First Known Cougar Fatalities from Bird Flu in Washington

Two young male cougars in Clallam County, Washington, have died after contracting the bird flu, marking the first known instances of such deaths in the state. Detected in Washington since 2022, the bird flu, or highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1, has infected various mammals and birds, indicating the virus's presence in the local ecosystem. Despite these cougar deaths and a rise in human cases primarily among individuals exposed to infected animals, the CDC states the general risk for the population remains low. People in contact with potentially infected animals are urged to take precautions. This development highlights the importance of monitoring wildlife health as HPAI infections rise in the state.

Peninsula Community Shows Generosity with $58K in Donations

The Peninsula Daily News has mobilized the North Olympic Peninsula community, raising over $58,000 through its annual Peninsula Home Fund campaign, now in its 35th year. This effort, aimed at offering a 'hand up, not a handout,' supports residents in need across Clallam and Jefferson counties. Since its inception in 1989, the fund has amassed more than $4.93 million, directly assisting locals with various needs. A committee recently refined the fund distribution process, promising a more efficient allocation to nonprofits after the New Year under the stewardship of Olympic View Community Foundation. The campaign celebrates the enduring spirit of neighborly compassion, with donations ranging from children’s pennies to substantial checks, all federally tax-deductible.

Thousands of Washingtonians start their day with Good Day Port Angeles

“Reading the newsletter has become a really positive daily habit for me. I read it while drinking my coffee and planning the day. It saves me a ton of time, but it's really enjoyable too. It's great to have the news filtered down to just a handful of critical events everyday that actually matters to me. I also like reading the community profiles. They interview people locally like teachers, politicians, and small business owners. It's hard to find this anywhere else.”

“I'm a senior citizen here in Port Angeles, and this newsletter is like a lifeline. I don't have the attention span these days to read the paper, and Facebook is a mess. This newsletter keeps me informed, without taking the whole day from me.”

“I like how this newsletter keeps me connected with our community. It's great to have a dedicated source that focuses on what's going on locally. So many news companies are focused on huge attention-grabbing national headlines. But, besides the entertainment value, it's not really relevant to my day-to-day. Also it's great the newsletter is free.”

Business Owner

“I'm a parent, and it's apparent how busy that makes me. I LOVE newspapers (especially the smell), but I never have time to read it anymore. So thank god this newsletter exists, and I can read it in a few minutes. If anything is really critical or catches my eye, I can always spend more time reading into each piece of news, but it isn't usually necessary.”
