Good morning, Port Angeles. Here's your local news at a glance for Friday, the 2nd of May.

COMMUNITY NEWS

  • Volunteers will join the fifth annual Big Spring Spruce Up on Saturday to clean up downtown Port Angeles before summer. They will meet at 9 a.m. at the parking lot on Front Street next to Bourbon West and work on pulling weeds, picking up trash, and beautifying key areas — organizers will document the day and note that pressure washing of sidewalks is planned soon.  My Clallam County
  • United Way of Clallam County honored eight individuals, volunteers, and local organizations at its Live United Prom and Awards in Club 7 at the 7 Cedars Casino and Hotel in Sequim. The event raised more than $28,000 — money that will support United Way programs for families and children in the area.  Peninsula Daily News

ACCIDENTS NEWS

  • At 1:49 a.m. Tuesday, Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue extricated one person trapped in a car that hit a tree on Deer Park Road and the injured were taken by Olympic Ambulance to a local hospital before being moved to a trauma center—life flight was not available due to bad weather.  Peninsula Daily News

EDUCATION NEWS

  • At a Wednesday meeting, the Port Angeles School District awarded a $4.6 million contract to Interwest Construction in Carlsborg for earthwork and utilities at the new Stevens Middle School. Fencing at the site may begin as early as next week + the board aims to allocate 40 percent of the work to local businesses.  Peninsula Daily News

GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • Clallam County residents can file for local office during a five-day candidate filing period from May 5 to 5:00 p.m. on May 9. Candidates may file online starting at 8:00 a.m. on May 5 or in person at the county courthouse — mail-in declarations must arrive by 5:00 p.m. on May 9.  My Clallam County
  • A new Washington law signed on May 1 protects people who rescue babies or pets from hot cars from being liable for any damage—savvy rescuers must check that the car is locked, call 911 before entering, use only as much force as needed, and stay nearby until help arrives. The law covers domestic animals and declares that vulnerable persons are children or those unable to care for themselves.  My Clallam County
  • Local seniors held protests outside the Port Angeles Social Security office to warn that staffing cuts and policy changes—such as requiring in-person identity checks—could lead to longer wait times and delays in benefits that many rely on. Honeybee Burns and Janine Blaeloch expressed fears that these changes might force rural residents to drive extra miles for help and risk losing essential income as the trust fund nears insolvency.  Peninsula Daily News
