Kitsap newspapers have published many letters opposing Kitsap’s involvement in the Puget Sound Regional Council, and few supporting it. As a result, a lot of misinformation is going unanswered. Unfortunately, the role of PSRC is poorly understood.

It seems obvious the United States has a self-imposed energy crisis.
On the same day that Kitsap County Department of Community development was informed by WSDOT that they would not be building a temporary dock in Port Gamble for Environmental concerns, our County Commissioners denied two appeals filed by the S’Kallam Tribe and the Friends of Port Gamble Bay and gave county approval to build a permanent dock on the exact same spot. The WSDOT decision was based on concerns from Department of Natural Resources and Department of Ecology that the bay quality was not suitable to withstand the additional ferry traffic. Information that was available to county commissioners at the time of their decision included a determination by the National Marine Fisheries Service that the proposal is likely to cause impacts to endangered species and habitat. Scientific data showing the presence of toxic sediments at the dock site, concerns documented at the public hearing by the tribe’s biologist that among other impacts, prop wash will re suspend the toxic material from the bottom and settle on the tribes’ shell fish beds and documented history that two boats sank at an illegal dock on the same spot, causing a diesel spill that closed the shell fish beds in Port Gamble Bay.

More comments on graffiti at the Kingston Skate Park
Community members who have signed this letter ask the North Kitsap School District School Board to allocate funds to meet the below listed, prioritized needs of Kingston High School. Funds would be provided by the $1.2 million remaining from the $60 million capital bond passed to fund building of KHS and other district upgrades.
I simply have to add our names to those letting our community know about the wonderful care we can get now at Harrison Medical Center in the heart unit. Doctors Caine and King and their entire staff, including Joann, Michael and Shelly, are the best of the best. My dear husband recently had open heart surgery and he could not have received any more caring, professional medical attention anywhere. I am convinced of that. We also have to mention all of the ICU nurses who were ALWAYS so encouraging and positive. We think they must be angels straight from heaven and we cannot thank them enough. There are not enough words to do so.
