Montesano Chamber of Commerce is hosting an election forum specifically on the three candidates for Grays Harbor Assessors — Rick Hole, Loni Hooper and Dan Lindgren.
The Olympic National Forest is hosting open houses asking the public to share the areas and roads they use on the Forest. This information will help the Forest identify a financially sustainable road system that meets diverse access needs, minimizes environmental harm, and is safe and dependable because it is scaled to available resources.
“Your participation will help us understand your access needs,” said Forest Supervisor Reta Laford. “It would be particularly helpful to know what areas you use on the Forest and what roads you use to get there.”
The open houses will be held around the Olympic Peninsula during the summer of 2014.
In addition to attending open houses, the public may provide comments using the web-based map or on-line questionnaire on the Forest website here. Questionnaires are also available at any Olympic National Forest office. Comments will be taken until August 31, 2014.
Join us for the groundbreaking for the Ocosta Elementary School, the first vertical evacuation tsunami engineered building in North America.
The new Ocosta Elementary School building will be the first building in North America to include the engineering to withstand the effects of earthquakes and tsunami while providing a safe haven for all students, teachers and staff of the school as well as citizens who flee there during tsunami warnings. The school should be completed by late fall of this year.
