Restaurants almost full. Gyms open. The Rose showing movies again. Booklovers at the library. Swimming at Mountainview. Soccer, softball games on glorious Spring days. Open mics, church services, street music. Beer drinking outside at the Pourhouse. Whale watching. Everything not open before now open again.
This could be Jefferson County in a little over three weeks if our County Commissioners don’t again drag their feet.
It could have been Jefferson County this coming week if they had not wasted the chance we earned at an early open. Counties whose leaders weren’t lazy and dilatory will be moving into Phase 3 of the Governor’s reopen scheme this coming week. But not Jefferson County.
It is possible we might again fall behind the rest of the state unless our leaders wake up and work with the same sense of urgency as the people who pay their salaries. You see, we don’t get to move forward unless our Board of County Commissioners wants us to move forward. Phase 3 is no longer automatic. Whether any of the joyous things in the first paragraph happen is all up to them.
To recap: At the end of April Governor Inslee released a list of ten counties with negligible COVID risk and adequate medical preparations that would be allowed, should they request, to move into Phase 2 reopening ahead of the rest of the state. Some County Commissions worked over the weekend and put in their variance request within one to two days. Their businesses were opening by the end of the week.
Jefferson County dragged the process out for three weeks with one meeting after another. About twenty counties were in Phase 2 by the time our county’s Board of Health finally approved a request for variance on Thursday May 21. All county commissioners are members of the Board of Health. In many counties, the commissioners convened immediately following the BOH meeting to approve, in their role as the Board of County Commissioners, the variance they had just approved in their role as members of their respective Boards of Health. They didn’t waste time. They did not forget their communities were hurting.
But Jeffco’s commissioners took an entire 24 hours more to rest and reconvene on the afternoon of Friday, May 22 for all of half an hour to vote the same way they had the day before. They thought that the Washington Secretary of Health would not approve the request until at least the following Monday. He turned it around that evening. Commissioner Kate Dean actually complained about how quickly that happened.
The Governor has abandoned his rigid 4 Phase plan, and will now allow counties to move forward on a case-by-case basis, so long as they demonstrate the required metrics for low virus activity and medical preparedness. As soon as three weeks pass after entering Phase 2, counties may seek to move into Phase 3. It also means that unless county commissioners act to enter Phase 3, the county remains where it is regardless of what happens statewide.
Those counties that acted diligently to move into Phase 2 can ramp up for Phase 3 as early as June 3. But, as crazy and foolish as it looks to anyone else, because Jefferson County’s commissioners approved a plan that made us dependent on Clallam County’s reopening–delayed until June 1–the soonest we could seek going to Phase 3 would be June 24–even though we otherwise qualify right now. That June 24 date depends on the Commissioners acting on June 1, which won’t happen. So our earliest Phase 3 date is more realistically further days, if not weeks later than that.
It remains to be seen how quickly our lethargic BOCC will move. They could again dilly-dally and ignore the pleas of the overwhelming majority of businesses wanting to open quickly. Restaurants, in particular, need fast action. They desperately need to get above the 50% capacity limit in Phase 2 to the 75% allowed in Phase 3. Restaurant margins are incredibly skinny. Very few can operate profitably at half capacity with the recent steep increases in food costs as well as the increased operating costs imposed on them by the Governor’s micromanagement of restaurant operations.
An excellent piece of news that flattens at least one speed bump: the Governor is not requiring action by the Board of Health as a precondition for a county to move into Phase 3, as he did for an early move into Phase 2. If you read our coverage on the dysfunctional, hysterical, unscientific, self-centered, uninformed, hairbrained, and incompetent (and other fitting adjectives and expletives) Board of Health proceedings you’ll understand why the Governor has done us a favor by cutting them out of the process for entering Phase 3.
Here is the Governor’s county-by-county plan press release with a link to the plan itself. Unlike the early phase 2 option, this plan does not explicitly require Board of Health action, and prevent amendment by the county commission.
Some of the people wearing them are proclaiming that maskless people are ignorant at best, and “Killing People!” at worst.
The people not wearing masks are confounded by the people who are wearing masks, while driving in a car solo with the windows rolled up.
We all can agree that it would be ideal if people who are sick with a respiratory virus should wear a mask so as not to spread disease from exhalations of the mouth and nose. That is what masks are designed for and how they function.
All of us aren’t sick. In fact, a great majority of us are not any more sick than we were before this all started.
