick to dry and brightly colored — and serious health problems. Studies have also found that cosmetologists — a group that includes manicurists — have elevated rates of death from Hodgkin’s disease, of low birthweight babies and of multiple myeloma, a form of cancer. But nail salons aren’t the only workplaces with few rules and little oversight. Mary Vogel, executive director of the National Council on Occupational Safety and Health, and Charlene Obernauer, executive director of the organization’s New York chapter, pointed out a few other examples of occupations where workers experience similar vulnerabilities:
Temporary workers As an extensive Pro Publica investigation and National Employment Law Project report last year showed that workers employed by staffing agencies —

The Occupational Health and Safety Administration has an initiative to make employers aware of their obligations, and some states are starting to make them liable for the labor violations of their subcontractors, but the industry remains broadly unregulated.
Fracking workers, farm workers Hydraulic fracturing has grown rapidly in the United States, but regulation of its associated hazards — not to mention inspections of the thousands of rig sites around the country — haven’t kept up say, safety experts say. That’s led to spiking numbers of fatalities as well as injuries like burns, exposure to volatile organic compounds, and crushed limbs, overwhelming local health budgets. Unlike coal mining, fracking for natural gas isn’t specifically regulated by a federal agency like the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and OSHA’s resources have been too limited to fully address the problems.

Only a few states give farm workers the right to overtime pay, for example, and they don’t have the right to organize unions or bargain collectively with employers. They’re allowed to work at as young as 14 — with even younger workers sometimes found in tobacco fields — and are often exposed to pesticides. And the vulnerabilities extend forward through the supply chain, especially at meatpacking plants where production lines run at speeds that can cause carpal tunnel and sliced fingers.
Domestic workers Workers who serve families or the elderly in their homes have historically been treated as something less than fully fledged employees. Home health aides were only recently granted the right to earn the federal minimum wage and overtime pay. But even with those new pro-
tections, in-house maids often work without contracts or under the table entirely, leaving them without healthcare benefits or workers compensation.
‘Carwasheros’ People who work at car washes put in long hours with harsh cleaning chemicals, often without rest breaks or drinking water, and sometimes for employers that don’t pay proper wages or benefits. That’s especially true when they’re expected to make money on tips. “In industries where tips are common, so too is wage theft and exploitation,” says Obernauer, who also includes restaurant workers in that definition. Campaigns in New York and Los Angeles have organized thousands of “carwasheros,” as they’re called, to fight wage theft and push for legislation that would require more oversight of car washes, which can be unlicensed and difficult to sue if violations are discovered.

Proud of police Police officers in three of my favorite places come to mind this year. Sadly, in Mississippi, the state of my birth, two police officers were dealt the fatal blow that each and every uniformed officer faces sometimes, even for the simple act of issuing a traffic ticket. In a different outcome, blessings to the officer whose presence of mind and coolness in the face of danger saved many by killing the two terrorists who threatened peace in the Texas city of my childhood and adult years. Here, in the place I have chosen as my home for the past 28 years, [Clallam County Sheriff’s] Deputy Don Kitchen’s cordial and professional way caught my attention and gave evidence of answered prayer for quality in his area of law enforcement. Lastly, the Port Angeles police can be proud of one who recently issued me a traffic ticket. But Officer Anthony Bush did it with such decency that I could not ignore his true personification of a “peace officer.” Despite all the sad news this year, I would like to extend a prayer of blessings across the board to those whose hearts, heads and actions demonstrate what we as citizens expect and need from our law enforcement.

A terrible week for Jeb Bush, by George LET’S DISCUSS JEB Bush’s terrible week. I’m really troubled by his awful performances, and I’m generally a person who takes bad news about politicians pretty well. For instance, a friend just Gail sent me a story about the Texas Collins agriculture commissioner’s vow to bring deepfried foods back to school cafeterias. (“It’s not about French fries; it’s about freedom.”) I would classify this as interesting, yet somehow not a shocking surprise. But today we’re talking about Jeb Bush. As a presidential hopeful, Bush’s most attractive feature was an aura of competence. Extremely boring competence, perhaps. Then, about a week ago, The Washington Post reported that during a private meeting with rich Manhattan financiers, Bush announced that his most influential adviser on Middle Eastern matters was his brother, George. This was a surprise on many fronts. For one thing, Jeb had apparently missed the memo on how everything you say to potential donors at private meetings can wind up on an endless YouTube loop for all eternity. Also, he had begun his all-butannounced campaign for the presidency with an “I’m my own man” sales pitch. Now he was saying, in effect, “Well, I can always ask my brother.” Then, on Monday, Fox News aired an interview in which host Megyn Kelly asked Jeb whether “knowing what we know now” he would have authorized the invasion of Iraq.
“I would have, and so would have Hillary Clinton, just to remind everybody,” Bush replied. Now no one, including Hillary Clinton’s worst enemy in the entire world, thinks that if she could go back in time to 2002, knowing that the invasion of Iraq was going to be a total disaster and that she would lose the presidential nomination in 2008 to a guy who ran on that very issue, she would still have voted to authorize the use of force. So, obviously, Bush misheard the question, right? Apparently not. He then went on: “I mean, so just for the news flash to the world if they’re trying to find places where there’s big space between me and my brother, this might not be one of those.” We had now learned that: (1) Jeb Bush still thinks invading Iraq was a good idea; and (2) he has inherited more of the family syntax issues than we knew. Fast-forward one day: “I interpreted the question wrong, I guess,” Bush told Sean Hannity in a radio interview. “I was talking about given what people knew then, would you have done it, rather than knowing what we know now. And knowing what we know now, you know, clearly there were mistakes.” He still didn’t claim that he’d have done anything different than his brother had done. (“That’s a hypothetical.”) But he was really nailing down that business about mistakes. Then Bush was off to Nevada, campaigning in his own special way: “I’m running for president in 2016, and the focus is going to be about how we, if I run, how do you create high sustained economic growth.” What is going on here? It’s not actually about foreign policy. Jeb Bush clearly knows nothing whatsoever about foreign policy, but then neither do the major-
ity of other Republican presidential hopefuls. The bottom line is that so far he seems to be a terrible candidate. He couldn’t keep his “I’m-myown-man” mantra going through the spring. He over-babbled at a private gathering. He didn’t know how to answer the Iraq question, which should have been the first thing he tackled on the first day he ever considered that he might someday think for even a minute about running for president. There are lots of Americans who are not going to vote Republican next year, but who nevertheless have found some comfort in the idea that Jeb Bush would almost certainly be the Republican nominee. They might disagree with him on a lot of issues, but at least he wasn’t Ted Cruz. “I’m a fan of Jeb Bush,” Cruz said cruelly, when asked about the Iraq incident. “I’ll give him credit for candor and consistency.” If the version of Jeb Bush we’ve been seeing lately is the one we’re going to be stuck with, then one of the other Republican contenders is going to win. Maybe the guy who thinks Obamacare is the worst thing since slavery. Or the guy who once linked vaccines to children with mental disorders. The guy who used to peddle a “Diabetes Solution Kit.” The guy with the bridge traffic jam! Right now, you know, it’s all hypothetical.

Obamacare sites on life support AT A RECENT White House science fair celebrating inventors, a Girl Scout who helped design a Lego-powered page-turning device asked President Barack Obama what he had ever thought up or prototyped. Stumbling for an answer, Michelle he replied: “I came up Malkin with things like, you know, health care.” Ah, yes. “Health care.” Remember when the president’s signature Obamacare health insurance exchanges were going to be the greatest thing since sliced bread, the remote control, jogger strollers, Siri, the Keurig coffee maker, driverless cars and Legos all rolled into one? The miraculous, efficient, costsaving, innovative 21st-century government-run “marketplaces” were supposed to put the “affordable” in Obama’s Affordable Care Act. Know-it-all bureaucrats were going to show private companies how to set up better websites (gigglesnort), implement better marketing and outreach (guffaw), provide superior customer service (belly laugh), and eliminate waste, fraud and abuse (LOLOLOL). You will be shocked beyond belief, I’m sure, to learn that Obamacare exchanges across the country are instead bleeding money, seeking more taxpayer bailouts and turning everything they touch to chicken poop. Wait, that’s not fair to chicken poop, which can at least be composted. “Almost half of Obamacare exchanges face financial struggles in the future,” The Washington Post reported last week. The news comes despite $5 billion in federal taxpayer subsidies for IT vendors, call centers and all the infrastructure and manpower needed to prop up the showcase
government health insurance entities. Initially, the feds ran 34 state exchanges; 16 states [including Washington] and the District of Columbia set up their own. While private health insurance exchanges have operated smoothly and satisfied customers for decades, the Obamacare models are on life support. Oregon’s exchange is six feet under — shuttered last year after government overseers squandered $300 million on their failed website and shady consultants who allegedly set up a phony website to trick the feds. The FBI and the U.S. Health and Human Services inspector general’s office reportedly have been investigating the racket for more than a year now. In the People’s Republic of Hawaii, which has been a “trailblazer” of socialized medicine for nearly four decades, the profligate state-run exchange demanded a nearly $30 million cash infusion to remain financially viable after securing $205 million for startup costs. The Hawaii Health Connector accidentally disconnected hundreds of poor patients’ accounts and squandered an estimated 8,000 hours on technological glitches and failures. Enrollment projections were severely overinflated, like a reverse Tom Brady scandal. After failing to secure a bailout, Hawaii announced this week that its exchange would be shut down amid rising debt. In Maryland, a state audit found that its health insurance exchange “improperly billed the federal government $28.4 million as former Gov. Martin O’Malley’s administration struggled to launch what would become one of the most troubled websites in the nation,” The Baltimore Sun reported in late March. That’s in addition to the $90 million the state blew on technical problems. The state scrapped its junk website and forced enrollees to
resubmit to the tortuous sign-up process all over again. Last week, federal prosecutors subpoenaed the Massachusetts Obamacare exchange after whistleblowers there exposed what a “technological disaster” its “Health Connector” program was. Boston’s Pioneer Institute senior fellow in health care, Josh Archambault, released a report Monday detailing the “complete incompetence” of the state’s health bureaucrats from Day One. But taxpayers would be lucky if incompetence were the only sin. After firing the tech boneheads of CGI, the same company behind the federal healthcare.gov meltdown, Massachusetts officials “appear to have lied to the federal government to cover up mistakes” made by both the state and the IT company. “In at least two instances we uncovered,” Archambault revealed, what the state told the feds “was either in direct conflict with internal audits or highly improbable given what was being said in the audit and what whistleblowers said was happening at the time.” As health care analyst Phil Kerpen of the free-market group American Commitment points out, Massachusetts “already had a functioning state health exchange” but “after receiving $179 million from federal taxpayers” to reconstitute it under Obamacare, “they were able to break that existing exchange beyond repair.” An amazing feat. Lesson for inventive Scouts and students wondering about what people in Washington, D.C., prototype: Government bureaucrats don’t make things, kids. They break things.

Rhody Fest a-blooming Weekend brings past, present PT residents together BY CHARLIE BERMANT PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT TOWNSEND — The 80th annual Port Townsend Rhododendron Festival slips into the home stretch this weekend with a series of special events, culminating with Saturday’s Grand Parade. Rhody kicks off the Port Townsend festival season that includes Steampunk, May 29-31; Fiddle Tunes, June 28-July 5; Jazz Port Townsend, July 19-26; the Acoustic Blues Festival, July 26-Aug. 2; the Port Townsend Film Festival, Sept. 25-27; and, last but not least, the Kinetic Skulpture Race, Oct. 2-4. But while those festivals draw tourists into the town, Rhody brings in a different crowd: former Port Townsend residents who treat the week as if it were one huge family reunion. “People get to see all of their former classmates and all their friends,” said Brandi Hamon, secretary of the Rhody Fest board.
‘About the community’ “It’s all about the community.” This year’s Rhody Royalty includes Queen Sam Smith, 17, along with Princesses Morgan Chaffee, 17, Deidra Morris, 16, and Lillian Kelly, 17. All are juniors, an advantage over past royal courts because they will be available for activities during the next school year. The summer is always the busiest time for royalty because of parades across the state, but there are some activities that occur during the school year. This year’s royalty serves until March when a new group is selected. Most years, royalty consists of

Hone zombie-escape skills
Rhododendron Fest schedule full of fun
Mud run gives participants chance to test moves PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — Peninsula College will host the Pirate Zombie Mud Run beginning at 10 a.m. Saturday. Competitors will need speed, skill in negotiating obstacles and cunning to avoid becoming a victim of the “zombies” that are expected to infect the campus and woods behind the campus, said Jeremiah Johnson, Peninsula College activities coordinator. The 15 obstacles will include a mud pit crawl, a catwalk, a graveyard, hanging tires, the “blades of glory,” a water slide and two water tanks that require an underwater swim. Also, there will be six “zombie zones” where costumed zombies will attempt to take participants’ flags. Each contestant will wear a flag football belt with three flags. Survivors — those who still have at least one flag at the finish line — get an official time.
“The top male and female survivors will receive trophies,” Johnson said. Competitors have the option of skipping any obstacle, but there is a time penalty for going around, Johnson said. There is a way to earn a flag just before the finish line — for a price. “There is one final obstacle. If you complete it, you get a flag,” Johnson said. There is no penalty for skipping the final obstacle, so those who still have a flag would be advised to skip it to avoid losing time, he said. The run will be split into three categories: ■ 10 a.m. — Youth Pirate Zombie Mud Run, for those 8 to 15 years old. Registration is $40 and includes a T-shirt and lunch. ■ 10:45 a.m. — Creepy Crawlers run on a limited course, for those 4 to 7. Registration is $15 and includes a T-shirt and snack.
■ 12:30 p.m. — Pirate Zombie Mud Run, for those 16 and older. Registration is $40 and includes a T-shirt and lunch. The best zombies will get prizes. Each will get a T-shirt and lunch. Proceeds will fund scholarships at Peninsula College, Johnson said. The run is part of Zombie Week — which began Wednesday with a blood drive and a voter registration booth hosted by the Clallam County League of Women Voters. Register for the race at www.tinyurl. com/PDN-Zombies. Participants also can register the day of the race, Johnson said. For more information, contact Johnson at 360-417-6352 or jpjohnson@pencol.edu.

Diana came to Crestwood post surgically for removal of a left frontal lobe brain tumor. She was experiencing progressive weakness and confusion, along with word finding difficulties when she was hospitalized. She arrived with weakness specifically on the side of her body; she was unable to write or tie her shoes as she once had. Within days, Diane was able to maneuver in her wheel chair around the facility, always smiling and willing to work with her occupational, speech and physical therapists. She eventually graduated to using a rolling walker, improvising her balance and endurance in standing to complete valued tasks such as jamming with her husband, Ron, as he would frequently bring in their music book and play Bluegrass tunes. They have spent many years together attending Bluegrass festivals and it was evident that as Diane progressed in her therapy, she was able to easier engage in playing her baritone ukulele or guitar as Ron strummed his mandolin by her side, both singing to their hearts content, bringing smiles and tapping toes to those who stopped to listen. Within a few weeks, Diane progressed to walking without an assistive device and was found many times in occupational therapy doing the “electric slide,” confidently completing the grapevine with ease. By the end of her time at Crestwood, she easily was able to care for herself, completing her basic routine with independence, accessing medical appointments with her husband and socializing within the facility with ease. We wish her the best of luck and will miss her!!

