Rod Farlee, vice president of Friends of Olympic National Park, is proposing the Enchanted Valley chalet be moved about 150 yards to preserve its historic value. Below, the chalet sits above the East Fork Quinault River before it was moved in 2014.

PORT TOWNSEND — Regardless of its outcome, the 2016 presidential election will draw a greater percentage of young people into the political process than in the past, according to an elected at-large delegate to the Democratic National Convention. Ryan McAllister, 28, who lives in Discovery Bay, is one of only 10 at-large delegates selected from throughout the state at the convention in Tacoma on June 19 to vote at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, set July 25-28. “With the popularity of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, people have shown they want a nonestablishment person, someone who does not represent the status quo,” said McAllister, who is pledged to Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont, on the first ballot. “That is a good thing right now because both candidates are calling on young people to get involved,” McAllister added. McAllister works as an emergency room technician at Harrison Medical Center in Silverdale and is a part-time student preparing to apply for a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program in 2018. He has worked in the past for East Jefferson Fire-Rescue. He said he has been politically aware for much of his life and voted twice for Barack Obama for president but was not as excited about
Ryan McAllister Will attend national convention those elections as he is this year. Sanders, he said, has energized and enthused him. “Bernie Sanders is challenging me to become more personally involved in the political process,” he said. “He has said that he only can do so much if he becomes president, and he is making us responsible for our democracy and inviting us to change it from the inside.”
Millennial generation McAllister affiliates himself with the millennial generation, loosely defined as those who were born between 1980 and 2000. TURN

SEATTLE — In a case that could have big implications for dams and other development in the Northwest, a federal appeals court panel said Monday that Native American tribes have a right not only to fish for salmon but for there to be salmon to catch — a ruling that affirms the duty of the United States to protect the habitat of the prized fish under treaties dating back more than 150 years. Three judges from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reached their unanimous decision in a case involving culverts, large pipes that allow streams to