A few months ago we were told millions would die and our health care system would collapse.
That hasn’t happened.
What has happened is that small businesses have been decimated and 38 million people have filed for unemployment because of two months of shut downs prescribed by the people that told us millions would die and our healthcare system would collapse.
Some in the population have been paralyzed by fear and demand that we keep everything closed, especially everything that might bring in outsiders even though the Jefferson County public health officer, Dr. Thomas Locke, has stated there is no evidence of tourists spreading the virus. But never mind and, just in case, everyone should be required to wear a mask under penalty of law.
Many in the population are watching their business or their employer’s business built with blood, sweat, tears, life savings, and second mortgages, burn to the ground in the flames of political dithering, while the authorities threaten to sue them and, or, pull their business licenses if they dare to open. The last thing these people are thinking about is wearing a mask.
If you are wearing a mask and it makes you feel better, then by all means don’t stop.
If you aren’t wearing a mask, just know there are many more of us than there are of them.
Pro-democracy protesters wear face masks in Hong Kong. Those masks don’t make the protestors any less courageous or determined. They don’t silence their voices one bit. Indeed, they started wearing masks last year after the totalitarian Chinese government banned face coverings. They wear their masks not only against a virus, but also against tear gas.
In the United States, we’d be more inclined to accept masks if they had not been turned into a virtue signal, a sign of surrender to conformity and the Left’s agenda to mold all into their image and thought patterns. It certainly would also have helped if the experts had not lost so much of their credibility.
And it would definitely help if our Public Health Officer stayed out of politics. Dr. Thomas Locke has hurt his credibility in this county by stepping out of the role of an objective epidemiologist to make subjective and inherently political decisions as to whose job, business, and livelihood he sees as “high” value and whose job, business, and livelihood he is willing to trash because to him it just doesn’t seem as worthy.
He is also outside his proper role when he goes off about some politicians using masks “as a wedge issue” and mocking the concerns of protestors, many of whom have had their lives destroyed while the politically privileged continue to get paychecks and large corporations escape the pain inflicted on small businesses. Not long ago he recklessly accused the state of Georgia of “recklessly” reopening, when data shows a resurging Georgia economy but steep drops in hospitalizations and deaths. He has yet to retract that accusation, nor has he acknowledged that the CDC has reduced by 13 times the transmission rate of the virus. If you want a job on MSNBC as a partisan pundit, go for it, Dr. Locke. But don’t think we don’t see you yourself using masks as a wedge issue when you spout off like that.
You told the County Commissioners you need to do a better job of messaging to break down the resistance to wearing masks. You certainly do.
Back to those Hong Kong protestors.
They are fearless. They don’t hide, they don’t accept censorship, they accept punishment for speaking out.
I would propose we follow their lead. Governor Inslee has made himself a dictator, let’s not deny that. We don’t face the same repression as the Hong Kong protestors, but we do strive for the same thing: democracy, recognition of individual rights, the rule of law. Inslee’s lock down order, his unilateral extension of his omnipotence, his arbitrary and unchecked power to declare who and what is “essential” or not, his constantly moving goal posts to further extend his unchecked powers…this is dictatorship. We should and must speak against it and push back, especially since our Governor has been so wrong and has caused so much unnecessary suffering, from destroyed jobs and businesses, to crippling the healthcare industry, to causing a tidal wave of health problems unrelated to COVID but directly caused by his vague, poorly drafted orders that prevented physicians and hospitals from providing urgent care to thousands.
Jefferson County is going to get a masking directive. It’s coming and we can’t stop it. I’ve been donning a mask for the past months as I enter stores. I understand the theory that a mask will prevent one’s “droplets” from spreading. It’s not a perfect barrier but it is still a barrier. A cloth mask will not protect me, hardly at all, I also understand that. And if a business asks customers to wear a mask, I don’t mind complying. I see that request as similar to a “no shoes, no service” rule.
I also wear a mask in sympathy with oppressed business owners. Inslee–and Locke, with the considerable powers granted Public Health Officers–can snuff out their livelihoods with a word or two. Inslee has weaponized the agency that issues and cancels business licenses to terrify their owners and employees against insubordination. If keeping them open, and getting more to turn on its lights comes at the price of me wearing a mask, that is a small price to pay to win some freedom for my fellow citizens and get Dictator Jay’s jackboot off their necks.