Coast is the place to be this weekend HALIBUT, LINGS, KINGS and rockfish make for quadruplewhammy potential this weekend off LaPush and Neah Bay. Those fishing today can vie for Michael their first king Carman of the summer salmon season, and go after both halibut and salmon Saturday. Lingcod and rockfish are the other opportunities, with lings open through mid-October and rockfish available year-round. “Saturday will be great. You can go for salmon early and then go hatch halibut before moving in to catch a ling or go after sea bass [rockfish],” Joey Lawrence of Big Salmon Resort (360-645-2374) in Neah Bay said. “Good time to be out here filling up the freezers.” The halibut season opener off Neah Bay on Thursday was busy, busy, busy, according to Lawrence. “This seems like one of the biggest openers we’ve ever had out here,” Lawrence said. “I think there’s probably 300 to 400 boats that took off this morning.”
Big one didn’t get away A good-sized halibut was landed in the early hours of the fishery. “We weighed in a 126-pounder this morning,” Lawrence said. “That one was caught by David Lewis off the Garbage Dump in 350 feet of water. He used a spreader bar and a big chunk of octopus.” Lawrence’s son Michael mentioned Lewis’ two passengers also hooked and landed halibut in the range of 60 to 80 pounds. The Garbage Dump is a large area of fishing territory northwest of Neah Bay but within site of shore, making it a prime spot for those fishing in smaller boats. Those with vessels large enough to venture out into the open ocean were doing well at the 72 Square. “We had an old-timer just stop by that got into some pretty big lings out there with his group,” Michael Lawrence said. “He also was getting halibut around 40 pounds or so.” Rigging-wise, B2 Squid jigs are popular, according to Jake Peters of Snow Creek Resort (360-645-2284) in Neah Bay. “Those plastic B2s are a big seller. Large frozen herring and squid are popular, too. “Squid stays on the line, you can barely get the damn thing off the hook even if you are a fish.” Marine Area 5’s (Sekiu) halibut fishery is open today Friday and Saturday, and again Thursday through Sunday, May 21-24 (Memorial Day weekend), and Friday and Saturday, May 29-30.
Crescent tabs Shimko as football coach New leader played for Loggers in early 1990s PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
JOYCE — Brian Shimko has been chosen to lead his former football team. Pending School Board approval on Thursday, May 28, Shimko, a 1994 Crescent High School graduate, will be named head coach of the Loggers football team. “I want our kids to under-
stand that hard work pays off, and I am most excited to give back to the community and school that helped shape who I am today,” Shimko said in a news release sent by the school Thursday. Crescent associate principal and athletic director David Bingham said that Shimko was offered the position last week after an “extensive search and interview process.” Bingham told the Peninsula Daily News on Thursday

Wilder holding tryouts Area team’s 1st tourney is May 30 BY MICHAEL CARMAN PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — Wilder Baseball, a tradition-rich Senior Babe Ruth program for ages 16-18, will host two tryouts for its upcoming summer season. The primary tryout is Tuesday at 6 p.m. at Civic Field. “I’d like everybody there if they want to play [for] Wilder, but if they are still in-season they can try out after the high school season ends,” Wilder’s second-year manager Mike Politika said, referencing the ongoing playoffs for Sequim, Port Angeles and Quilcene. The second tryout is planned for Civic Field at 6 p.m. Wednesday. “Players should bring their gear and come ready to play,” Politika said. “We’ll run a normal practice and evaluate from there.” Politika, a former Wilder player, will be joined on the bench by Wilder alumni Perry Knudson and Forks coach

A new addition to the staff is Port Angeles baseball and basketball assistant coach Karl Myers.
Myers pitched at the NCAA Division I level for Gonzaga, graduating from the school in 2014. Politika said the program is seeking 16 to 20 players and will travel with up to 18 for tournaments around the state. Unlike last year when there was a senior team and a junior

Roughriders one win from state PA’s Bradley blanks Hornets PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
TACOMA — The Port Angeles baseball team stayed alive and moved within one win of a state berth by shutting down the White River Hornets 4-0 on Thursday at Franklin Pierce High School. Port Angeles (11-9) will face the winner between Franklin Pierce and Olympic in a loserout, winner-to-state game on
Saturday, again at Franklin Pierce. Curan Bradley pitched a complete-game shutout for the Roughriders, scattering five hits and a walk while striking out seven. “Can’t ask for a better performance from him,” Riders coach Vic Reykdal said. “Just the way he was mixing his stuff up. He was mixing his fastball in with the nasty curve. “That left-handed curve is hard for high-schoolers to figure out.” Bradley helped himself at the plate in the first inning, singling
and then scoring on a Jace Bohman double. A two-out RBI single from Ricky Crawford brought in another run in the fourth. “That was big,” Reykdal said. “We’ve been working on producing in those situations and getting those tough two-out RBIs.” Port Angeles added two more runs on a White River error with two outs in the fifth. “We got a little help from those guys,” Reykdal said. “Matt Hendry and Bohman singled, then Travis [Paytner] hit one into the hole at shortstop. We were running on it and
the first baseman didn’t make the catch.” The Riders now sit a win away from the state tournament. If they beat Olympic or Franklin Pierce, they would then play for the district’s fifth or sixth seed. “We are in the running for it and that’s exciting,” Reykdal said. Reykdal had no preference between facing an Olympic League foe in the Trojans or a more unknown team in the South Puget Sound League’s Cardinals. TURN

Children 14 and younger can participate in a free day of fishing in the pond just north of Carrie Blake Park in Sequim. A total of 1,500 trout will be stocked for the big day, including some big ones up to 5 pounds. A special pool for toddlers also will be stocked.

Peninsula College sophomore Miranda Schmillen, center, signs a letter of intent to play basketball at Multnomah University in Portland, Ore., alongside Peninsula coach Alison Crumb, right, and Multnomah head coach Tim Bieri, left.
PORT ANGELES — Peninsula College guard Miranda Schmillen will continue her education and her basketball career at Multnomah University in Portland, Ore. “First of all, let’s start off by saying that Miranda is a model student-athlete,” Peninsula women’s basketball coach Alison Crumb said. “She has a 3.7 GPA and is being rewarded at the next level by receiving both an academic and athletic scholarship. “It is that work ethic that defines Miranda Schmillen, but she is also uniquely competitive. Uniquely, meaning that everyone has levels of competitiveness, especially in sports, but her level of competitiveness is rare.” Schmillen helped the Pirates win their first-ever women’s basketball conference championship by averaging 9.8 points per game, two assists and 3.8 rebounds. In the Northwest Athletic Conference championship game
in March, the 5-foot-4 Schmillen led Peninsula with 21 points while grabbing nine rebounds and dishing out six assists. “She was an integral part of our success, especially in the championship game,” Crumb said. “We have a lot of talent coming in next year but have yet to figure out how we are going to replace Miranda. “Her skill set was strong, but her spirit, work ethic and competitiveness is sadly going to be missed next year. “I would like to wish her luck, and know that Multnomah is getting a truly special individual.” Schmillen, who came to Peninsula College from McKinlay High School in Honolulu, is the second Pirate to sign with a four-year school this offseason. Madison Pilster signed with College of Idaho last month. Schmillen was named to the 2015 NWAC All-Academic Team this season. Multnomah will be an NAIA school in the Cascade Conference starting next season.

Turbin undergoes hip surgery THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RENTON — Backup Seattle Seahawks running back Robert Turbin underwent offseason hip surgery, but is expected back in time for the start of the 2015 regular season. The team confirmed Turbin underwent the surgery Thursday but did not detail what was repaired or a recovery timeline. Turbin is entering the final year of his rookie con-
tract with the Seahawks and has been the main backup for Marshawn Lynch since being drafted in 2012. Turbin has rushed for 928 total yards. Both of his NFL touchdowns have been receiving. With Turbin sidelined, former second-round pick Christine Michael should get the bulk of the work during organized team activities and June’s minicamp.
Ex-Husky Kasen Williams hopes for chance with Hawks BY JOHN BOYLE THE [EVERETT] DAILY HERALD
RENTON — While top picks like defensive end Frank Clark and wide receiver Tyler Lockett were the center of attention at the Seattle Seahawks’ rookie minicamp last week, those three practices were even more important to the dozens of players chasing an NFL dream against long odds. Of the 66 players on hand last week, 39 were unsigned tryout players, meaning that for many, this was the closest they’d ever come to being in the NFL. “A lot of kids, this is their shot to show what they can do,� Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. But not every tryout player was there as simply another body to allow the Seahawks to facilitate a functional practice. Every year, a few tryout players do enough to earn a
contract, and in rare instances, such as the case of current Raider and former Seahawk pass-rusher Benson Mayowa, they even make the 53-man roster and see the field on Sundays. Already the Seahawks have signed four players this week who participated in the rookie minicamp: fullback Brandon Cottom, linebacker Tyrell Adams, defensive end Julius Warmsley and guard Kona Schwenke, and other players are still holding on to hope that they’ll get another, more extended chance to prove what they can do in training camp. Which brings us to former University of Washington standout Kasen Williams. Not long ago, it would have been hard to believe that Williams would be in this position, a player trying out for a shot at even making a team’s 90-man

USDA offers certification for products free of GMOs Program is first for agency amid labeling push BY MARY CLARE JALONICK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Agriculture Department has developed a new government certification and labeling for foods that are free of genetically modified ingredients. The USDA’s move comes as some consumer groups push for mandatory labeling of the genetically modified organisms, or GMOs. The certification is the first of its kind, would be voluntary — and companies would have to pay for it. If approved, the foods would be able to carry a “USDA Process Verified” label along with a claim that they are free of GMOs. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack outlined the new certification in a May 1 letter to USDA employees, saying it was being done at the request of a “leading global company,” which he did not identify. A copy of the letter was obtained by The Associated Press. A USDA spokesman confirmed that Vilsack sent the letter but declined to comment on the certification program. Vilsack said in the letter that the certification “will be announced soon, and other companies are already lining up to take advantage of this service.”
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A genetically engineered potato pokes through the soil in a planting pot inside J.R. Simplot’s lab in southwestern Idaho. Companies can already put their own GMO-free labels on foods, but there are no government labels that only certify a food as GMO-free. Many companies use a private label developed by a nonprofit called the Non-GMO Project. The USDA organic label also certifies that foods are free of genetically modified ingredients, but many nonGMO foods aren’t organic. Vilsack said the USDA certification is being created through the department’s Agriculture Marketing Service, which works with interested companies to certify the accuracy of the claims they are making on food packages — think “humanely raised”
or “no antibiotics ever.” Companies pay the Agricultural Marketing Service to verify a claim, and if approved, they can market the foods with the USDA process verified label.
Altered in labs Genetically modified foods come from seeds that are originally engineered in laboratories to have certain traits, like resistance to herbicides. The majority of the country’s corn and soybean crop is now genetically modified, with much of that going to animal feed.

WASHINGTON — Two days after Democratic senators blocked it, the Senate voted Thursday to take up legislation that would grant the president negotiating freedom to complete an expansive trade accord with 11 nations on the Pacific Rim, setting off a contentious congressional debate on one of President Barack Obama’s top priorities for his remaining time in office. While the motion to consider the legislation passed 65-33, that belied how hard the coming weeks will be for the White House. Most Democrats, including the top three Democratic leaders in the Senate, voted against even opening debate to give Obama so-called trade promotion authority. And before the vote, Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, the House minority leader, suggested that she could not accept a bill that would keep the door open to negotiate trade deals for three years, and possibly six, well into the next administration.

On saints and stars WE READ IN Scripture that “there is one God, and there is one mediator, between God and men, the man Jesus Christ” (1 Timothy 2:5). In other words, everything goes through Jesus. We can talk and pray to him directly, and we should, but we can also ask for the intercession of others to pray for us, or, as Catholics do frequently, use saints as intercessors. Why not? Is there anything biblically that speaks against this? If you’re a faithful Catholic, then you pray a lot. What is the point, you may ask? If you need something and you’re not sure how to get it, or it is out of your reach (and it is not damaging to your soul), then you ask God for help. The Gospels are replete with stories of persistence in prayer and the payoff from this. Prayer is also very calming, especially if you ask for calm. Many years ago, as I would park in my driveway home from work, I would say a prayer in the car before I entered the household full of kids. This always helped. Faithful Catholics talk to Jesus a lot, but they/we/I also incorporate the saints and others in our dialogue with heaven.
ISSUES OF FAITH
But with rare Acheson exception, they started out like us. Read about Miguel Pro, Padre Pio, Elizabeth Seton and, of course, Mother Teresa, if you are unsure what a saint is. There are hundreds, thousands of others. It is the Catholic Hall of Fame. Doesn’t this muddle the desire for Jesus, you may say, bringing all these other people in? This is a very common non-Catholic question. I spent many nights on the Strait of Juan de Fuca while the sun set. If you looked up, you would see one star in the sky (perhaps Venus?). It shone by itself for a while, and then as the shades were drawn more, other stars would appear. And then there were thousands. Jesus is that initial, lone, beautiful star, dominating the night. And then here they come, the angels and saints to surround him, to be his messengers and to keep Mother Mary him company. And I think of my In Jesus’ dying moments, he said from the mother, as we are all cross, “Woman behold your together on vacation down on the Oregon coast, and I son . . . son, behold your take a picture of her as I mother” (John 19:26-27). always do.

He was telling the She always prefers the beloved disciple John that all God’s children were now one with the family in it. Petition Jesus; lay under the mantle of Mary.

The drag-off is not officially part of this week’s Esprit conference for transgender people at the Red Lion Hotel, Welch noted. But she and the organizers did think this would be a good time for a drag-off. The event has three judges: costume designeractor-director Richard Ste-
phens, dancer-choreographer-artist Lauren JeffriesJohnson and a mysterious figure called Helen Heels. Among the competitors is Lucy Paradisco, a third member of the Paradisco family. About this, Welch is full of anticipation. “The Paradiscos are all amazing and beautiful,” she said. “They are going to knock everybody’s socks off.” For more about the event, find the Celebrity Drag-off page on Facebook or phone 360-797-3903.

As for the duo, “[we] sing about environmentalism, community, and seeking joy,” says Lundahl. “I play a beautiful 12-string Seagull guitar, and do a lot of tapping and drumming mixed with finger picking,” while Indrick plays the cajon, a box drum, plus added percussion. He sings a beautiful har-

Among its five tracks is “Beautiful Day #1,” which Lundahl says is about a lot of things: the first day of spring, struggling relationships, emergence as a woman among them. Animals of Grace is also working on a full-length album, “Songs of Shattering,” inspired by the poetry
of early 20th century feminist writer Edna St. Vincent Millay. It’s finished and mastered, and the pair plans a crowdfunding campaign for its production.

