A Busy Month Ahead 
 
Island County is famously busy during the summer. This month holds true. Below are just a few of the items coming this June.
Community Celebration Today

A quick reminder that the community celebration is planned today for Washington State's newest ferry. The M/V Tokitae was partially built by Nichols Brothers Boat Builders of Freeland and will service the Clinton to Mukilteo route. The event runs from 12:00 pm to 2:30 pm and includes a tribal ceremony, tours of the pilot house and refreshments.

What would you like asked of the interim Commissioner candidates? Interviews have been scheduled and we welcome your suggested questions. There will not be time for questions from the public, so please submit your questions to [email protected] in advance.

There are two public interviews scheduled. The first is at Four Springs House on Camano Island at 6:00 pm June 17th; the second is at the Commissioners Hearing Room in Coupeville on June 24th at 6:00 pm.

The interview on the 24th will be followed by an executive session to consider the qualifications of each candidate before resuming the public meeting to vote on the appointment.

Many thanks to all the folks who attended my recent Coffee with the Commissioner gathering at Bayview Farm and Garden. About 20 or us engaged in a lively and meaningful exchange of ideas and information. My appreciation goes to the crew at Bayview Farm and Garden's beautiful cafe for being such gracious hosts. Please watch this space for information about the next opportunity to get together and talk about County issues of interest to you.