I don’t believe much of what Dr. Locke says anymore. I think he’s exaggerated risks, minimized the terrible costs of the lock down order, and overstepped his authority by engaging in inherently political decisions unrelated to medical science. I barely believe anything Inslee says, a long way from where I was in March when this started. Then I easily accepted losing a chance at urgent surgery in the belief that my hospital bed would be needed by someone struggling for life, a belief I have since learned was based on false information and wildly inaccurate scenarios being fed the public at the time. That was before Inslee’s own mask came off to reveal him as an incompetent and base political operative abusing his self-proclaimed powers.
I intend to use the mask requirement to exercise rather than euthanize my First Amendment rights. Some time ago when I saw this coming, I bought a Trump 2020 face mask. Its blue and red letters stand out starkly against the nice white fabric. I think it will look great as I shop in the Co-op and along Water Street when King Jay lets our stores reopen–stores that he closed while allowing big corporations (political donors, all) to operate with very few restrictions.
I’ve got other masks on order that will be even more entertaining.
If we don’t wear masks those exercising dictatorial powers are going to close, or refuse to reopen businesses and throw more people out of work. They are going to destroy entrepreneurs, the backbone of our economic freedom.
So fine, we’ll wear masks but let’s use it against our oppressors. We don’t have to face clubs and guns and fire hoses–yet. This is nothing, so let’s have some fun with it and use our masks to speak for freedom.
“There is no evidence tourists spread COVID.” That was what Dr. Thomas Locke, Jefferson County’s Public Health Officer, told the Board of Health. Unfortunately for Jefferson County his words at the BOH’s pivotal May 21 meeting were quickly forgotten.
Driven by fear, almost all members of the Jefferson County Board of Health voted to keep sending the county’s consumer dollars to Big Box stores and to kill off many of our restaurants. What they did, in their words, was to prohibit in-store retail sales and even limited dine-in restaurant service until Kitsap County, with its quarter million population, and Clallam County, with 78,000 people amass sufficient medical resources and hospital space, implement plans for any potential future outbreak and suppress COVID sufficiently to move into Phase 2 of the Governor’s reopen scheme.
No matter what we do here, no matter how hard our businesses and their employees try, no matter how negligible the virus risk here, the fate of many of our retail businesses and all our restaurants will hinge on what happens elsewhere.
More than a month ago, Georgia allowed its restaurants, retail stores and just about everything else to reopen. The press went into a gleeful frenzy of feigned concern. People were going to die by the tens of thousands. Inhumane madness, they cried. The media has since lost interest in Georgia. Why? Because Georgia’s rapid and robust reopening is doing just fine. Consider this graph from the Atlanta Journal Constitution showing hospitalizations dropping by over a third since Georgia reopened:
COVID related deaths in Georgia are also down by nearly 25% since reopening. We could learn from Georgia. But never mind science and data.
County Commissioner Kate Dean led the opposition to reopening our restaurants and retail stores. From the start of the meeting she had been throwing procedural roadblocks in the way, such as wanting to wordsmith and rewrite Dr. Locke’s entire proposal. She was the first to shoot down a motion by Commissioner Greg Brotherton and seconded by Hospital Commissioner Kees Kolff to allow Jefferson County restaurants and retails stores to get the same green light as restaurants and retail stores have now received in 20 other Washington counties.
Dean’s reasoning: She agreed with Brotherton that our business people are responsible and trustworthy. She “has faith in them,” and is convinced they would do everything to operate as safely as the other retail establishments the Governor never closed, from grocery stores to wine sellers to pot shops to convenience stores. But she “distrusted” (her word) people from places like Kitsap County. “There is something psychological” she declared that makes people coming here irresponsible and a danger to our community.
As every day of closure is critical for businesses on the brink, you would think, were she acting responsibly, that she would have had something solid to justify forcing our stores and restaurants to continue to suffer.
So what was the basis for her insights into the despicable people who live across the Hood Canal? What does she imagine someone from Port Gamble or Kingston would do in our town but not at home? Spit at clerks, cough in the face of waiters, smear saliva on contact surfaces? Dr. Locke said at the start of the meeting that investigations have found no evidence of tourists spreading the virus. What evidence did Dean have to contradict the Public Health Officer?
She just made stuff up. Her imagination supplied an excuse for keeping scores of Jefferson County businesses closed, bleeding red ink, their owners draining the last of their life savings, and their employees on the phone trying to get unemployment benefits from a dysfunctional state agency that only doles out money quickly to Nigerian crooks.