Juan de Fuca Festival’s performers At the end of each schedule entry will be what day the performance will occur during the festival. The main schedule can be found on Page 3. The After Hours in the Clubs schedule is on Page 12. A LITTLE BIT OFF Co-founded by Amica Hunter and David Cantor, A Little Bit Off began as a theatrical collaboration between two acrobatic clowns dedicated to bringing wonder and laughter to the audiences of the world. Drawing inspiration from the old American vaudevillians and French artist James Thierree, the band has grown to produce two fully developed shows with carefully selected themes, hilarious characters, intricate relationships, mind-boggling tricks and a very quirky, off-beat flavor. The most recent work, “Beau and Aero,” is a critically acclaimed, fulllength physical comedy featuring two bumbling aviators. The show has won five awards, including one for Outstanding Physical Theater. The band has performed all over the United States and Europe, captivating audiences with its dialogue-free approach to storytelling. A Little Bit Off will be doing three shows at Port Angeles High School for area students. Funded by the Benjamin N. Phillips Memorial Fund SATURDAY ACHILLES WHEEL Achilles Wheel is a high-energy roots and world music/rock and roll band from Northern California, featuring award-winning songwriting played on numerous stringed instruments along with the rhythmic earthquake of two full drum sets. Frequently compared with the Grateful Dead, the band has been burning up festival stages from California Worldfest, Strawberry, Dead on the Creek and many more. The band’s newest CD, “Stones To Sand,” is generating new interest in the band, with airplay nationwide as well as in Europe. SATURDAY, SUNDAY, AFTER HOURS

AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT
ALLEYOOP AND HIS TURTLE THEATER (A CHILDREN’S SHOW) Four shows will be given daily at The Turtle Tent. Children’s entertainer Alleyoop (also known as Al Hirsch) will perform
stories, songs and puppet shows for children and family audiences inside the tent. See Page 4 for times and location. Hirsch is an author, historian, poet, riddler, folklorist, puppeteer, musician and more. He has at least one story or song for every occasion. He has more whistles than you can shake a stick at. He often uses puppets to entertain younger children including Billy Bear the Silly Bear. Hirsch is a two-time winner of the Parent’s Choice Awards. SATURDAY, SUNDAY BLAZE & KELLY To listen to Blaze & Kelly is to experience a musical nirvana. There’s no doubt these two laughterloving women can sing. Niccole Blaze’s powerful lead vocals blend perfectly with Mo Kelly’s sweet tone. But what makes them true artists is their ability to create emotion. To Blaze & Kelly, it’s not money, fame or precision that creates happiness, but genuine human connection. And their songs illustrate the humanity, passion and truth each one of us strives to feel and find gladness in. Blaze & Kelly have opened for Crosby, Stills and Nash, Olivia Newton-John and many others. SATURDAY, AFTER HOURS CURTIS SALGADO A huge success at last year’s festival, we had to bring him back for an encore. Salgado is the original Blues Brother. After actor John Belushi caught one of his typical, no-holds-barred performances, Belushi was inspired to create the Blues Brothers and modeled his movie character after Salgado. In addition, the first Blues Brother album, “Briefcase Full of Blues,” was dedicated to Salgado. Recognition for Salgado as the consummate bluesman has arrived — he essentially swept the 2013 Blues Awards in Memphis, winning B.B. King Entertainer of the Year, Soul Blues Male Artist of the Year and Soul Blues Album of the Year. >> continued on Page 7
Peninsula Daily News/Sequim Gazette
<< continued from Page 6
Salgado has performed at festivals all over the world, including at the San Francisco Blues Festival, Chicago Blues Festival, Memphis’ Beale Street Music Festival, Tampa Bay Blues Festival, Denver’s Mile High Blues Festival, Toronto’s Waterfront Blues Festival, Thailand’s Phuket International Blues Festival and Poland’s Blues Alive Festival. Sponsored by Denise Bennett and Sandra Tatro. MONDAY DAVID JACOBS-STRAIN WITH BOB BEACH David Jacobs-Strain is a fierce slide guitar player and a song poet from Oregon. He’s known for both his virtuosity and spirit of emotional abandon. His live show moves from humorous, subversive blues to delicate balladry and then swings back to swampy rock and roll. Jacobs-Strain has appeared at major festivals throughout the world, including at stint on the faculty of Centrum’s Blues and Heritage workshop at the age of 15. He has shared the stage with Lucinda Williams, Boz Scaggs, Etta James, Taj Mahal, the Doobie Brothers and others. Jacobs-Strain will be accompanied by Philadelphia’s harmonica virtuoso Bob Beach. MONDAY
One of the very few bands that defined that special time and place was It’s a Beautiful Day. The group was perhaps the first rock band whose signature sound was based upon a rock violin. Few can forget the iconic “White Bird,” a melancholy ballad that stood out, not only for its memorable vocal melody and “seize the day” message, but also for front man David LaFlamme’s slow-burning violin solo. Multiple albums were laced with classic cuts such as “Hot Summer Day,” Bombay Calling,” Girl With No Eyes,” Wasted Union Blues,” Time Is,” “Dolphins” and many more you’ll remember. Today, the band performs older It’s a Beautiful Day favorites along with newer material, moving effortlessly from an almost folksy sound to ethereal jazz to psychedelic to straight on rock and roll performing music from its many CDs. The show is enhanced with David LaFlamme’s delightful reminiscing of the San Francisco Summer of Love days and 40-plus years of performing. The current band boasts the longest continuous lineup with four of the six members going back over 30 years. SATURDAY
DIRK QUINN BAND Dirk Quinn is the guitarist for a high energy funk/ jazz band based out of Philadelphia. Quinn has developed a unique and progressive DAVID LAFLAMME PRESENTS THE MUSIC OF IT’S style — one that appeals to a wide variety of music listeners with fans ranging from jam band hippies to A BEAUTIFUL DAY jazz snobs. There was once a time — the 1960s —when San Initially attracted to classic rock, Quinn’s thirst for Francisco seemed like the center of the music universe.
David LaFlamme presents the music of It’s a Beautiful Day
the unique soon had him jamming along to the more daring Mahavishnu Orchestra and the bass-laden noise of Primus. However, as Quinn performed virtually nonstop with countless musical projects, it wasn’t long before a deeper musical/life philosophy opened him up to the world of jazz — folks like Miles Davis and John Coltrane along with the more contemporary sounds of Bela Fleck and Jaco Pastorius. Surrounding himself with a group of extremely talented and like-minded musicians, the band’s infectious energy and musical interplay makes for jazz/ funk improvisation at its most exciting.

DUSTY 45S The readers of Seattle Weekly voted the Dusty 45s “Best of Seattle” three years in a row, and it’s easy to see why. The Dusty 45s have a reputation for firing up the crowd. They deliver their rockin’, high-energy music at just the right throttle to keep fans on their feet, begging for more. Over the years, the group has devoured styles ranging from twang country, jump blues, surf, and pure rock and roll, mixed-in elements from influences such as Dixieland and jazz, and serve it up as a sizzling sound all its own. Singer, songwriter and front man Billy Joe Huels leads the band with an engaging, charismatic stage presence, a rippin’ guitar and a trumpet which serves as an extension of himself. In 2007, Huels enchanted the theater crowd, starring as Buddy Holly in Seattle’s 5th Avenue Theatre’s production of “The Buddy Holly Story.” This summer the whole band will be playing itself in the 5th Avenue Theatre’s production of “Grease.” FRIDAY, AFTER HOURS ERIC & ENCARNACIÓN’S FLAMENCO DUO Flamenco is more than a beautiful art form — it is an attitude and way of life. Beyond rhythm, melody and technique, Flamencos look for “el duende,” that magic moment when something profound happens. This concept is what has long guided Eric Jaeger and his wife, Encarnación, on their incredible flamenco journey. Jaeger has been playing and teaching for more than 20 years. He has lived and studied extensively in Andalucia, Spain, with many Spanish guitar masters. His guitar style incorporates Greek, Turkish, Latin, Arabic and rock music. Encarnación was born in Spain and has lived most of her life split between Barcelona, Spain, and Mexico City, where she was immersed in Flamenco music. A one-of-a-kind performer, she entrances audiences everywhere with her grace, depth, musicality and intense energy. SATURDAY

EVERYONE ORCHESTRA Led by conductor Matt Butler, The Everyone Orchestra is an improvisational musical adventure that features a revolving roster of musicians. Using hand signs, whiteboard and assorted mime suggestions, the conductor sets the mood with band and audience alike as they soar into musical jams. A variety of the Pacific Northwest’s top performers will be part of Everyone Orchestra this year. Visit www.jjfa.org to see who will be performing. The audience is as much a part of an Everyone Orchestra performance as the musicians on stage. With cues from the conductor, the audience will be asked to clap, cheer, become louder or softer and more. Marching clearly into uncharted territory, the edge-of-your-seat enthusiasm for what is next is the fuel behind the continuous musical experiment of the Everyone Orchestra. Everyone Orchestra will also be doing three shows at Port Angeles High School for students. Funded by the Benjamin N. Phillips Memorial Fund, a fund of the Seattle Foundation. FRIDAY FARMSTRONG FarmStrong lights up the stage with exquisite harmony signing and seasoned instrumentation. The heart of the band draws on inspiration from the past century of country, blues and bluegrass music from the 1920s through the 1950s, as well as folk, rock, gospel and soul music of the ’50s, ’60s, ’70s and beyond. FarmStrong’s talented and experienced musicians take audiences outside the bluegrass tradition An unmistakable sound moves the soul, while remaining firmly rooted in music from the mountains. The vocal harmonies along with the soulful blend of guitars, bass and dobro of Jim Faddis, Cort Armstrong, Rick Meade and John Pyles makes for a special journey that runs from the Appalachian Mountains to the North Olympic Peninsula. FRIDAY, MONDAY FRAZEY FORD BAND Already adored by fans and critics alike as the instantly recognizable lead singer of Canadian altfolk superstars, The Be Good Tanyas, Frazey Ford launched an amazing solo career with the release of her first album, “Obadiah.” The album received rave reviews from the The New York Times and The Washington Post, which praise her “warm voice” and “smoky, soulful mood.” Ford’s solo career continues to astonish with the release of her newest record, “Indian Ocean.” Recorded with the mighty Hi Rhythm Section (the sound behind legends like Al Green and Ann Peebles) the record confirms what many have long suspected — that Ford is a stunningly accomplished country soul singer. SUNDAY HALIE LOREN TRIO Oregon native Halie Loren is an internationally recognized artist who has garnered multiple awards and numerous fans from around the world. The first thing you notice is that voice — gorgeous, graceful and somehow earthy and ethereal at once. Her multilingual passion for singing paired with a

Hot Club Sandwich
personal take on jazz and pop classics has led to songs charting in the United States, Canada, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Finland and Asia. Loren has released eight albums including her most recent, “Simply Love,” a mix of sparkling originals and radiantly reimagined classics from America’s songbook. FRIDAY, SATURDAY, AFTER HOURS HOT CLUB SANDWICH For more than 10 years, Hot Club Sandwich has cultivated its fresh approach to the “Parisian hot club” style of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli. Featuring guitars, violin, mandolin and upright bass with vocal arrangements and shout choruses, the Hot Club Sandwich sound blends reverence for tradition with vibrant improvisation and acoustic interplay. Hot Club Sandwich takes listeners on a journey from the smoky cafes of Paris to the hipster backstreets of 1930s Harlem, careening along a winding music road filled with yodeling cowboys, a band of Mexican violinists and spirited gypsy guitar slingers. Recent Hot Club Sandwich releases have placed well in jazz, Americana and jam band charts. People wanting to dance during the performance will enjoy support and instruction from local swing dance instructor Carol Hathaway. SATURDAY, SUNDAY JOEY PIPIA Audiences agree, Joey Pipia’s show is the antidote to today’s hectic, giga-minute world. His show is a celebration of the impossible, a one-ofa-kind theatrical event where wonder and the absurd are presented as one — where the audience leaves affirmed in the belief that life is profoundly marvelous. It happens to you the minute Pipia takes the stage. See the magic and experience the wonder. You’ll never be the same. SATURDAY, SUNDAY JON AND ROY The symmetry was there from the start — Jon Middleton’s gently wavering voice, powerful in spots but never enough to overshadow his expressive guitar playing combined with Roy Vizer’s inventive, expressive percussion, delivered in a way that meshed perfectly with its elements. >> continued on Page 9

Over a decade and five critically acclaimed roots albums later, Jon and Roy continue to roll. A popular draw, the band has played festivals from Canada to Europe including headlining Canada Dayin in their hometown of Victoria, B.C., to 45,000 people. They have seen their music placed in everything from MTV to HBO to NBC. The band’s CD sales have topped 20,000 and include a Western Canadian Music Award for best roots recording. SUNDAY JOY IN MUDVILLE Joy In Mudville includes Jason Mogi and Kim Trenerry (co-founders of popular Olympic Peninsula bands Deadwood Revival and Tongue & Groove) and Paul Stehr-Green (Supertrees). Together, they combine influences from old-time bluegrass, folk, rock, country, blues and funk with Mogi on clawhammer banjo/acoustic and electric guitar/vocals, Trenerry on acoustic guitar/vocals and Stehr-Green on bass/vocals. The trio’s impeccable harmonies create a vocal blend which has been deemed “a soulful sweetness” that dances over the strong rhythm and sensitivity of their instruments. Joy In Mudville pulls from an archive of memorable original tunes and the vast body of Americana music with a vitality and freshness of new beginnings. SUNDAY, MONDAY LEROY BELL AND HIS ONLY FRIENDS LeRoy Bell’s smooth pop-soul melodies and hardrocking beat have built him a solid loyal following all over the world. Not only since going all the way to the Final 8 of the inaugural season of Simon Cowell’s “The X-Factor,” but his entire life. As a successful young songwriter, Bell wrote songs for The Spinners, The O’Jays, The Temptations, Jennifer Lopez, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Rita Marley, Elton John and many others. John’s song version of “Mama Can’t Buy You Love” went to No. 1 in the fall of 1979, earning a Grammy nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. John’s recording of “Are You Ready for Love” was an even a bigger hit. In 2003, Bell teamed up with Casey James to have their own million-seller with “Living It Up (Friday Night)” on A&M Records. A recent highlight was his participation on South African singer/songwriter Zahara’s new CD that has gone platinum in several countries. Bell has performed with some of the world’s greatest acts, including Joe Cocker, Al Green, Carlos Santana, Mavis Staples, Sheryl Crow and others. SATURDAY LINDSAY LOU & THE FLATBELLYS With roots in the Great Lakes state of Michigan, Lindsay Lou & the Flatbellys have been nonstop traversing the country with instruments in tow since the release of their 2012 record, “Release Your Shrouds.” The album showcased the band’s meshing of Appalachian tradition with a rootsy Michigan vigor. Peninsula Daily News/Sequim Gazette
MarchFourth Marching Band
But wherever placed in the genre continuum of the times, it’s the band’s sincerity and passion for following the music that propels the musicians. The year ahead will see the band releasing a second full-length LP and making its first international tours to Germany and the United Kingdom. Motivated by the power of music to connect, to ask questions, to heal and to learn about what it means to be human, Lindsay Lou, Joshua Rilko, Mark Lavengood and PJ George are a finger pickin’, harmony slingin’, tight-knit family fashion conglomeration that shows no signs of slowing down. SATURDAY, SUNDAY MARCHFOURTH MARCHING BAND With a rallying cry of “joy now!” the 20-member MarchFourth Marching Band throws itself and the audience into a swirling volcano of high energy music and spectacle. What began as a Fat Tuesday party on March 4, 2003, in Portland, Ore., has become one of the nation’s best live touring acts. The band brings an energy and style that takes the live concert experience to a new level of fun — turning unsuspecting concert-goers into fans for life and transforming ordinary events into joyous occasions. Aside from band members’ one-of-a-kind vintage marching band uniforms, the five-piece percussion corps and a seven-part brass section, MarchFourth is far from a “marching band” in any traditional sense (though this group of about 20 has been known to parade down main street before taking the stage). MarchFourth’s original music is a rocking guitar, brass, percussion and vocal-driven journey from the swamps of Louisiana to the gypsy camps of Eastern Europe, to the African jungle by way of Brazil, echoing the deepest grooves of American funk, rock and jazz. This is all boiled together and framed in cinematic fashion by high stepping stilt acrobatics and dazzling dancers. SUNDAY NATHANIEL TALBOT With influences ranging from prodigious guitar pickers like Doc Watson and Leo Kotke to the more soulful folk poetry of folks like Gillian Welch and Paul
ODD HACK BAND If your inner contra dancer has been waiting to spring forth, this is your moment. Victoria, B.C.’s Odd Hack Band has been leading and teaching contra dance programs for many years. The band’s music ranges from lively jigs and reels to jazzy tangos to romantic airs and old-fashioned waltzes. Its CD, “Trip to Pender” received a “Highest Recommendation” from the Victoria Times Colonist. If you like circles, squares, jigs, reels, polkas, waltzes and more, it’s a swinging time with a swinging band. Dancers will enjoy support and instruction. All levels welcomed. SUNDAY PATCHY SANDERS Patchy Sanders, is a band from Ashland, Ore., comprised of sisters Dani (banjo and harp) and Jacqui Aubert (vocals), their partners Ian Van Ornum (mandolin, bouzouki and guitar) and Dan Sherrill (guitar, banjo and mandolin) and good friends Sara Wilbur (violin and viola), Eric Jones (upright bass) and Alex Patterson (drums and percussion). While some find it easy to characterize their music, others hesitatingly distinguish their style as noirgrass, neo-folk, neo-Americana or simply alternative. In the fall of 2013, Patchy Sanders released its debut album, “Patch Sanders & the Wild Peach Forest” with legendary producer Sylvia Massey of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Johnny Cash and Tom Petty fame. SATURDAY, SUNDAY PUFNSTUFF The duo of Mike Pace and Ches Ferguson bring some jammin’ magic to the stage, honed to an effortless blend after literally decades of playing. Ferguson, formerly the outstanding bass player with Deadwood Revival and Tongue & Groove, now trades licks on a guitar with Pace, former guitar player with The Soul Shakers and The Hayshakers. Their love for the Grateful Dead is etched in their intricate grooves and easy, playful manner on stage. SUNDAY, MONDAY REDWOOD TANGO ENSEMBLE The Redwood Tango Ensemble is an energetic tango quartet from San Francisco. The ensemble plays traditional Argentine tango with transcriptions and arrangements of the classic “golden era” orchestras of the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s. The group also ventures into the concert pieces and the nuevo-tango of Astor Piazolla, Sexteto Mayor and modern ensembles around the world. The quartet’s signature sound is a growing repertoire of original compositions written in the style of classic orchestras, which are entirely danceable but singular and alive. >> continued on Page 10

