from Kristen Sierra…

Yesterday we rethought the whole web based matchup of volunteers with those who will need help. We think this could be a bad choice for our specific community.
> That system is being used by other Hubs, with success although none of those communities are like this one.
> I am happy to say that we do have a simple and straightforward way to accomplish our plan to help those in need.
> If you are in need of assistance call:

> Kristen Sierra 206-890–5756
> Or
> Teddie Ellrod 253-350-7829
>
> We will then contact one or more of our Volunteers to lend a helping
> hand.
>
> The volunteers will then let us know how it went. We will add the person to our daily log of people to contact. Daily calls will be made by either Teddie or I.

> Problems will be handled by our project team.

Ban on Copper Bottom Paint Postponed

Posted on by

The restrictions on the use of copper-based antifouling paint on recreational vessels have been delayed until January 1, 2026.

Senate Bill 6210 has just passed the House and Senate and is on the Governor’s desk to sign.  The WA. St. Dept. of Ecology has recommended delaying the antifouling paint restrictions to allow time for further study, due to concerns some non-copper alternatives might be more harmful to the environment than the copper-based paints they replace.