Watch the video of the meeting. Brotherton starts his valiant effort to help our economy at 2:02:59 and makes his motion to open retail at 2:08:3. Dean is the first to speak in opposition and spouts her prejudices and fantasies about people she’s never met.
Dean wasn’t the only local official wigging out at the idea of our stores reopening. Denis Stearns, the citizen-at-large member of the Board of Health, a wealthy semi-retired lawyer, had from the beginning expressed resistance to an “early open.” He’d only “just gotten over being paranoid about going into the Co-op.” He says he sits in the parking lot, counting cars, and won’t enter if he thinks “it is too busy.” So he, what, drives home, comes back in an hour, counts cars, freaks out, drives off, comes back, counts again…..? How many attempts does he make in a day to score some lettuce and cereal?
Stearns spoke sternly against letting retail stores reopen. His frame of reference was always his own “risk tolerance” (to use his words) until condescension and arrogance took over. Unlike Dean and Brotherton, he has no confidence in our local business people. Never mind the small shops that have been operating for two months without spreading the virus, places on Water Street that sell wine, ice cream and candy. Never mind the spacious Quimper Mercantile, closed as a “non-essential” business or the open floor plans in our women’s clothing and shoe stores, or the other stores that are larger than some of the pot shops that have been open since the start of the lock down. He lumped all our downtown retail stores into the “too cramped to operate” category. Why bother? Allowing any of them to even try would be “inviting [them] to fail,” and he did not want to trouble the Board with a “symbolic gesture” of permitting any to reopen.
City Councilor Pam Adams, Vice Chair of the BOH and remarkably unconcerned about the devastation to Port Townsend’s downtown, joined in the chorus drowning out hope for retailers and restaurants. This is not surprising. As we’ve reported over the past months, the Port Townsend City Council hasn’t even talked about helping the city’s struggling businesses. A letter to the BOH from Kris Nelson, the city’s leading restaurant entrepreneur, about the “important lifeline” the restaurant industry provides for many families was found to be “moving,” as several BOH members said. The risk that restaurants may never reopen is very real and will seriously damage the fabric of life here. But, meh, let’s put this off until Kitsap and Clallam Counties get their act together, whenever that may be. Restaurants and retail have already been locked down for over two months. What’s another couple weeks of going broke and being unemployed? Don’t forget, we’re all in this together.
(On a side note, it has to be disconcerting to businesses that their fate is in the hands of two of the key players behind the lamentable Cherry Street Project: Dean, who is a leader of the group that has been bungling the project for 3 years, and Adams, who voted to get taxpayers into the mess.)
County Commissioner David Sullivan stuck his knife in the back of retail and restaurant businesses by also just making stuff up. You can tell he’s motivated by fear, not science. He spouted off about how the COVID virus strikes down children and kills teenagers. The Washington Department of Health has reported not a single death of anyone under age 20 caused in any way by COVID. The overwhelming majority of young people (that is anyone under 60, for this county) experience few or no symptoms and have not required hospitalization. Only 6 people in this county have been hospitalized for any period of time, some for only a night. One individual did require being moved to Harbor View, but has recovered. Six people hospitalized in a county of 32,000, so, yes, by all means, let’s kill small businesses and push people onto welfare.
One fact Mr. Sullivan chose to ignore: with our grocery stores, pot shops, wine store, hardware stores, equipment rentals, and convenience stores open the whole time, Jefferson County still had only 30 COVID diagnoses and nobody died. So why can’t the rest of our stores open to sell clothing, shoes, books, records, yarn, tea, spices, furniture, artwork?
Dean and Sullivan pay no price for keeping businesses shuttered and sputtering. Without interruption they have continued to receive their full pay, over $81,000 annually with great benefits paid by the same taxpayers they are driving toward bankruptcy and homelessness.
Board of Health Chair Sheila Westerman oversaw a meeting that only occasionally stumbled into following Robert’s Rules of Order. I lost track of the number of times she announced, “I’m confused,” “I don’t understand,” or “I am very confused.” She said she was “concerned” how many people in their comments to the BOH wanted to reopen now. Just as she and the majority of the BOH disregarded input from the business community showing overwhelming support for reopening, she disregarded any public comment except ones that fed her own overblown fears of a virus we now know is much less a threat what we were told back in March. We have learned it leaves untroubled 35% of those it infects, results in manageable, frequently minor symptoms for the vast majority of its hosts, and kills almost exclusively the elderly, and then only those with preexisting, severe health conditions that were already life threatening. Out of a state population of nearly 8 million, with 331,000 tested so far, only 20,065 have been diagnosed positive.