Bessier’s singing has been described as “delectable, Jones is a two-time winner of the Washington Blues soothing, sassy and lilting.” Her critically acclaimed CD, “Other Side of Forever,” Society Best Female Vocalist Award, including a win released in June 2013, landed on the Top 40 CMJ jazz in 2014. In fact, she is continually nominated for “Best of the Blues” awards in songwriting, performance, charts, gaining international airplay. harmonica and guitar.

Twisted Roots
The band’s sound harks back to the glory days of brass bands while providing funkadelic bass lines to get your butt shaking. A touch of funk, a smidge of jazz and some sprinklings of ska, hip-hop and free-form pop: It all adds up to a heady brew of horn-filled goodness. SATURDAY TWISTED ROOTS Marty Kaler and Bob Lawrence-Markarian first played together more than 35 years ago. After their paths diverged for a few years, they reunited and found that the magic was still there. Developing their own style, Twisted Roots plays old and new tunes, featuring finger-style guitar, ukulele, banjo, Dobro, lap-steel guitar and humor. >> continued on Page 12

SPRING/SUMMER 2015
Welcome to the North Olympic Peninsula Congratulations! You’ve reached one of the most enchanting and diverse regions on Earth! Whether you’re a first-time visitor, a returning visitor or a new resident of the North Olympic Peninsula, you’ll find our coastlines, our mountains, our towns, valleys and historical sites breathtaking and memory-making. This North Olympic Peninsula Guide is divided into sections designed to give you a flavor of each of our towns or regions: Port Angeles, Sequim and the Dungeness Valley, Port Townsend and Jefferson County, Forks and the West End, the North/West Coast and, just across the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Victoria. You’ll also find interesting information about the historic Elwha River dam removals, the Twilight and “Mick Dodge” phenomenon and, of course, Olympic National Park. Included in this guide is a wealth of information about the goods, services and activities available on the Peninsula. We combine all the adventures of wilderness recreation with the comforts of a premiere resort destination. While you’re here, we encourage you to read our three newspapers — Peninsula Daily News and the weekly Sequim Gazette and Forks Forum. They contain updated information about community and entertainment events throughout the year. You can also keep in touch 24/7 by logging onto their websites with a smartphone or computer: www.peninsuladailynews.com, www.sequimgazette.com and www.forksforum.com. Welcome to the wonderland of the North Olympic Peninsula.
Best regards, John Brewer, Publisher and Editor

HOW TO GET HERE
Most visitors to the North Olympic Peninsula cross the Hood Canal Bridge, the longest floating bridge over salt water in the world at 7,869 feet (6,521 feet of it floating). The bridge connects the Kitsap Peninsula to the Olympic Peninsula along state Highway 104. Note that the bridge opens for marine vessels that are too large or tall to pass underneath its trusses. It is not an uncommon sight to view a submarine surface to pass through the opened bridge thanks to Hood Canal’s proximity to Naval Base Kitsap Bangor. Vessel openings — which can take about 30 minutes to complete — are not announced in advance. Phone 5-1-1 for traffic information.

The best way to explore the North Olympic Peninsula is by getting out and exploring the local parks and forests. The key to being comfortable on the Peninsula is preparing for warm sunny days, cool and damp weather, wind and rain and that famous Northwest mist that isn’t really rain but slowly dampens everything around you. Though temperatures can get into the 70s and 80s, be sure to pack for cooler weather, especially if you’re out at night. Jeans, hiking boots, sweatshirts and hoodies, T-shirts and extra socks are a must. A pair of shorts and a few sleeveless shirts can be packed, but don’t get carried away. Bring some sandals/flip-flops, but if you’re planning on walking a lot, a pair of solid sneakers is a must. As the weather gets cooler into the fall season, long underwear isn’t overkill, especially if you have plans to hike around Hurricane Ridge or Lake Crescent. Bring sunglasses, a hat and sunscreen for those days when you’re out and about in a town or on a beach. A rain jacket is also a good investment for visiting the Peninsula. If you have plans to camp, fish or hunt, be sure to acquire the necessary licenses and passes from the state.

These are Falls View, Rocky Brook and Murhut. A fourth cascade, Dosewallips Falls, is accessible only by foot. On a day of enjoying the waterfalls, don’t forget to take a drive to the top of Mount Walker for incredible views of Seattle and the Puget Sound to the east or magnificent views of the mountains within Olympic National Park to the west. The road to the top of Mount Walker is open seasonally and may be closed due to weather. A year-round option is to park at the base for a two-mile hike. Learn about salmon at the Quilcene National Fish Hatchery, which is two miles south of Quilcene where the river crosses under U.S. Highway 101. Several other hiking and equestrian trails, from easy to challenging, allow the visitor to experience nature and serene vistas. Dosewallips Road is a popular eastern portal to Olympic National Park for hikers and equestrians. Stay over and camp out in a tent or a cabin at Dosewallips State Park off U.S. Highway 101 along the saltwater shoreline of the Hood Canal and the freshwater shoreline of the Dosewallips River. This park boasts fishing, clamming, crabbing, an amphitheater and more. In Quilcene, the small town has a number of galleries that feature quality artwork and crafts. Each autumn features the one-day Quilcene Fair, Parade and Classic Car show.

Pick a comfortable spot outside the barn in open seating or stroll around the farmstead as sweet sounds of violins and cellos waft in the air.

This walkable waterfront town is rich with history, art and plenty of Victorian beauty
SPRING/SUMMER 2015
At the eastern end of the Peninsula, Port Townsend takes pride in being a cultural hub on the North Olympic Peninsula. It is the seat of Jefferson County. Artists of all disciplines gravitate to the town of 9,100 that relishes its eclectic personality. Established in 1851, Port Townsend’s character comes from its boom in the 1880s and 1890s as a major seaport, fishing and lumber area. The architecture of the Victorian era peppers the city and can be seen in many businesses and homes. Port Townsend’s heyday as a late-Victorian seaport brought wealth and style to the community as upwardly mobile captains and merchants built fine homes for themselves. A leisurely drive around the “uptown” area overlooking Admiralty Inlet reveals about 30 homes built between 1860 and 1900, restored to their late 19th century glory in a variety of styles, including classic Victorian and Victorian Gothic, Italianate, Italianate Villa and Italianate Renaissance, Queen Anne and Georgian. Most are private residences and not open to the public. Every March, Port Townsend pays homage to its background with the Victorian Heritage Festival, which includes several tours. For more information, visit www. victorianfestival.org. Several homes have been converted into bed and breakfasts, and one, the D.C.H. Rothschild house, built in 1868, is part of the state parks system and managed by the Jefferson County Historical Society. It is furnished in period pieces and is open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. May through September. The house museum is at the corner of Jefferson and Taylor streets. Port Townsend shined in the 1880s and 1890s with the promise of a railroad. So many of the homes reflect the style of the waning Victorian Age with massive construction and elaborate ornamentation. Tasteful plaques and signs give a mini-history lesson with the original owners’ names and dates built. The state’s oldest Methodist church, from 1871, has a museum open to the public, and the Episcopal church, built in 1860, remains a place of worship today. But the most magnificent Port Townsend structure overseeing the entire city is the classically Victorian Jefferson County Courthouse, built in 1892 of red brick with its 124-foot clock tower. The county’s business still is

More than likely, they’ll direct you to a trio of former forts, now state parks, that are destinations unto themselves.

For the intrepid, there’s swimming and waterskiing as well as saltwater fishing in the brisk water or from the shore. Fort Flagler was a working Army fort from 1897-1953 and became a state park in 1955. A number of its Victorian buildings remain and can be toured by phoning the park office at 360-385-3701. The park has 101 standard tent sites, 14 utility spaces, one dump station, four restrooms (one ADA) and eight showers (two ADA). Forty-seven standard tent sites are in the upper camping area.

Fort Townsend State Park Although the Strait of Juan de Fuca and its inland bays had been explored and named by British Capt. George Vancouver in the late 1790s, the settlement of Port Townsend (originally Port Townshend) didn’t begin until about 1850. Old Fort Townsend was established in 1856 on Port Townsend Bay to protect these early settlers from surrounding Native American tribes. Over the next century, the fort was on furlough more than it was in service. In 1895, after Port Townsend’s heyday, the barracks burned and the fort, like its namesake, faded into Jefferson County history for decades. See FORTS, page 27
Marine Science Center Many residents and visitors, on their way to the Point Wilson Lighthouse or campgrounds in Fort Worden State Park, take little notice of two buildings that make up the Port Townsend Marine Science Center. Those whose curiosity gets the better of them are rewarded with dynamic displays of intertidal plants and animals indigenous to Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca and an exhibit called “The Land Meets the Sea.” Built on a pier in the 1940s as an Army supply warehouse, the 50-foot marine science building now gives the illusion of being in an underwater world, thanks to a $1.1 million renovation. The center was founded in 1982 as an educational and scientific organization devoted to understanding and conserving the area’s marine and shoreline environment. Several closed tanks, touch pools and hands-on exhibits allow visitors to obFORTS, continued from page 26 Owned by the state since 1953, the site has about 370 heavily wooded acres and 3,960 feet of saltwater shoreline offering views of Admiralty Inlet, Port Townsend Bay and the Cascade Mountains. There are 6.5 miles of forested hiking trails, including a self-guided nature trail and one highlighting the park’s fort history. The amenities include 40 campsites, a dump station, two restrooms, a shower, 43 picnic tables and three picnic shelters, ball fields and a children’s play area. The nearest boat launch ramps are at Port Townsend, Fort Flagler and Port Hadlock. The park is open year-round for day use; camping is permitted from March 28 through Oct. 15 and is on a first-come, first-served basis.

Whale watching The North Olympic Peninsula has a multitude of places to potentially see gray humpback and minke whales, especially near the Pacific coast. But in Port Townsend and up near the San Juan Islands, visitors have the same chances of also seeing an orca or two. Those chances can be increased by booking whale watching with any one of the local guided boat tour businesses. Bring your camera, family and friends and prepare to view the Southern Resident orcas, a large extended family comprised of three pods: J, K and L pods. Visit the Port Townsend Marine Science Center, located at 532 Battery Way in Fort Worden State Park, and get a chance to see a spout or two while you learn about the migratory and family habits of whales that frequent the area. Along Hood Canal, Dosewallips State Park, 306996 U.S.
Highway 101, offers a site viewing platform overlooking the canal. If you’re lucky, you just might spot a fin or four cutting through the calm waters.

Once within the city limit of Port Townsend, you may have difficulty deciding what to do first. If you’re looking to shop, the downtown area has a plethora of businesses to fit any family members’ wants and needs. From high-class boutiques to sporting goods stores to consignment shops, spice shops to art galleries, the family could spend a whole day just in the downtown. Enjoy the waterfront views and the sounds of the seagulls as you take in the historical architecture on the main drag. Port Townsend boasts Victorian grandeur in its buildings and houses from the late 1800s. Manresa Castle was completed in 1892 as the home of Charles and Kate Eisenbeis. This then-30-room private residence went through several changes before becoming what it is today — a castle hotel that can accommodate anywhere from a couple to a wedding party. The Waterstreet Hotel is another one that offers old-world charm near the port. If you’re looking for a spot to sit down, relax and munch on a meal, Port Townsend has a wide array of restaurants and pubs that offer a range of culinary delights. From sushi to pizza, everyone’s taste buds can be satisfied. In the mood for something fancier? You’ll have no problem finding an upscale restaurant or two. If you happen to be in town on a Saturday, swing by the Port Townsend Farmers Market between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. for an amazing selection of fresh vegetables, fruits, hand-crafted goods and more. More than 70 vendors come each week. There are about 40 farms, four artisan cheese makers and three cideries, plus bakers, espresso and coffee masters, soap and salve sellers and crafters post up for the day to sell their wares. Every week, a local band performs during the market, creating an eclectic, fun atmosphere while you shop.

TRAVELING TO PORT TOWNSEND
Port Townsend is the first city visitors will encounter coming onto the Northwest Olympic Peninsula from the Seattle/Silverdale area. Jutting off U.S. Highway 101 in Discovery Bay, travelers will drive north on Highway 20, turning left at a traffic signal to stay on the road. Once within the city, many points of interest can be accessed via foot. Stop by the chef’s demonstration area for a weekly how-to with some of the best local chefs in the area. The farmers market is located in uptown on Tyler Street, between Lawrence and Clay streets. Since Port Townsend is out on a little peninsula of its own, visitors may want to stay a night or two or seven at local accommodations. Whether you’re into camping or RVing, long-term or short-term vacation rentals, bed and breakfasts or motels

and hotels, families and friends have myriad choices on place to stay. For those looking to take in a movie, Port Townsend has a few options for film buffs. The Rose Theatre, located on Taylor Street, presents both well-known and classic films on a rotating basis. The theater opened as a vaudeville house in 1907. It has since experienced multiple transitions in order to get to where it is today. See EXPLORE, page 37
Larry Scott Memorial Trail The Larry Scott Memorial Trail is a hard-pack gravel trail that starts in Port Townsend and travels approximately six miles toward Four Corners. It is open for nonmotorized modes of transportation and recreational purposes, including walking, bicycling and horseback riding. Access is from the Port Townsend Boat Haven off Haines Place. It is a segment of the Olympic Discovery Trail, a trail that will ultimately traverse approximately 130 miles across the North Olympic Peninsula. The trail is a great place to see breathtaking views that are not accessible by car.
Chetzemoka Park Nearly two dozen parks dot the landscape of Port Townsend, but the showpiece is Chetzemoka Park, located at Jackson and Blaine streets. Named in honor of the Klallam chief Chetzemoka, friend of the pioneers, the 5.1-acre park overlooks Admiralty Inlet. The city-owned gem is located on the water and has a stunning view of the Cascade Mountains and Whidbey Island on clear days. The park features flower gardens, picnic areas, play equipment and a bandstand, plus easy access to the beach and tidelands.

