Welcome to Sedro-Woolley!

am honored to be Sedro-Woolley’s mayor and share my passion for our great town. The many festivals and events organized throughout the year epitomize our hometown feel and community spirit: the Loggerodeo; the Rotary’s free concert series at Riverfront Park, September’s “Founders’ Day” celebration, and our annual Christmas Parade and tree lighting ceremony to name a few. Sedro-Woolley is the place to be! While you are in town, check out our improved public facilities. City Council has

worked diligently to reinvest your hardearned tax dollars back into our public facilities. Getting things done “The SedroWoolley Way” including partnering with local service groups and youth sports organizations has resulted in a fresh new look and feel to many of our parks and open spaces. Winnie Houser Park will be the new home of youth soccer through a partnership with the Sedro-Woolley Youth Soccer Association. Thanks to tens of thousands of dollars in materials and time contributed by Sedro-Woolley Rotary, Tesarik Field has a new permanent home adjacent to city hall and the Sedro-Woolley Skate Park. Babe Ruth Baseball’s new field at Janicki Fields is a result of close cooperation and resource sharing between Babe Ruth Baseball, the city and the Sedro-Woolley School District. In addition, we have park caretakers at Bingham, Memorial and Riverfront Parks to assist in maintenance and security and to make your park experience better. Check

out fresh new exhibits at the museum and take a picture with Sasquatch! The list goes on…please get out and enjoy YOUR facilities. Our city is experiencing a renaissance in growth as investors respond to our “SedroWoolley Means Business” philosophy. Applications for business licenses and building permits are driving staff additions to handle the increased enthusiasm. I believe the catalyst, at least in part, is the bright vision of future growth on the former Northern State property. A strong partnership with the department of Enterprise Services, Skagit County, and the Port of Skagit is paving the way for a new and exciting chapter at this historic site. I encourage visitors and residents alike to invest here, shop here and live here. From award-winning schools to our priceless views, there is so much to love about Sedro-Woolley.

Janicki Bioenergy

n 2011, Janicki Industries was approached by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation looking for ideas to improve the handling and disposal of fecal waste from pit latrines in the developing world. Looking to take on the challenge of how to economically incentivize the world to deal with the sanitation crisis and provide safe drinking water, Janicki assembled a team to address the problem. After many useful field visits to South Africa, Kenya, West Africa and India, the team had a better understanding of the challenges, and a growing commitment to find a solution. In 2012, the concept for the Omni Processor was born. The opportunity is to turn sewage into clean drinking water and electricity, while stopping sewage from damaging living spaces and water sources such as local rivers in places that lack proper sanitation infrastructure. The goal is to create a system that is simple enough to be used by a layman but useful enough that the village could earn money by accepting and processing waste from surrounding communities. In 2013 Janicki Industries manufactured the first Omni Processor machine. In 2014, Peter and Susan Janicki opened a new company called Janicki Bioenergy. Local officials are working to complete the setup of state owned land at the old Northern State Hospital grounds as an incubator campus for the project that will facilitate research, development, training and production. In winter 2016, engineers working on rigorous

data-driven analysis put the next generation Omni Processor through the first stage of testing and upgrades at the Sedro-Woolley facility. It is now in the second wave of testing and redesigns to fully confirm all expected performance parameters. “Today, Sedro-Woolley is on the leading edge of sanitation technology, thanks to Janicki Bioenergy’s Omni Processor…,” noted City Supervisor Eron Berg. The STEM Network grant couldn’t have come at a better time as it coincides with the redevelopment of the Northern State campus as a Center for Innovation and Technology in the Pacific Northwest. The center’s first tenant is expected to be Janicki Bioenergy; it is estimated that more than 1,000 science, technology, engineering and math jobs could be located at the center within the next five years.

Sedro-Woolley School District

he Sedro-Woolley School District has been working hard to fulfill its mission: Every student graduates with the knowledge and skills for future learning and success. A focus on student-centered learning has brought the use of targeted strategies that integrate life, college and career readiness into classroom learning as well as plans such as the language program GLAD®, shown to increase student engagement in lessons and learning at deeper levels. The approach seems to be paying off - the 2015 graduating class saw 71 students (31 percent) together being offered scholarships totaling $2 million. Overall, 70% of the class of 2015 said they were planning to go on to post secondary programs; 56% of the class filled out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), an increase of four percentage points over last year. (The U.S. Department of Education has found that 90% of students who fill out the FAFSA will go on to a postsecondary program within one year of graduation).