Westerman lamented that so many people remained “uneducated” about the virus, when to the contrary, they may have learned more than her.
Not all members of the Board of Health are guilty of malfeasance. We should recognize the compassion and selflessness of Kees Kolff, age 74, who argued for a full move into Phase 2. He argued for allowing the young to get back to their lives and jobs and for the vulnerable to protect themselves instead of forcing the low risk population to continue to sacrifice. “I don’t have to go [to that open restaurant or store] and expose myself,” he said.
And kudos to Brotherton for trying, repeatedly, for common sense moves to lift the lock down order. And, Commissioner Brotherton, thanks for asking the direct question of Dr. Locke that should have been asked as soon as we qualified for an early open. “Is there any evidence that tourists have been spreading the virus?” Unfortunately Dr. Locke’s answer–“There is not””–fell on too many ears deafened by fear.
UPDATE 6/30/2020: A reader in the comments asked us to update the information on how Georgia is doing with its robust reo-open, now several months old. While Georgia is testing thousands more and seeing an increase in positive diagnosis, and a bump in hospitalizations, its death rate continues to drop. This graph shows the latest on Georgia’s seven-day rolling average for deaths. During the time since Georgia reopened it also experienced the riots and protests when thousands of people congregated together, frequently in close quarters and with no social distancing or mask protections. Georgia’s daily case totals and hospitalizations were either flat or declining until about a week after the riots and protests started. The good news, as this graph shows, is that with its robust reopening and the riots and protests, the state’s death rate continues to drop.
The woman driving the shiny black Range Rover let go of the wheel with both hands. She flipped her middle fingers at the young mother standing at the curb with her children and a sign reading, “Let Me Work.” The woman in the Range Rover was about 60, had her windows up and was wearing disposable blue plastic gloves.
This was only one of the many instances where individuals in expensive vehicles gave the finger or shouted “F^^^ You!” through closed windows at people rallying to reopen Jefferson County and holding such offensive signs as “Every Family Counts,” “Everyone Is Essential,” and “My Family Needs To Eat, Too.”
There was that couple in a grey Mercedes, windows rolled up, of course, who pulled their masks down so they could shout obscenities. There was hate and contempt in their eyes and the way they dragged their teeth across their lower lips as they spit out the “F^^^ YOU!” left no doubt what they felt about the working class parents who wanted their jobs back.
I tossed out the idea for the Reopen Jefferson County rally because our local leaders were frittering away our county’s chance to get a jump on reopening many businesses and nobody was doing anything about it. Little did I know that the Jefferson County Washington Facebook page would pick it up and that among its more than 9,000 followers it would reach women half my age who were already engaged in other forms of activism to reopen our state economy.
One of them, Danielle Galmukoff, a Port Townsend businesswoman whose business, essential to her family’s well-being but deemed expendable by the Governor, was instrumental in forming the Reopen Washington State Facebook page. That resource has connected the unemployed, business owners ordered to shut down and bleed red ink, local officials seeing their communities ravaged not by a virus but by the Governor’s actions and medical patients denied critical care because the Governor had injected himself into the doctor-patient relationship. It has served as an organizing tool for rallies across the state. That group, in part started here, now has over 43,000 participants.
What I saw at the Reopen Jefferson County rally on May 19 was not the aging old guard of the Jefferson County GOP–a few were there, but not in any great numbers. I saw a new generation of people awakened to what happens when an unaccountable government steps out of bounds, plays favorites, makes serious errors, abuses its powers and destroys lives and livelihoods.
The Leader reported 50 people in attendance at the time the reporter arrived. The Peninsula Daily News estimated 75. I counted 95 at the peak. Not a lot, except when you consider the pressure in a tight, insular community that keeps many people from ever speaking out. We learned our support was much broader than we expected. Many businesses encouraged the rally, but said they could not be there for fear of retaliation. One business boldly donated coffee, and said we could announce their name. (Thank you, Velocity Coffee). Many people who identify as progressive, Democrat and left-leaning told the young organizers they were with them, but would not be there for fear of blow-back from the small, rather mean, but powerful and relentless gang of enforcers for the ideological and partisan Left in this town.