EXPLORE, continued from page 36 Grab some popcorn and a beer, and sit back and relax for a one-of-a-kind movie experience. The Uptown Theatre, on Lawrence Street, is celebrating 68 years of business this year. The one-screen theater often shows a current movie, and viewers can enjoy coffee, tea, hot chocolate, fresh baked cookies and, of course, popcorn from the Uptown Coffee Bar. Bring the whole family, or take in a date night with all the city has to offer. No matter your taste, Port Townsend is that town that has something for every personality.

Ferry to Coupeville Port Townsend offers a Washington State Department of Transportation ferry from the city to Coupeville. This quiet waterfront farming community — known to many as the heart of Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve on Whidbey Island — still reflects the character of a frontier seaport when Puget Sound was being settled. It is home to Fort Casey State Park, beaches and 91 nationally registered historical structures.

A land unto itself, these communities are must-sees
PORT HADLOCK/TRI-AREA
Port Hadlock and the Tri-Area of Chimacum, Nordland and Irondale are at the crossroads of the most populated area in Jefferson County. This commercial hub is also the gateway to Marrowstone and Indian islands. Located at the northern tip of the island is Fort Flagler State Park. The historical turn-of-the-century Army base features barracks, officers’ quarters and a hospital that were used in World War I and World War II. Favorite features that can be toured include the nine former gun batteries atop the bluff.
Port Hadlock
Port Hadlock and the Tri-Area have a history of building business and community. In the 20th century, agriculture, smelting and lumber were the primary industries. Today, tourism, education, retail, restaurants and services are at the forefront, with agriculture and valueadded food services continuing to expand. The area has something for everyone — from shopping and restaurants, accommodations and cultural activities, to a wide range of outdoor options such as
H.J. Carroll Park
crabbing, fishing, kayaking and sailing.
Chimacum
Chimacum is known for its dairy farms spreading across Chimacum Valley. H.J. Carroll Park, off state Highway 19, is a county park that offers a playground, BMX track, disc golf course and other amenities. Some bookworm trivia: A road off state Highway 19 is named “Egg and I Road” after Betty MacDonald’s 1945
memoir, The Egg and I. The book told about her experiences living on a chicken farm in Chimacum and spawned a film of the same title and the Ma and Pa Kettle films. The farm that was the subject of her tales was located on that road. Stop by the Chimacum Corner Farmstand (9122 Rhody Drive, 360-732-0107, www.chimacumcorner.com), a small rural grocery store that features locally grown or produced food.

MARROWSTONE ISLAND
Though not on everyone’s radar, Marrowstone Island is a quiet retreat
Located southeast of Port Townsend, Marrowstone Island is a narrow piece of land that houses the small community of Nordland along with Fort Flagler State Park. Despite its small stature, the island’s community has plenty to offer visitors. Marrowstone takes its name from Marrowstone Point, the northernmost point on the island. It was given this name in 1792 by British explorer George Vancouver. Those living in the Nordland Township are made up mostly of descendants of Mystery Bay Norwegian immigrants who, once it was platted in 1889, were attracted to the area for its abundance of fish and similarCedar ity of the land to Norwegian fjords.

Wineries of the North Olympic Peninsula The North Olympic Peninsula is home to several award-winning wineries and cideries. Explore hidden backroads and see spectacular countryside as you visit the different locations and taste wines and hard ciders as distinctive as their locations. Many of the wineries use grapes from Eastern Washington, although some grow their own cool-climate grapes or use berries and fruit from local farms. Often you’ll find the winemakers themselves pouring in the tasting rooms and greeting visitors. A handful of the wineries banded together to form the Olympic Peninsula Wineries Association (800-785-5495, olympicpeninsulawineries.org). The website provides a suggested tour map and directions. Starting in Port Angeles, Harbinger Winery is located at 2358 W. U.S. Highway 101.

FairWinds Winery, located at 1984 W. Hastings Ave., Port Townsend, relies on growers in the Yakima Valley to produce small-batch wines. It averages about 1,000 cases a year.

DISCOVERY BAY
Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just pass through this small community; stop for lunch, do some shopping and enjoy the views
Discovery Bay is an ideal place to take a rest from the road, stay overnight or just get away from the faster pace of living. It is located at U.S. Highway 101 and state Highway 20. The Port of Port Townsend owns a public recreational boat launch off Gardiner Beach Road that provides access to the bay. While kayakers sometimes paddle along the shoreline, the bay is typically quiet. British explorer Capt. George Vancouver found Discovery Bay in 1792 and named the body of water after his flagship, HMS Discovery. After a sawmill was built in 1853, boats carried wood in and out of the bay. The old mill is no longer standing. In 2008, the North Olympic Salmon Coalition created and restored salt marsh habitat, known as the Salmon Creek Estuary.

In the rain shadow of the 8,000-foot Olympic Mountains, Sequim is one of the driest locales in Western Washington, receiving an average of 16 inches annually. Sequim, also known as the “Lavender Capital of North America,” draws thousands to its Lavender Weekend in July. Approximately two hours from Seattle, Tacoma and Olympia, the Sequim-Dungeness Valley is home to some 27,000 residents, many of who retired to the area from across the country.

From the beginning of May until the cold weather runs them off, about 75 local produce growers and vendors selling juried arts and crafts flock to the Sequim Farmers Market held on Cedar Street from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Saturday. It’s a great place to find freshly harvested fruits, vegetables, fish, meats and even natural honey. Take home some of Sequim’s homemade baked goods, barbecue sauce, salsa and guacamole, as well as other herbs and spices. Save your groceries for later and chow down at the market with barbecue, freshly roasted coffee, pizza, caramel corn and caramel apples. Handmade Belgian chocolate truffles
positions on a large artist’s rendering of the mastodon, with the tusks displayed separately. A short video covers the archaeological excavation of the site. Admission is by donation. Open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., 175 W. Cedar St., 360-683-8110. • The Dungeness River Audubon Center at Railroad Bridge Park offers indoor and outdoor adventure. Outdoors, there’s the old railroad bridge and the Dungeness River. Due to recent flood damage, the bridge is closed to thoroughfare. Indoors, the Dungeness River Audubon Center overflows with family friendly exhibits. Railroad Bridge Park is open daily during daylight hours. The Audubon Center is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday. On Wednesdays, a free guided bird walk in the park starts at 8:30 a.m. 2151 W. Hendrickson Road, 360-681-4076, www. dungenessrivercenter.org. • The 5.5 mile walk out Dungeness Spit to the lighthouse is a favorite. Rest, snack and take a volunteer-guided tour of the lighthouse before beginning the walk back. Best walking is at low tide. It’s wise to pack water, snacks and jackets and allow half a day for this 11-mile round-trip hike.

From the first blooms of spring to the harvest and distillation of certified organic essential oil in late summer, this family farm is sure to offer a one-of-a-kind farm experience for everyone. Whether it’s for the annual Brunch in the Blooms, a stroll through the fields and garden maze on a warm sunny day or the festivities of Sequim Lavender Weekend, the Schiefen family looks forward to having you and yours take part in the lavender experience. Olympic Lavender Heritage Farm 1532 Marine Drive Olympic Lavender Heritage Farm grows many varieties of lavender over two locations encompassing 10 acres of USDA-certified organic lavender. The main farm and boutique are located five miles north of downtown Sequim and just seconds from the shores of Dungeness Bay in the heart of Dungeness. Come stroll through the oldest planted lavender fields in Sequim, shop in the boutique for handcrafted lavender products and check out the new additions coming to this farm in 2015 and beyond. As one of the first lavender farms that started the Sequim Lavender movement in 1995, the Hermosillo family invites you to learn about essential oil distillation, participate in farm demonstrations and discussions, make lavender wands and other lavender-themed crafts on Saturdays during the summer. Washington Lavender 939 Finn Hall Road, Port Angeles Take a step back in time at Washington Lavender. Located at George Washington Inn & Estate with the B&B inn as a backdrop, the farm enjoys breathtaking panoramic views of both sea and mountains.

In keeping with the culinary priorities at the B&B, the farm’s gift shop features a wide variety of culinary lavender products, including honey, jams, syrups, teas, spices and recipes in addition to traditional bath and body products. All products are handcrafted with essential oil and lavender bud. Washington Lavender is open Memorial Day through Labor Day. Tour de Lavender Experience a true cyclists’ weekend during Tour de Lavender in August.

The Metric Century Ride on Saturday, Aug. 1, follows the rural roads and Olympic Discovery Trail of the Sequim-Dungeness Valley to the Port Angeles waterfront and the foothills of the Olympic Mountains while touring lavender farms en route. Consider combining this ride with Ride the Hurricane on Sunday, Aug. 2, for a “Pedal Power Weekend.” The Family Fun Ride on Saturday and/or Sunday, Aug. 1-2, covers up to 35 miles on the Olympic Discovery Trail and lavender farms but can be customized to match the ability and endurance level of the cyclists.

Take me outside Parks Carrie Blake Park, at 202 N. Blake Ave., is a Sequim gem for all ages that’s used year-round, no matter what the weather. You’ll find walkers and joggers on the blacktopped trail looping through the north side of the park, many with their canine pals who are welcome to romp in the fenced offleash dog park — it’s set up with small and large dog areas. Have a family reunion or get-together with friends under the large shelter and fire up the grills nearby. There are two playground areas with swings and climbing things. Older youths will enjoy the adjacent BMX track and skateboard park. The softball fields are first-come, first-served. At 3 p.m. on the third Sundays from May-September, the Sequim City Band plays in free outdoor concerts at the James Center for the Performing Arts, also on the north side of the park. For parking, enter from Rhodefer Road off East Washington Street, a few blocks east of Blake Avenue. The park is open from dawn to dusk. Railroad Bridge Park, on the opposite end of town, is a bit of forest in the city. At 2151 W. Hendrickson Road, north and west of Walmart off Priest Road, the park has toe-dipping access to the Dungeness River, which can be calm or churning, but is relentlessly cold. The 1900s railroad bridge is part of the Olympic Discovery Trail that runs through the park. Due to flood damage, it cannot be crossed this summer. The park has several picnic tables, an outdoor stage and numerous side trails through the foliage. The park is open from dawn to dusk, and no pass is required. The Dungeness River Audubon Center within the park features many examples of birds and other native animals and serves as an educational center. Even if you’re just visiting, you’re invited to join the bird walks at 8:30 a.m. every Wednesday, rain or shine, led

Biking For scenic mountain biking beauty, it’s hard to beat the Dungeness Valley. For those with youngsters who want to get them interested in biking, try Robin Hill Farm County Park, which offers a nice little trail for beginners and families. The park is located off Dryke Road between Sequim and Port Angeles. Another more challenging spot to consider is Burnt Hill Road, accessible from Happy Valley Road. The 4-mile climb is a fantastic trail for the bike enthusiast. For a fun ride, sign up for the Olympic Bike Adventure, held in September
(360-417-4557, www.olympicbike adventure.com). The 25-mile trek covers the Olympic Discovery Trail from Port Angeles to the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal Center on Sequim Bay in Blyn.

Olympic Game Farm A family-run business, Olympic Game Farm, located at 1423 Ward Road, is home to many animal species, both endangered and nonendangered. Many of its animals are veterans of television and movies. For more than 28 years, the Olympic Game Farm worked exclusively with Walt Disney Studios and many others on features for movies and television. Today, the farm is home to more than 20 different exotic and nonexotic species, with hundreds of animals on site for families to “get face to face with wildlife” from the comfort of their
vehicles on the farm’s driving tour. The farm also has walking tours for groups of 10 or more. Reservations are required between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Visitors can also check out the farm’s studio barn and freshwater aquarium. On the driving tour, there are friendly llamas that eat bread from your hand, performing bears, grazing elk and buffalo. You also will see many animals which are on the endangered species list, such as timber wolves, Bengal tigers and African lions. The farm also is home to coyotes, bobcats, cougars and many more species. Driving tours are open year-round
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. There is an admission fee for the tours. Visit www.olygamefarm.com or phone 360-683-4295 or 800-778-4295 for rates. Local chambers of commerce have brochures on the farm and directions to it.

John Wayne Marina Popular with boaters and landlubbers alike, John Wayne Marina, 2577 West Sequim Bay Road, offers a beautiful parklike area, a fuel dock, moorage, boat launches and a restaurant. Located on Pitship Point in Sequim Bay (Longitude 123 02’ 18” W/Latitude 48 03’ 43” N), John Wayne Marina is named for “The Duke,” but since opening in 1985, the marina has made a reputation for itself as a full-service facility in a superb location. The marina offers both permanent and guest moorage on a first-come, first-served basis, parking and a launch for smaller craft and boat rentals. Ashore, the John Wayne Marina includes a restaurant and restrooms, with showers and laundry for tenants, and even a public meeting room with kitchen. Film actor John Wayne loved sailing his yacht, Wild Goose, in the area of Sequim Bay, which he considered a prime place for a marina. Wayne donated the land in 1975. Owned and operated by the Port of Port Angeles, the marina is a popular stop, included as “Best of the West” by Sea Magazine. Boaters can take advantage of a fuel dock open seven days a week, and the marina offers electric and water hookups. Trash disposal, a sewage pump-out and
John Wayne Marina
waste oil disposal also are available. Chefs prepare lunch and dinner at the marina’s restaurant, The Dockside Grill. The marina and its beautiful park areas are popular walking and picnicking places for nonboaters. Dozens of species of waterfowl make for good birding, and the Olympic Discovery Trail runs nearby. Pets on leashes are welcome. For more information, phone 360417-3440.

Dungeness Refuge Every hike on the Dungeness Spit is different. Every hike is the same. Weather, tide and time of year make each visit unique, but there’s something familiar on every trip. The spit is part of the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge, which is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and covers 631 acres. It is located at 554 Voice of America Road. Hikers are restricted to the north shore of Dungeness Spit to reach the New Dungeness Light Station and must arrive and depart between sunrise and sunset, avoiding high tides.

For a tide schedule, visit www.new dungenesslighthouse.com. Camping and beachcombing are not permitted in the refuge. Stretching 5.5 miles to the New Dungeness Light Station and several hundred yards beyond, Dungeness Spit is the nation’s longest natural sand spit, growing at a rate of about 20 feet per year. At the head of the trail in the Dungeness Recreation Area, pay the $3 per group fee and leave your pet in your car — pets are not allowed on the trail or the spit. Some 6,000 visitors annually make the trek. The first half-mile of the refuge is a picturesque trail through the upland

Olympic Discovery Trail
Portion of the Olympic Discovery Trail
Robin Hill Farm is approximately halfway between Sequim and Port Angeles and is a recreational park and demonstration area of about 195 acres. The park contains 2.5 miles of equestrian trails and about 3.5 miles of foot trails. Picnic areas and toilet facilities are available. From U.S. Highway 101 just west of its union with Kitchen-Dick Road, go north on Dryke Road one-quarter mile; turn right at the Robin Hill Farm gate. Railroad Bridge Park Railroad Bridge, once part of the rail line, is now part of the trail. Due to flood damage, though, the bridge is closed to through traffic. Repairs will not be finishes this summer. At the east end of the bridge is the Dungeness River Audubon Center with its many specimens of area birds and mammals.

