Good morning, Port Angeles.

Tuesday afternoon, the Port Angeles Fire Department and police responded to a structure fire on Eighth Street west of C Street — the road remains closed to traffic until further notice.

A Sequim man was sentenced to 20 years in prison Tuesday for attempted murder of his neighbor in 2022 after pleading guilty to a deadly attack driven by a troubled relationship—authorities confirmed the victim survived the shooting.

Port Angeles is hosting its first West by Northwest Mural Festival as five new murals are commissioned to refresh downtown.

Muralists will paint live at The Hub on Friday and Saturday from noon to 2 p.m.—the artworks will be completed by the end of May and then displayed for at least five years.

Olympic Disposal will deploy a computerized camera system in Sequim this month to check recycling bin contents and flag items such as plastic bags and yard waste.

The new system from Prairie Robotics will be used for over 8,000 homes and will send postcards with recycling tips—an effort funded by the state Department of Ecology.

On April 22nd, the City of Port Angeles mailed water customers a notice requiring them to check their properties for lead water pipes using a scratch test - report findings as the EPA Lead and Copper Rule Revisions mandate replacing any detected lead pipes.

The notice explains that the City will replace the segment from the water main to the meter while property owners must replace the pipe from the meter to their home.

The Clallam County assessor’s office in Port Angeles reduced its hours to 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday until May 22 after a staff layoff from 2024 budget cuts.

County Administrator Todd Mielke said the department will soon discuss courthouse hours — the reduced staffing may delay processing exemption applications and affect some April tax bills — officials said.

Sequim will soon have an emergency pet care service when Peninsula Pet Emergency opens on June 6 in the Pacific Northwest Veterinary Hospital on Bell Street — Dr. Amanda Mason will offer care from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