Those people with masks in their own cars, flipping us off, they were a small minority of passing motorists. It always surprises me when I participate in events like this, where I think I will be in a tiny, endangered minority, only to find that the act of standing up for what is right draws huge support and emboldens others to make their views known.
It was noisy at that corner by McDonald’s. The big rigs blasting loud notes, drivers standing on their horns, people rolling down their windows to shout encouragement. More than a few drivers in public agency and government vehicles gave us thumbs up.
That evening we learned that the businesses community, as they had told us over the phone, was also for reopening Jefferson County. A poll of hundreds of businesses by the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce found that 60% wanted a quick move into the next phase of reopening. The North Hood Canal Chamber of Commerce, which covers the southern part of our county, came back with 87.5% in favor of a quick reopening.
All this time County Commissioner Kate Dean was running around telling officials from other counties and making similar statements in virtual Commission and Board of Health meetings that “the vast majority” of people here were against reopening.
She must have been listening to the older woman in the expensive Range Rover cursing a young working mom for wanting her job back.
The good news is that the county has–finally–applied for a variance from the Governor’s lock down order to allow many businesses to open earlier than the Phase 2 start date for the rest of the state. The bad news is that they spent nearly a month indulging the selfish and unscientific fears of those who don’t need to work and don’t care much about those who do.
The other bad news is that the BOH and County Commission, after dragging out the process so they could hear from “stakeholders”–translated, the businesses hammered by the Governor’s order–dismissed what they were told by those stakeholders and voted to prohibit the reopening of restaurants, in-store retail and other businesses. They have made the further reopening of Jefferson County’s devastated economy contingent on Kitsap and Clallam counties entering Phase 2, either early or with the rest of the state. We have no control over what happens in those counties. Yes, that is crazy, unwise and irresponsible, just another way of kicking the can down the road. But the people driving around with masks, disposable gloves and windows rolled up are happy.
The other good news is that maybe sometime next week, now that the county has finally ended its dithering and submitted its plea to the Governor, more of our businesses will reopen. But at most, because of the county’s delays, we might get just a couple days jump on the rest of the state, now set to move into Phase 2 anyway on June 1.
Who has been informing on their neighbor? An enterprising citizen journalist has enabled a searchable database that answers that question. Allegations of violations of the Governor’s “Stay at Home” and “essential/non-essential” business list have generated thousands of pages of public records that before required hours to review. That task has been made much easier.
The site is Cop Blaster at https://quilcene-wa.copblaster.com/snitches/copcallers/
To do your search type “Snitches” in the first box, “Informants” in the second. “Washington” remains constant for state information. In the fourth box type in the locality, such as Port Townsend or Quilcene. New information is being added as public records requests continue to produce new information. The search results come back with different results occasionally.
Just because someone snitched does not mean they know what they are talking about. The business in question might be essential, the activities being conducted inside might be within the scope of the Governor’s permitted activities list, they may be misinterpreting what they are seeing, they may be acting out of malice, they may be lying.
As far as we can tell, none of these reports amounted to anything other than to generate records now available to the public. Everything in this database comes from material anyone could access with their own public records request.
We searched for “snitches,” “police calls” and “Port Townsend” and got four hits one time, six hits the next. Here is the link to what we found. One of the six hits was actually for a Port Hadlock organization, so we categorized it there:
Christina Roth informed on Vintage Hardware and Lighting, alleging it continued to operate.
Nancee Braddock informed on the gun club, alleging it was allowing shooting.
Anonymous informed on Jefferson County Fairgrounds, alleging concerns with homeless staying there.
Anonymous informed on an unnamed gym, alleging it remained open.
Anonymous informed on Jefferson Healthcare, alleging that “non-essential” departments remained open.
We performed a similar search for Quilcene and got these results:
Joseph Gallant informed on Coast Oyster, alleging their employee parking lot was “as full as ever.”
Terri Naughton informed on Outback Bud Company, alleging it was engaging in construction..
For Port Ludlow, one result: Tom Stevens informed on Port Ludlow Condominiums Number 1, alleging it was continuing with residential construction.
For Port Hadlock we got three results:
Someone named Kachele informed on Enclume Design Products, alleging continuing operations.
Anonymous informed on The United Church, alleging it was holding services.
Anonymous informed on DD Electrical, alleging the business was nonessential and open.