Motorized vehicles are forbidden today, but the Olympic Discovery Trail often is thought of as a rail trail. That’s because of its history. Most of it was built over the rights of way for several defunct railroads such as the Port Townsend and Southern; the Seattle, Port Angeles and Western; and the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific. Those were abandoned and their rails lifted by 1988, when the Peninsula Trails Coalition organized for the purpose of incorporating the old rail beds into a hiking/biking/equestrian trail. Trail construction started in the 1990s. The route of the Olympic Discovery Trail traverses approximately 130 miles of lowlands, bordered on the south by the Olympic Mountain Range and on the north by the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The trail is a wide, paved pathway designed for bicyclists, hikers, and disabled users, with a 4-foot shoulder for equestrians where appropriate. Bikers and hikers are able to travel more than 30 miles of the Olympic Discovery Trail from Ediz Hook in Port Angeles to Blyn and points east of Sequim Bay State Park, negotiating public roads for only a few short distances. Portions of the Olympic Discovery Trail are wheelchair accessible. For more information, visit www.tinyurl.com/ODT-ADA. Eventually, the trail will extend from Port Townsend in the east to LaPush on the Pacific Ocean. Travelers can enjoy the trail in small bites also. In the Sequim-to-Port Angeles segment, distances between trail nodes — places where the trail crosses public roads — often are short. Look for map handouts at these points. Pets must be leashed everywhere on the Olympic Discovery Trail. For more information and updates, visit www.olympicdiscoverytrail.com. Robin Hill Farm County Park Part of the county’s park system,

Coming in from the Hood Canal, visitors have plenty of opportunities to jump off U.S. Highway 101 and head into Sequim and the Dungeness Valley. Several exits lead to different entry points of the city, and those traveling by car or bus may get a glimpse of the Sequim elk herd during the ride. Once within the city, grab your bicycle and take a ride on the Olympic Discovery Trail, or cruise around downtown to enjoy the sights.

Sequim’s Roosevelt elk herd
Sequim elk
Be on the lookout for Sequim’s famous Roosevelt elk herd as you enter town from the east. Elk-crossing signal lights on U.S. Highway 101 are triggered by herd members wearing transmitting radio collars. From time to time, they do cross the road en masse, halting traffic. Roosevelt elk are native to the Olympic Peninsula, with bulls weighing up to 1,100 pounds and cows in the 600-pound range. One herd, comprised of about 100 animals, considers the
Sequim area part of its range. When not in the forest, they graze in farm fields and on lawns. Although the Sequim elk appear to be tame, they are not. Normally, they avoid close contact with people and move away when approached; however, they may show signs of agitation if people get too close, throw things or when people or cars block what the elk consider to be an escape route. Caution should be used at all times when viewing the herd. Favorite spots for elk viewing seem to be along Happy Valley Road, West Sequim Bay Road and Port Williams Road.

Audubon Center Why does a Steller’s jay’s feather look blue when there is no blue pigment in it? Why does the murre’s egg have that odd shape? How do you tell a lynx from a bobcat? All kinds of answers — and a wonderful place to wander — are found at Dungeness River Audubon Center. With its example displays, hands-on exhibits and knowledgeable staff, it is a focal point for study and education concerning the Dungeness River watershed and its environs. Hands-on exhibits include drawers full of the fascinating and the curious: bones, feathers, eggs and teeth of species from songbird to mammoth. Children will enjoy going on a scavenger hunt through Railroad Bridge Park, and the Audubon Center is a great place to begin a ramble along the riverside trails through the forest or over the stony shore of the Dungeness River. From 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. every Wednesday, there are bird walks with volunteers from the Dungeness River Audubon Center. Meet at the center in Railroad Bridge Park. Other one-day and ongoing classes, as well as field trips, occur throughout the year. Drop into the center for a complete schedule. To east side parking: Take the River

Museum & Arts Center historical, too
The Sequim Museum & Arts Center is an all volunteer nonprofit that owns and runs the Dungeness Schoolhouse Built in 1892, the beautiful old structure can be seen on the east side of the Dungeness River Bridge, a few miles north of Sequim at 2781 Towne Road. Now listed on the National Register of Historic Places and a designated Washington State Historic Site, this former school and community center serves as a venue for many events. Weddings, birthday parties, performing arts, music, dance, history lectures, exercise classes and local meetings are some of the rentals in the upstairs auditorium or the downstairs classroom. To rent either of the rooms, email sequimmuseum@olypen.com or visit www.sequimmuseum.com to download a rental application and check rental rates. School or private tours can be requested by phoning 360-681-2257. The Sequim Museum & Arts Exhibit Center, 175 W. Cedar St., across from the new Sequim Civic Center, features the oldest mastodon bones in North America. The discovery by Manny Manis in Happy Valley, south of Sequim, brought worldwide attention to the area when Sequim suddenly appeared in National Geographic, The Smithsonian magazine and more than 200 publications throughout the world. Also on permanent exhibit is the
Jamestown S’Klallam tribal longhouse with artifacts and documents of the tribe’s heritage and culture. Local art, old pictures of settling the Sequim Prairie and the Ross Hamilton Collection share the center with the “Boys in the Boat” exhibit, celebrating the life of a Sequim boy, Joe Rantz, and the University of Washington rowing team. The young team took the rowing gold medal in the 1936 Olympics at

Sequim Visitor and Information Center “We are the first stop for information sources for many different types of people who are visiting or relocating,” said Shelli Robb-Kahler, executive director of the Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber and visitor information center. The chamber staff and volunteers operate the Visitor Information Center seven days a week, with closures scheduled only for major family holidays. While some visitors arrive at the center at some point during their stay in Sequim, many others may not be staying in Sequim but merely passing through, so the center has tourist information on the whole North Olympic Peninsula.

Jamestown S’Klallam tribe With its headquarters just east of Sequim in Blyn, the Jamestown S’Klallam tribe supports Peninsula residents through business enterprises, medical and dental clinics, and leadership in natural resources conservation. The campus of the Jamestown S’Klallam tribe also is one of the area’s most rewarding stops for visitors, with entertainment, great food and a glimpse into Northwest Native American culture. Resisting pressure to move from their traditional lands to a reservation at Skokomish, several Klallam communities under the leadership of Lord James Balch pooled their resources and in 1874 purchased 210 acres of land north of Sequim at a place the tribal members named Jamestown Beach. This group, the Jamestown S’Klallam tribe, remained organized and involved in the local economy. In 1981, the Jamestown S’Klallam tribe achieved federal recognition. Purchasing more land in a central location on U.S. Highway 101, the tribe established its governing offices. Services at the Blyn campus include dental care, a tribal library, social services and a community center. 7 CEDARS CASINO Perhaps the first place to draw the
visitor’s eye, 7 Cedars Casino, 270756 U.S. Highway 101, offers fine dining and entertainment along with casino table games and slots. Full-service dining is available at the Totem Grill or Napoli’s within the casino. RainForest Bar and Club Seven offer live music several nights a week and book various entertainers throughout the year. The casino also sponsors all kinds of special events, from karaoke to sports action, on a regular basis. The casino gift shop offers souvenirs, local products and Native American art. 7 Cedars Casino runs a free shuttle to Sequim and Port Angeles. Phone the casino at 360-683-7777 for the schedule. NORTHWEST NATIVE EXPRESSIONS ART GALLERY AND GIFT SHOP Located across U.S. Highway 101 about a quarter-mile east of 7 Cedars Casino, Northwest Native Expressions specializes in first-rate work by Northwest Native American artists. The gallery also stocks souvenirs, clothing, music and books. The children’s book selection is worth a stop in itself. THE HOUSE OF MYTH CARVING SHED Just down a flight of steps from Northwest Native Expressions is the center of operations for the artisans, headed by
lead carver Dale Faulstich, who create totem poles and other artwork for the tribe. Visitors are made to feel welcome at the carving shed. The carvers will answer questions and tell some of the history of the poles and photographs are encouraged. (Usually open to visitors weekdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) The carving shed is a great place to start a walking tour of the tribe’s totem poles. LONGHOUSE MARKET & DELI The Longhouse Market & Deli sits halfway between 7 Cedars Casino and the main Jamestown S’Klallam tribe campus. In addition to gasoline and groceries, the store offers fresh seasonal produce and seafood. A walk-in tobacco humidor and a wine shop also are part of the Longhouse Market. Open 24 hours daily. THE CEDARS AT DUNGENESS GOLF COURSE The Cedars at Dungeness, also owned by the Jamestown S’Klallam tribe, is a championship 18-hole golf course located just northwest of Sequim at 1965 Woodcock Road. Open to the public, The Cedars at Dungeness offers a pro shop as well as food at the Double Eagle Steak and Seafood Restaurant, open for dinner daily, and Stymie’s Bar and Grill, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Best places to catch crab Crab harvesting is typically best in Sequim and Dungeness bays, but you can also find Dungeness and red rock crabs elsewhere along the Strait of Juan de Fuca from Port Townsend to Neah Bay. Many people enjoy wading for crabs at low tide at Dungeness Bay in Sequim and Pillar Point County Park in Clallam Bay, while others prefer the use of crab pots and ring traps. For crab seasons, check the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations pamphlet.

Preserving and cherishing the North Olympic Peninsula’s maritime heritage also extends to its lighthouses. In 1850, Congress authorized 16 lighthouses along the Pacific coast and Strait of Juan de Fuca as shipping and passenger traffic surged with settlement of the Northwest. Clallam County, established in 1854, has a lighthouse heritage going back to 1857 when Congress appropriated about $40,000 to build the Cape Flattery (Tatoosh Island) and New Dungeness

EASY-TO-REACH WATERFALLS
Sol Duc Falls can be enjoyed year-round, but the route may require snowshoes in the winter. During the early spring, the runoff from the falls is pretty spectacular. Take U.S. Highway 101 west from Port Angeles for 30 miles, or 26 miles east from Forks. Turn southeast on the Sol Duc Hot Springs Road and follow it 14 miles to the trailhead parking lot. Trail guide maps are available at the trailhead. There is a wide gravel trail and a railed viewing area at this falls. Be careful when crossing the bridge over the falls. The wooden planks are slippery thanks to the constant spray from the falls. Madison Creek Falls is an easy hike just west of Port Angeles. Follow U.S. Highway 101 to Olympic Hot Springs Road. Turn south and follow the road to the parking area. The trailhead begins right at the parking lot. This is the Olympic National Park’s most accessible waterfall — only about 150 yards from the parking area over a fully paved, accessible trail. The falls is listed as a 60-foot-high cascade by the National Park Service. Several old-growth trees and stumps line the trail. A nearby picnic area in an old orchard provides an easy place for families to dine and enjoy the beauty of the Elwha Valley. 94
NORTH OLYMPIC PENINSULA GUIDE
Marymere Falls is a 1.8-mile roundtrip trail that leads day hikers through some of the Olympic National Park’s most pristine environment, weaving through old-growth forest. To reach the falls, take U.S. Highway 101 west from Port Angeles to the Storm King Ranger Station on Lake Crescent. The trailhead begins as a paved walkway that runs alongside the ranger station, a re-creation of the original station built in the early 1900s. You’ll see a nice view of the north side of the lake before wandering inland toward the falls. For about the first three-quarters of a mile of the trail, wheelchairs may be used with assistance. The final trek to the falls is a steep uphill climb, with the choice of two lookouts, one about 50 feet above the falls, the other at its base.

Port Angeles is the seat of Clallam County, and with more than 19,000 residents is the largest city on the North Olympic Peninsula. Visitors use the city as a base to explore Olympic National Park and Victoria, British Columbia. Views of the Olympic Mountains and Strait of Juan de Fuca are abundant in this authentic Northwest town. A variety of events, a quaint downtown and an active harbor make Port Angeles a joy to visit. Port Angeles sits between the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Olympic Mountains on a natural deepwater harbor, which was originally named “Puerto de Nuestra Señora de los Angeles” (or “Port of Our Lady of the Angels”) in 1791 by Spanish explorer Don Francisco de Eliza. This was eventually shortened into its current name, Port Angeles Harbor. However, long before Don Francisco came across the region, the area was home to Klallam tribes and two major Klallam villages, I’e’nis and Tse-whit-zen. Port Angeles was established as a townsite by President Abraham Lincoln in 1862 by executive order. The Board of Trade in 1890 called Port Angeles the “Second National City,” with Washington, D.C., being the first. In 1887, the utopian Puget Sound Co-Operative Colony settled in Port Angeles and population steadily grew. While the colony did not last long, it played a major role in the development of Port Angeles.

ARTS
PORT ANGELES
The marine life within the tanks at the Feiro Marine Life Center seems static until a volunteer points out a scallop filtering plankton, and several starry flounders and great sculpins blanketed in sand. These and other lessons are what the late Arthur Feiro, a Port Angeles biology teacher with a passion for marine life, wanted his legacy to be in establishing the center, which is situated on the city pier next to Hollywood Beach. The Feiro Marine Life Center is an educational and scientific organization promoting marine education and conservation. Educational programs for the community are scheduled on a regular basis. Visitors can get up close to local marine life in the center’s touch and view tanks and bank of aquariums. The exhibits are representative of the marine life inhabiting the Strait of Juan de Fuca, including a young giant Pacific octopus captured in the Strait. Close to 20,000 visitors walk through the nonprofit center’s doors annually. Feiro is open seven days a week year round, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. during the winter months.

Freshwater Bay, where river water spills into the Strait of Juan de Fuca, is a great place for an outing. Freshwater Bay County Park features 21 acres and has 1,450 lineal feet of public tidelands. The protected bay provides a tranquil location to launch kayaks and small boats to explore beautiful coves while enjoying panoramic views of Vancouver Island and Mount Baker. Once on the secluded bay, it is very common to come face to face with any number of marine mammals including harbor seals, orcas and river otters. Bald eagles often soar above the bay.

Freshwater Bay also is great for standup paddle boarding thanks to relatively shallow and calm waters. A 5-acre picnic area, naturally landscaped with Western red cedar and ferns, is located on the bluff above the bay. This area, the park’s restrooms and covered picnic shelters are open May 15 through Sept. 15. The lower picnic site, concrete launch ramp and beach access areas are open throughout the year. Freshwater Bay is only 10 miles west of Port Angeles. Just go west on state Highway 112, then travel 3 miles north on Freshwater Bay Road.

Olympic National Park often is called “three parks in one.” Where else can you view breathtaking mountain vistas, colorful tide pools and some of the largest remnants of ancient forests remaining in the nation in just one day? The park protects 922,651 acres encompassing three distinctly different ecosystems — rugged glacier-capped mountains, more than 70 miles of wild Pacific coast and magnificent stands of oldgrowth trees and temperate rain forest. A United Nations World Heritage Site and International Biosphere Reserve, the park is celebrated for its dramatic variety and untamed beauty. About 3 million people visit the park each year.
Before you start exploring Olympic National Park on foot or by vehicle
Second Beach
Stop by the Olympic National Park Visitor Center, 3002 Mount Angeles Road in Port Angeles, to pick up a map, buy a park pass and talk to a ranger about what there is to see and do during your visit. An Olympic National Park pass is good for up to seven consecutive days at any Olympic National Park entrance. The pass costs $15 for vehicles and $5 for individuals on foot, bicycle or motorcycle. Children 15 and younger are admitted free of charge. An annual pass costs $30 and is good at any Olympic National Park entrance for one year from the month of purchase. The America the Beautiful pass costs $80 and allows admission to all national parks for one year from the month of purchase. A lifetime American the Beautiful pass is available for seniors (62 and older) for $10. For additional pass information, including other discounted and volunteer pass options, visit www.nps. gov/olym.

