“In your article about the person in Port Angeles who had received medals and benefits not awarded, it seemed the fellow did receive a proper sentence,” writes Dennis Wojciak of Marysville.
With the high price of gas, many families might be thinking twice about driving down to one of the large Fourth of July celebrations and fireworks displays in the Seattle area. But not to worry, they don’t have to as they have a great Fourth of July Celebration in their own back yards.
I want to thank the Marysville Police Department, Marysville Fire District and the Arlington Fire Department who all provided some very important information this week regarding fireworks safety and the enforcement of the new fireworks law in Marysville.

I was stunned. I read it again. Sure enough, there in the How Your U.S. Lawmaker Voted report put out by Roll Call to the media was a listing of the vote in the third week of May on the 2009 military budget. I had quickly scanned the first part. “By a vote of 384-23, the House on Thursday authorized a $601 billion military budget for fiscal 2009, including $70 billion to fund war in Iraq and Afghanistan for part of the year.”
Hello family and friends, faculty and community members of Darrington’s class of 2008. Today you are here to celebrate a great achievement of the 50 seniors of the class of 2008 here today. Over the past 13 years, you have been allowed or privileged, if I may say so, to watch each and everyone of us grow up and grow into the adults we have become.
Step by step we are working to restore the health of Puget Sound, the rivers and our Pacific coast. We’re working through the Puget Sound Partnership clean-up effort and also implementing the Tribal/State Ocean Ecosystem Initiative — an ecosystem-based approach to management of our Pacific coastal waters — to make this part of the world a healthier place for all of us to call home.
