Good morning, Port Angeles.

A Forks man, 33-year-old Tyler D.

Ness, was fatally struck by a falling tree while working at a remote logging site south of Clallam Bay on May 9 at 6:30 a.m.—emergency crews from Clallam and Quileute agencies responded but he died during transport to a hospital in Port Angeles.

Sequim Police arrested a 57 year old man named Dale Jaff on May 9 at his home after more than a month of investigation following the April 9 Kitsap Bank robbery — he now faces charges for robbery in the first degree, assault in the second degree and theft in the second degree.

Clallam County Superior Court Judge Elizabeth Stanley issued a 14-day order on May 9 to halt logging on two state-managed forest parcels near the Elwha River after the Legacy Forest Defense Coalition argued that ongoing roadwork by Oregon-based Murphy Company could cause irreparable harm. Environmental protesters set up a blockade that may delay the mountain bike race planned for May 16 — the Dry Hill Recreation Area was closed for safety.

Filing week ended with contested races for 12 offices in Clallam County and 10 in Jefferson County — anyone wishing to withdraw must file by close of business Monday as the August 5 primary will decide which candidates advance.

The City of Port Angeles will begin paving work on 8th Street from next Monday to Wednesday — crews will work nightly from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. — and posted signs will direct traffic while residents use Cedar and Pine streets for access.

Preliminary figures show Olympic Medical Center lost $10.3 million in 2024—an improvement over nearly $26 million in losses last year—according to a draft report presented to the board Wednesday.

CFO Lorraine Cannon said delays from a new management system are being fixed and the board will complete first-quarter figures soon while exploring a switch to critical access hospital status that may require closing the Sequim campus.

The Port Angeles Roughriders will host a district playoff game Monday at Civic Field at 4 p.m. against the Eatonville Cruisers in a loser-out match, with a win sending them to face Steilacoom on Tuesday.

The Peninsula Pirates added guard Madison Smith from Las Vegas—while former Roughrider Millie Long earned an extra NCAA eligibility year and will announce her new school on May 15 at 1:30 p.m.