Hurricane Ridge offers great views, varied hikes Hurricane Ridge is the most easily accessed mountain area within Olympic National Park. It is located 17 miles south of Port Angeles off Mount Angeles Road, the southern extension of Race Street that intersects with U.S. Highway 101 in Port Angeles. Follow Race Street out of town and follow signs leading to Hurricane Ridge. Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center is a great place to start your visit at the ridge. Stop there for brochures, maps, snacks and tips regarding your visit. It is open daily in the summer and whenever Hurricane Ridge Road is open during the remainder of the year. Hurricane Ridge offers ridgetop traverses and steep trails that descend to subalpine lakes and valleys. Hurricane Hill is a paved trail that
climbs to a panoramic view of mountains and saltwater. It has an elevation change of 700 feet. The first quarter-mile of the 1.6-mile (one way) trail is wheelchair-accessible with assistance. Cirque Rim is an easy paved trail with views of Port Angeles and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The half-mile (one way) trek has an elevation change of less than 50 feet and is wheelchair-accessible with assistance. Klahhane Ridge is one of the most popular trails at the ridge. The first 2.8 miles of this trail (elevation change of 250 feet) is on a ridge to a junction with the Klahhane Switchback Trail. An additional mile climbs 800 feet on the Switchback Trail to Klahhane Ridge. The trail is 3.8 miles one way.

Olympic Mountains rise from the water’s edge The Olympic Mountains are not very high — Mount Olympus, the tallest is just under 8,000 feet — but they rise almost from the water’s edge. The mountains intercept moisturerich air masses that move in from the Pacific Ocean. As this air is forced over the mountains, it cools and releases moisture in the form of rain and snow. At lower elevations, rain nurtures the forests, while at higher elevations snow adds to glacial masses that relentlessly carve the landscape. The mountains wring precipitation out of the air so effectively that areas on the northeast corner experience a rain shadow and get very little rain. For eons, wind and rain washed sediment from the land into the ocean. Powerful forces fractured, folded and overturned rock formations, which help explain the jumbled appearance of the Olympics. Ice Age glacial sheets from the north carved out the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Hood Canal, isolating the Olympics from nearby land masses. Surrounded on three sides by water
and still crowned by alpine glaciers, the Olympics retain the distinctive character that developed from their isolation. Glacial ice is one of the foremost scenic and scientific values of Olympic National Park. There are about 266 glaciers crowing the Olympic peaks. The most prominent glaciers are on Mount Olympus, covering about 10 square miles. Beyond the Olympic complex are the glaciers of Mount Carrie, Bailey Range, Mount Christie and Mount Anderson. In the company of these glaciers are perpetual snowbanks that have the superficial appearance of glacial ice. The movement of glacial ice past and present has produced striking geological features throughout the Olympic Mountains. Travel on the Olympic Mountains’ glacial ice is a specialized skill of mountaineering requiring the basic use of climbing rope, ice ax, crampons and good judgment by a climber accompanied by experienced leaders.
Kalaloch
Where land meets the sea More than 70 miles of Pacific Ocean coastline form a vital component of Olympic National Park. This coastline looks much as it did when Native Americans built their first villages thousands of years before Europeans arrived. The coast is where the land meets the sea, vibrating with life and energy — arches and sea stacks; the roar of crashing waves; the calls of gulls, bald eagles, cormorants and black oystercatchers; dramatic sunsets and the vastness of the ocean. At low tide, you can walk toward the surf, stopping at various tide pools along the way. If you squat down and spend some time just looking in a tide pool, you will be amazed at what you see; what first look like rocks are, in fact, small sea animals.

Spectacular wildflowers throughout the park A variety of wildflowers decorate the landscape of Olympic National Park in the spring and summer. In the mountains, look for lupine, avalanche and glacier lilies, phlox, delphinium and paintbrush. In the forest, keep an eye out for trillium, foxglove and skunk cabbage. Along the coast, you will find a variety of daisies, paintbrush and other delicate wildflowers. Popular places view wildflowers within the park include along the trails to Hurricane Hill, PJ Lake and Klahhane Ridge, the Hoh Rain Forest and the area around Lake Crescent.

Buying a home? Venture into the forest
Did You Know . . . ? Septic inspections are required in Clallam County.
There are four basic types of forests on the North Olympic Peninsula: temperate rain forest, lowland, montane and subalpine. Temperate rain forest is found at low elevations along the Pacific Ocean coast and in the western-facing valleys of the Peninsula, where lots of rain, moderate temperatures and summer fogs exist. The lowland forest grows farther inland from the coast and above the rain forest valleys. The lowland forest gives way to the montane forest. As elevation increases, temperatures cool and more moisture falls as snow; growing seasons get shorter and the subalpine zone takes over. The lower portion of the subalpine zone consists of continuous forest, but in the upper part of this zone, the forest thins out. Increasing elevation causes even more severe climatic conditions. Trees become fewer, shorter and more misshapen. When the tree line is reached, beyond which trees do not grow, a profusion of wildflowers often rewards your eyes.
Gravity septic systems must be inspected every 3 years. All other systems annually. Professional septic inspections are mandatory by time of property sale.

Elwha River Restoration, dam removal update The Elwha River Restoration is a National Park Service project that began in mid-September 2011. The project, the largest dam-removal project in history, entailed tearing down the 108-foot Elwha Dam and the 210-foot Glines Canyon Dam and restoration of the Elwha River watershed. The removal of both dams was completed in August 2014. The ongoing restoration work has allowed the Elwha River to flow through its native channel for the first time in more than 100 years, and will allow salmon to migrate upstream to spawn in the nutrient-rich habitat. In September 2014, the first reported sighting of chinook in the Upper Elwha River above the Glines Canyon Dam site in 102 years was confirmed. Much of the fine sediment that built up in the dams’ reservoirs, the former Lake Aldwell and Lake Mills, was released by the removal process and has changed the shape of the river and caused changes in the habitat at the mouth of the river and in Freshwater Bay. There is a link to a series of webisodes on the National Park Service Elwha River Restoration page that chronicle the removal of the Elwha and Glines Canyon Dams. The videos begin with the history of the dams and continue through their deconstruction and restoration of the ecosystem. For additional information, visit the National Park Service site at www.nps.gov and search for “Elwha River Restoration.”

In 1992, Congress passed the Elwha River Ecosystem and Fisheries Restoration Act, which called for full restoration of the ecosystem and fisheries. An environmental impact statement concluded that removal of both dams was the only way to achieve restoration.

The scenic Whale Trail is a string of 20 locations around Washington where visitors are likely to see whales and other marine mammals from shore. A sign at Salt Creek Recreation Area — positioned in the northwest corner of the park, near the stairs leading to Tongue Point — overlooks Crescent Bay, where gray whales often are seen. Along state Highway 112, which is also known as the Strait of Juan de Fuca National Scenic Byway, Whale Trail sites are found at Freshwater Bay County Park, the Sekiu Overlook and Shipwreck Point. For more information about the trail, visit www.thewhaletrail.org.
The store, built in 1911 by Joe Joyce, from whom the town gets its name, remains very much the same — false front, beaded ceilings, wooden floor. Much of the store’s interior is made of remnants from the opera house
and Markum House, which stood in the township of Port Crescent in the 1800s. Port Crescent was located a few miles north of Joyce on what is now Crescent Beach. Joyce Museum, housed in a former railroad station, is located next door. Built in 1915, it is considered to the last remaining log depot from the Milwaukee Road. Museum displays include railroad memorabilia with photos and artifacts of Port Crescent, Gettysburg, Disque, Twin, Piedmont, Camp Hayden at Tongue Point, Lake Crescent, Sol Duc and, of course, Joyce. It is built of Alaska yellow cedar and was restored by the Joyce Museum Society in 2002. Phone 360-928-3568 for hours of operation and other information. A popular local event is the Joyce Daze Wild Blackberry Festival, a one-day event that takes place the first weekend of August and features blackberry pies, pie-making contests, a community pancake breakfast, a lively parade, arts and crafts vendors and much more.

Great tide pools, camping at Salt Creek Salt Creek Recreation Area is a 196-acre Clallam County park near Joyce. One of the county’s most popular parks, it offers visitors forests, rocky bluffs, tide pools, sandy beach and campsites, and features panoramic views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Crescent Bay and Vancouver Island. Highlighted as a premiere birding site, Salt Creek is on the National Audubon’s Olympic Loop of the Greater Washington State Birding Trail. The area was once the location of Camp Hayden, a World War II harbor defense military base. Two concrete bunkers preserve its military history. The area was purchased after being decommissioned at the end of World War II. The adjacent Tongue Point Marine Life Sanctuary includes a rocky outcropping that, at low tide, reveals starfish, sea urchins, limpets, sea cucumbers and many other forms of marine life. When you visit tidal areas, practice tide pool etiquette.

Magical Marymere Falls Marymere Falls by way of the Barnes Creek trail is a favorite hike for people of all ages. The 0.8-mile trail leaves from Storm King Ranger Station and meanders through stands of old-growth trees along Barnes Creek until reaching a staircase to view the 90-foot falls. Those looking for more of a challenge should consider leaving the Barnes Creek trail on the return from the falls to tackle Mount Storm King. A 1.9-mile, calf-burning uphill climb leads to an overlook that on a clear day features spectacular views of Lake Crescent, Vancouver Island and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. A primitive trail continues to the mountain’s summit, but it is steep and exposed, and should only be attempted by skilled Bridge spanning Lake Crescent along the Spruce Railroad Trail hikers.
Exploring beautiful Lake Crescent on foot, bike Spruce Railroad Trail is an 8-mile roundtrip hike that runs along the north shore of the lake. The trail dates back to 1918 when the U.S. Army built a railroad track to make airplane frames for World War I. Though millions of dollars were spent, the railway wasn’t completed until 19 days after the war ended. The rails were later removed, but the trail remains for hikers and mountain bikers to enjoy. More information about hiking along the trail is available at the Storm King Ranger Station. The turnoff from U.S. Highway 101 to Olympic National Park’s Storm King Ranger Station leads to several picnic tables nestled in the trees, and makeshift sites along the shoreline provide the perfect place to enjoy a picnic lunch or dinner. Last-minute lunch supplies can be purchased at Shadow Mountain General Store, located along U.S. Highway 101 at Lake Sutherland, or at Fairholme General Store, located at the west end of the lake. The Storm King Ranger Station area includes restrooms and access to potable water, a ranger station, a boat launch and trails. After the picnic, consider getting out 132

Whether it is taking a row, kayaking, sailing or simply relaxing on the beaches and shores, Lake Crescent is a great place to visit, hike and stay for the night. There are several lodging options if you want to extend your Lake Crescent experience. On the west end of Lake Crescent, the Fairholme Campground has 87 campsites, one of which is wheelchairaccessible. The campground is open April through mid-fall. Sites cost $12 per night and are first-come, first-served. The Fairholme Campground Trail begins across Camp David Junior Road and wanders through dense stands of trees. For less primitive accommodations, try Lake Crescent Lodge or Log Cabin Resort. Lake Crescent Lodge is located at Barnes Point on Lake Crescent Road just off Highway 101.

Forests in the Quinault, Queets, Hoh and Bogachiel valleys are dazzling examples of primeval temperate rain forest. The drive to get there is beautiful in its own right, but the going can be slower than most North Olympic Peninsula trips.

Have your camera ready to take photos at a moment’s notice. There will be a lot of photo opportunities so be ready. It is common to see a bald eagle soaring above Lake Crescent or elk drinking in the Hoh River. Stop in Forks to stretch your legs, buy lunch and learn about the town.

In an effort to portray what logging and milling really were about, the Forks Chamber of Commerce soon created a logging and mill tour. Since its inception, thousands have climbed aboard the “crew bus” driven by volunteer guides, all are retired from the timber industry, and driven over logging roads to an active logging site and an operating lumber mill. The tours run Wednesdays from May 27 through Oct. 7, with a special Twilight edition on Thursday, Sept. 10. The tour is free but donations are gladly accepted to offset fuel costs.

As seen on TV: A new ‘legend’ of the Hoh Rain Forest While hiking the beauty that is the Hoh Rain Forest, you might just run in to a creature of the forest the likes of which are seldom seen. He is hairy, a little mossy, sometimes a bit dirty and most of the time barefoot. While Bigfoot might come to mind, the creature referred to here is a man named Mick Dodge. Dodge is the newest thing in reality TV and his series, “The Legend of Mick Dodge,” back for a second season on the National Geographic Channel, is gaining in popularity. City folks are heading in to the wilderness to seek out the barefooted wonder, and many have run in to him. He’s said to have left the modern world to survive in nature 25 years ago, but he does come to town to stock up on chocolate chip cookies, a weakness of his, and unannounced drop-ins at the Forks Visitor Center for barefoot photo opportunities. Dodge’s feet sport tree root tattoos and his family roots, on the West End, go back to his grandfather Will Dodge, who made a living in the timber industry in the 1930s.

A small town with heart Forks is known for many things. Historically, it is known as a timber town and the gateway to wild and rugged beaches. In more recent years, it has gained fame thanks to the Twilight series, which featured books and movies. To learn more about Forks’ part in Twilight, turn to Pages 148 and 149. Forks also is known for its annual rainfall, and celebrates the moisture that falls from the sky each April during RainFest. The phrase “long may it rain” has been an unofficial town slogan throughout the years. Visitors to Forks will find a nice selection of locally owned hotels, bed and breakfasts, cafes and retail stores. 138

Walking through a wall A camera is very important to carry along during your visit to Washington’s coastal beaches, and the West End has some of the most accessible beaches on the North Olympic Peninsula. Rialto Beach features views of offshore islands, pounding waves, giant drift logs and plenty of beach cobbles, making it one of the most popular beaches to visit. Hole in the Wall, a natural sea-carved arch, is about 1.5 miles north of Rialto Beach. It is within the Olympic wilderness but can easily be reached at low tide from Rialto Beach. During your trek along Rialto Beach, watch for bald eagles perched in the taller trees along the bluff. A variety of other birds will entertain you along the way. Watch for black oystercatchers, brown pelicans, guillemots, grebes, scoters and harlequin ducks as you stroll. At about 1 mile, you will reach Ellen Creek. To avoid wet footwear, look for a log to cross or take your shoes off to plod through the chilly water. Do not cross through Hole in the Wall when the tide begins to cover the floor of the arch. Take care when exploring tide pools under and near the arch. Rialto Beach, located about 75 miles from Port Angeles, is accessible by Mora Road, off of LaPush Road. Hole in the Wall

From Grays Harbor to Neah Bay, more than 600 rocks, reefs and islands dot the rugged coastline. Three wildlife refuges totaling 430 acres are within the boundaries of Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary and Olympic National Park. Hundreds of seabirds and other marine animals can be observed from vantage points along the way, particularly near Kalaloch and LaPush. During migration seasons, more than 1 million birds gather in the area. The Flattery Rocks National Wildlife Refuge runs from Cape Flattery to the Ozette area. Quillayute Needles National Wildlife Refuge extends from that southern boundary to about Kalaloch. The last of the three refuges is Copalis National Wildlife Refuge, from south of Queets to just north of Grays Harbor. All refuges are closed to the public to protect the habitat. But visitors can observe crowds of seabirds, either from land or sea. A good pair of lightweight binoculars and a camera are good accessories to have on hand. Protective rain gear, or at least a sturdy plastic bag, is recommended to protect cameras from rain showers. When walking along coastal beaches be aware of tides, weather, beach logs and other dangers. Most of the islands are small enough that they never have earned names on a map. Destruction Island and Point Grenville are among some of the betterknown locations. Refuge staff warn that boaters should stay at least 200 yards off the islands, both for their own safety and to avoid disturbing birds. The refuge areas are the primary breeding grounds for the tufted puffin, with its striped head and peculiar beak, and the common murre, which resembles a little penguin. The region, where 80 percent of the state’s seabird population nests, supports 12 types of marine birds. In addition, peregrine falcons and bald eagles reside with their cousins. Several types of seals, sea lions and otters also stop by the local kelp beds.

