Good morning, Port Angeles.
Port Angeles will host a city-sponsored forum on the Rayonier Mill site cleanup next Tuesday from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in council chambers at City Hall—environmental experts will present details and answer questions to help build public input on the cleanup plan.
SEQUIM officials said that Clallam Bay/Seiku is under a stage 3 drought alert and Island View is under a stage 4 alert, which restricts outdoor water use and may require a grant-funded truck to bring water by the end of this week — the truck is ready if needed.
They also said low-income residents west of Lake Crescent will receive solar-powered batteries to keep medical devices running during outages.
Port Angeles-based First Fed faces a $106 million lawsuit that accuses the bank of helping in a Ponzi scheme linked to a water vending machine business, with the complaint filed on June 10 in King County Superior Court.
Its CEO resigned on July 12 and a senior executive left on July 2 as revised earnings showed a $9 million loss—actions that come as the bank begins an executive search for a new permanent CEO.
Clallam County now has a special space for dangerous dogs at the Olympic Peninsula Humane Society under a new deal approved Monday—deputies will have up to 20 days to hold a seized dog, paying $4 per day on standby and $49 per day plus medical costs when a dog is placed—and the agreement runs through the end of 2026.
Clallam County put a full outdoor burning ban in place on July 14 because low humidity and extreme heat raised wildfire risks — the ban covers all county-controlled campgrounds and unincorporated areas, stopping campfires, bonfires, trash burning, and more.