The square is named for the property’s original owner, Wyman Hammer, whose family donated the space to the city. View downtown from the city’s HammerCam at www.ci.sedro-woolley.wa.us.

Outdoor Sports

hat was once the Metcalf Ballfield is undergoing a transformation from a Babe Ruth field to a Little League field and will be re-named Tesarik Field as a memo-

rial to Erik Tesarik. More bleachers are being added for spectators with future plans for increased amenities, including lights. The field is located in the northwest corner of the skate park, near the basketball court between Metcalf and Munro Streets. There are two outdoor basketball courts. The first is located next to the skate park and Tesarik Field between Metcalf and Munro Streets and the second is at Riverfront Park. Located off of Rhodes Road on a nearly 10-acre site, Winnie Houser Park is home to Sedro-Woolley Youth Soccer. Formally opened on October 13, 2012, the skate park attracts skaters from all over the region. It is located next to Tesarik Field and the basketball court between Metcalf and Munro Streets. Local youth participated in the planning phase of the project before construction began in July, 2012. The park was built as a safe recreation space for youth with the support of the Sedro-Woolley Rotary Club and then president and retired Police Chief, Doug Wood. The Rotary club raised $200,000 in funding and members donated their time, labor, equipment and supplies to get the park built on schedule and within budget. Other large contributors were the McIntyre Foundation and the City of Sedro-Woolley but there were many other businesses, foundations and individuals who made donations. There is an annual Skate Park Competition, held the second Saturday in September - September 10, 2016. The Regional competition is at the Sedro-Woolley Skate Park after preliminary competitions are held at neighboring city parks. Local highschool students compete and a professional skating team comes to exhibit and judge tricks and form. Parents can seek what is happening at the skate park live anytime at www.swskatepark.com.

Fishing Cain Lake Fishing opportunities include stocked rainbow trout and resident large-mouth bass and yellow perch. The best time to fish rainbow trout is early in the season before the stock becomes depleted and warmer water temperatures force trout to seek areas of colder refuge. Fall is also a great time to cast a line on Cain Lake as cooler temperatures prevail; fish that have been hiding out in cooler areas and that have been growing all summer become more active around the lake. A WDFW boat launch is available on the south end of the lake; other access points may be private property. Two-pole fishing is allowed but no motors over five miles per hour. Fishing seasons on Cain Lake: Large-mouth bass: April – October Rainbow trout: April – October Yellow perch: April – October Fishing the Skagit River The Skagit River is one of Washington State’s largest rivers. It has historically hosted the second-largest runs of steelhead and salmon in the state. The Skagit River originates in Canada and is impounded in Ross Lake; its major tributaries include the Cascade, the Sauk and the Baker. The Skagit above the Sauk is generally very clear as a majority of the river flows from Ross Lake behind two dams. The Cascade will occasionally color the river during a winter high water, but otherwise it is very clear. The water below the Cascade is broad and relatively flat with long even riffles and runs, making it ideal fly fishing water. Fishing seasons on the Skagit River: Summer steelhead: June – November Sockeye: July Chinook: July – August Pink: August – September (in odd numbered years) Sea-run cutthroat: August – October Coho: September - November Chum: October - November Winter steelhead: December - April

he Sedro-Woolley Museum has been welcoming visitors from all over the world for the last 23 years. It is a cherished resource that enjoys broad support; most items on display were donated by members of the community and the museum is operated by an all-volunteer staff. Carolyn Freeman has been involved with the museum since its inception 25 years ago. She served as the president once before for four years and resumed the role again 12 years ago. Carolyn speaks passionately about the museum, saying that her work there has been a “very rewarding experience… and loves that the museum is up close and personal with almost everything out for display.” The Sedro-Woolley Museum celebrates its frontier history, boasting several set exhibits including a re-creation of a frontier town with a barn and a main street with post office, jail, newspaper office and dental office.