West End rain forests East of U.S. 101, Olympic National Park’s Hoh Rain Forest — which is the result of the West End getting 100-plus inches of rain each year — is one of the best examples of a temperate rain forest in the world. Less than an hour from Forks, the forest is reached by the Upper Hoh Road off Highway 101. The trees of the forest can grow as tall as 300 feet with a circumference of 23 feet around. Attempting to hug the Big Spruce on the way to the Hoh Rain Forest is a must for first-time West End visitors. The tree measures more than 270 feet tall, is about 12½ feet in diameter at the base and is estimated to be more than 550 years old. Although there are taller spruce trees in the forest, the roadside location of the tree makes it a great place to stop to stretch your legs. Short trails wind through stands of trees, ferns and nurse logs. After giving the tree a hug, head back to the car for the scenic and seemingly endless drive to the Hoh Rain Forest. Start exploring the forest by hiking the Hall of Mosses. This family friendly hike starts at the visitor center at the end of Hoh River Road. The trek is an easy 0.8-mile loop
Roosevelt elk in the Hoh Rain Forest
that takes about 45 minutes round-trip. Near the center of the Hall of Mosses is the Spruce Nature Trail, a 1.2-mile loop through the rain forest to the Hoh River. The trail meanders by the Hoh River and provides a chance to view elk exploring its braided gravel bars and cobbled rock banks. Budget about an hour for the round-trip hike. Travel south on Highway 101, and you’ll come across the green scenery at Queets. As the road begins to wind inland, take a drive to Lake Quinault.
This glacier-carved lake is surrounded by the old-growth trees of the Quinault Rain Forest. Sometimes called the Valley of the Rain Forest Giants, this area is home to some of the state’s largest and most impressive trees. A 30-mile drive loops around Lake Quinault and could reveal elk feeding on vine maple buds. A 0.2-mile trail near Lake Quinault Lodge will take you to the largest Sitka spruce tree in the world.

Hoh, Quinault tribes rich in tradition, history Hoh tribe The Hoh tribe is a small community in West Jefferson County, located along the mouth of the Hoh River that runs untouched by dikes or diversion into the Pacific Ocean. The Hoh River — famous for its king salmon run — is jammed at its mouth with a maze of massive spruce, hemlock and cedar old-growth driftwood. The river is the focal point of the tribe’s identity and stories.
Flooding is a nearly constant problem as the reservation is located on one square mile of land on a flood plain at the mouth of the Hoh River. However, additional land the tribe acquired will allow it to relocate much of the reservation to higher ground. For more information about the tribe, visit www.hohtribe-nsn.org.
Quinault Nation The Quinault Nation consists of the Quinault and Queets tribes and

descendants of five other coastal tribes — Quileute, Hoh, Chehalis, Chinook, and Cowlitz. The Quinault Nation is located in the rainsoaked lands on the southwestern portion of the Olympic Peninsula. The reservation is a land of forests, swift-flowing rivers, gleaming lakes and 23 miles of unspoiled Pacific coastline. The reservation is primarily in Grays Harbor County, with some parts in Jefferson County. For additional information, visit www.quinaultindiannation.com.

Be sure to pick up a copy of the Washington State Sportfishing Rules pamphlet while you’re here, as well as Olympic National Park official sportfishing guide. The pamphlets detail boundaries and regulations, as well as licensing. Current regulations usually are available at most tackle shops, sporting goods stores or wherever fishing

Licensing: Anglers can renew their license by visiting fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov or by calling 866-246-9453. A list of license vendors is available online at wdfw.wa.gov/licensing/vendors. Regulations: All anglers should refer to Fish and Wildlife fishing regulations before departing on any trip. Refer to the state’s Sportfishing Rules pamphlet, which is available where licenses are sold or online. Check regulations before fishing. Boater alert: A warning to private boaters with state fishing licenses only: make sure you stay on the U.S. side of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

Peninsula visitors can hunt everything from elk and deer to bear and cougar — even rabbit and grouse. Areas around Forks, Clallam Bay, Neah Bay and Sequim provide chances at large Roosevelt elk, while blacktail deer can be found all around the North Olympic Peninsula. Details about hunting seasons and regulations can be found in the Washington Big Game Hunting Seasons and Regulations pamphlet or the Migratory Waterfowl and Upland Game Season rules pamphlet. Both of the pamphlets outline specific information about boundaries, restrictions and licensing information. Pamphlets usually are available wherever licenses are sold and can also be downloaded at wdfw.wa.gov. Note that hunting is prohibited inside Olympic National Park. Washington law requires first-time hunters born after Jan. 1, 1972, to successfully complete a hunter education class before they can purchase a hunting license.
Ready to try shellfishing? On the North Olympic Peninsula you can find bucket-loads of oysters and clams. Going after crab and shrimp also are popular pursuits. Seasons fluctuate, and anyone wanting to go after razor or other clams, oysters and crab should first check the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations. The best way to figure out what’s open and what’s not is to visit www. wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/shellfish. Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge sets its own seasons and rules. Contact the refuge at 360-457-8451. Licenses are required for shellfish harvesting and may be purchased at most tackle shops and other stores. A COASTAL FAVORITE Razor clams are available on many coastal beaches, but domoic acid, a naturally occurring marine toxin that can cause amnesic shellfish poisoning in humans, sometimes causes digging closures. But in recent years, beaches have routinely opened to harvesting. Other species of shellfish are currently considered unsafe and should not be harvested from any beach on the state coastline. Look for informational signs at beach trailheads about closures. For information on which shellfish are and are not safe, and dates and locations on seasons, phone the state Department of Health’s beach closures/ shellfish toxin hotline at 800-562-5632 or log onto the Fish and Wildlife website at www.wdfw.wa.gov.

Still bitten by Twilight Die-hard Twilight fans, eager to see the location of author Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling books, travel to the North Olympic Peninsula to retrace the footprints of their favorite characters. Although none of the movies was filmed in the small town of Forks, people from all over the world have come to the West End, making stops everywhere from Forks High School, where Bella and Edward met, out to LaPush, where Bella visits her werewolf friend, Jacob. The majority of the four books of the Twilight series — and five motion pictures — are set in Forks. Forks, the epicenter of the vampire territory, is about 60 miles west of Port Angeles along U.S. Highway 101. You’ll spot the “The City of Forks Welcomes You” sign as you enter, where fans have their pictures taken. Replica of Bella’s truck at the Forks Visitor Center

Seeing wildlife at every turn is part of the experience Clallam Bay, Sekiu and Neah Bay are excellent places to view wildlife ranging from bald eagles and a vast array of sea birds to harbor seals, sea lions, sea otters, gray and humpback whales. As you travel along state Highway 112, which is also known as the Strait of Juan de Fuca National Scenic Byway, you will find easy access to a number of beautiful beaches. Stop to take a photo or two and see what the tide left behind. The winding drive offers several just-off-the-road overlooks that are perfect for trying to spot whales as they move along the coast in search of food. Summer and fall are the best time to view whales along the byway when gray whales follow the shorelines and bays in search of food. The whales often suction small shrimp and worms from soft near-shore sediments. SPRING/SUMMER 2015

Explore on land or water Pillar Point County Park is located 10 miles east of Clallam Bay along scenic Highway 112. The 4.3-acre offers saltwater-beach access and a concrete launch ramp for small boats, and is a great place to start a kayak trip. The mudflats are a prime hunting spot for crabs when the season opens. Pull off the road and picnic as you feel the breeze blowing off the water and hear the shorebirds. Picnic tables are nestled under shade trees and provide a panoramic viewpoint to enjoy watching birds search for food in tide pools and in the cool waters offshore. This is also the location of an Audubon-designated IBA (Important Bird Area) due to the unique estuary bay shoreline habitat and wide variety of shorebirds.
Birdwatchers paradise Clallam Bay Spit Community Beach County Park is a 33-acre dayuse county park located in the center of the Clallam Bay community, where the water of the Clallam River empties into the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The county park is jointly managed with Washington State Parks. The park includes public access to Clallam Spit, a mile of a sand/gravel saltwater beach and access to the Clallam River. The parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s location provides a constant source of food for birds. Watch for eagles and osprey feeding on the beach. It also is common to see a variety of marine life just offshore including seals, sea lions and sometimes even whales. The interaction between the river and the Straitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tides often result in drastic changes in the landscape. A picnic area and full-service restroom are available. The area is a wonderful place to stretch your legs before hitting the road again to continue to Sekiu and Neah Bay. The park is located in the center of the Clallam Bay community. SPRING/SUMMER 2015

Clallam Bay and Sekiu (pronounced SEEK-you) are the Strait of Juan de Fuca’s fishing headquarters. Here you can find charters for fishing — halibut, salmon, lingcod and rockfish are good catches — plus diving, kayaking, whale watching, birdwatching and general sightseeing. Vacation homes, beach cabins, bed and breakfasts and resorts offer guests comfortable places to stay, while local restaurants serve up fresh-off-the-boat fish and other seafood. The beach area between the two towns is a good place to beachcomb, hunt agates and explore tide pools. For more details about Clallam Bay and Sekiu, contact the Clallam Bay/Sekiu Chamber of Commerce (360-963-2339, www.clallambay.com or www.sekiu.com). A little farther down the highway, the Makah Marina is a popular place to start a fishing trip. A number of guides operate charters out of Neah Bay and offer an array of opportunities to catch your limit. Marine tours of Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary are available through some sport fishing companies. Neah Bay Chamber of Commerce (www.neahbaywa.com) features more information about fishing in Neah Bay.
Shi Shi Beach
Top wild beach experience Numerous publications have listed Olympic National Park’s Shi Shi Beach as a top beach experience year after year for good reason. This wilderness beach offers breathtaking views of the Pacific and nearby Point of the Arches, excellent tide pools, spires, arches and more. The Shi Shi Beach Trail, a 3.3-mile trek from the Makah Reservation in Neah Bay to the beach, is the easiest way to reach the beach. Much of the trail is a boardwalk that meanders through lush forests, but other sections of the trail can be very muddy, especially after a heavy rain. As the trail winds closer to the ocean, take note of sheer and unmarked cliffs and keep children close. Caution should be used when walking down the steep 150-foot bluff that leads to the beach. Take advantage of safety ropes and pay close attention to tree roots as you descend to the beach. A $10 Makah Recreation Permit is required to use the trail. Turn to Page 151 for permit details. The Shi Beach Trail is very popular during the summer months, especially on weekends. Located south of Shi Shi Beach is the spectacular Point of the Arches — a mile-
long parade of rugged sea stacks. A long stretch of sandy beach leads to Point of the Arches in about 2.3 miles. Photographers flock to Point of the Arches and often camp for several days to try to capture the beauty of the craggy sea stacks at sunset and sunrise.
Pay close attention to weather reports and tides if planning to camp. Camping reservations are required from May 1 through Sept. 30. For hiking and camping information, phone Olympic National Park’s Wilderness Information Center at 360-565-3100. Point of the Arches at sunset

The privately owned Black Ball Ferry Line operates the MV Coho, which takes passengers and vehicles between Port Angeles and Victoria daily. Departure times vary seasonally, with up to four round trips available during the peak summer months. Crossing time takes about 90 minutes. Departures leave from the Port Angeles ferry landing, 101 E. Railroad Ave., and return from the Victoria ferry landing, 430 Belleville St. For updated schedule and fare information, contact Black Ball Ferry Line (360-457-4491, www.cohoferry.com).
Required crossing documents All U.S. citizens and permanent residents who cross the international border must carry a valid passport or an accepted traveler program card to return to the United States via sea, including passengers aboard the ferry to the Port Angeles port of entry. Citizens of the United States and Canada will need to present one of the following if taking the ferry between the two countries: • Passport, passport cards or trusted travel program cards (NEXUS, SENTRI and FAST). • An enhanced driver’s license/ID card. • U.S. military identification with military travel orders, U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Marine ID document when traveling on official maritime business, or enhanced tribal cards. Visitors to the Peninsula who are not U.S. or Canadian citizens will be required to have a passport and possibly a visa to enter the U.S. A permanent resident of the U.S. will be required to show his or her immigration “green card” at the ports of entry. All U.S. and Canadian citizens 15 and younger only need proof of their citizenship with an original or photocopy of a birth certificate or citizenship card. Groups of U.S. and Canadian citizen children 18 and younger, when traveling with a school or religious group, social organization or sports team, will be able to enter under adult supervision with originals or copies of their birth certificates or other proof of citizenship. Those with a criminal record — including a DUI — can be denied entry into Canada. There is a process for applying for a waiver. For more information, visit U.S. Customs and Border Protection at www.cbp.gov and Canadian Border Services at www.cbsa-asfc. gc.ca.
Parliament Buildings in Victoria
Victoria offers rich history, British charm found to reach other popular sites. First-time visitors might want to start at the Greater Victoria Visitor Information Center, on the waterfront across from the imposing Empress Hotel, just a short walk from the ferry terminal. The center has maps, brochures, information on accommodations and friendly advice. The Royal British Columbia Museum, located near the Parliament Buildings, has special exhibits and an unparalleled First Nations area. The National Geographic Theater at the museum presents an IMAX experience with a six-story-tall screen showing several movies that provide worldwide adventures. Plenty of shops can be found along Government Street. The real ‘‘main street,’’ however, is Douglas Street, and everything from major department stores to out-ofthe-way specialty shops can be found on side streets off Douglas between Courtney and Pembroke. Food-fanciers should note that some of the finest bakeries in the world are found on Fort Street between Douglas and Blanshard. Authentic British and Irish pubs are

a great way to take a break from shopping and walking.

Victoria, a city full of classic British charm, is just a ferry ride away. While the trip from Port Angeles may not exactly rank as an overseas journey, travelers definitely are in another country when they set foot in Victoria. You can make the 20-mile trip to Victoria for a one-day trek, a weekend getaway or a longer vacation, using the quaint city with the British atmosphere as the starting point for an extended tour of Vancouver Island. The MV Coho ferry from Port Angeles lands in downtown Victoria — a city with a metropolitan population of more than 300,000 — after a scenic cruise across the Strait of Juan de Fuca and through Victoria Harbour. The Fairmont Empress Hotel dominates the waterfront as ferry passengers arrive at Victoria’s Inner Harbour from Port Angeles. Harbor tours, available by a number of operators, give a different perspective of the distinctly British city. Parliament Buildings, the Royal British Columbia Museum, downtown shops, restaurants and Chinatown are all located within walking distance of the ferry landing. Public transportation easily can be
