This is a continuation of a million other responses on the same vein as "there's nothing we can do to help you until someone harms or kills you" and is a pass the buck phrase guaranteed to do nothing. I cannot imagine being a 6-year-old and being afraid to walk down a street for fear of someone taking them and hurting them. That's not what a small town is supposed to be known for. If there is someone in that neighborhood who knows that little boy or the grandmother, I beg of you to take a moment each weekday to walk him to safety away from whomever or whatever would cause him such fear. He's just a small child. Does he have to pay for the council's unwavering compassion for a pedophile?
As for Ms. Miller, I once had great hopes after hearing her speak that she was a community 'change agent'. She is not. For every agency she has been affiliated with I have seen tons of money go by but very, very little improvement to the community. She fits right in with the council of compassion. If you have a home and a job, you're of zero interest to them...except for your taxes.
Mk, or the County Killmissioner's should have a sticker of his picture (with all it's gore of his stapled head) placed on their laptops. Endorse that you guys!
The City of Port Townsend is closing a notorious homeless encampment after repeated fires, dangerous calls, and public safety concerns. Police warned that incidents nearly doubled this year, straining resources. Meanwhile, across the county line, Clallam continues to allow homeless camps, distribute free drug paraphernalia, provide free transportation, and fund permanent luxury “supportive” housing.
THE PINK ELEPHANT IS SITTING RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS!!! The “refugees” are already coming in from Jefferson County and it will get much worse once Port Townsend enforces rules to PROTECT THEIR CITIZENS Yes, they are protecting their citizens, and I pat them on the back for that.
The Commissioners are sitting there, putting their finger in the dike. They were warned about the effects of the MAT clinic. It all came true. They are being warned about the flood of homeless that will descend on us, but they put their fingers in their ears. And when it happens, their fingers will be up their butts. Frankly, it’s extremely frightening.
walk down Lincoln from Safeway to first this morning, looks like some of the PT camp has already relocated to the title company porch. owners of that should be proactive about the activity there it's ridiculous. guy in the high vis shirt with little dog in baby carrier seems to be one directing the foot soilders from there to the bell and Safeway. whereTF is OPNET?

Obviously the rulers- that-be wouldn't take them in and that's a fact. They are overly generous to these people because its not their money they're spending. And again, someone is making money doing a side hustle with taxpayers hard earned money
'They' tell us anything...it means nothing...they are just the nowhere man, living in their nowhere land, making all their nowhere plans, for NOBODY! This is the mentally ill, addicted, psychotic...on the streets and in the 'AGENCIES'. Only truth will set us free!😎
Actually, truth is a sublime notion. In many situations it is replaced by intentions. Good intentions release endorphins inside the brain. Most humans reject freedom because it requires a toll, yet the reward can be tremendous.
Since city officials are acting like KINGS over us little subjects, we should have a NO KINGS protest to remind them who is boss. Take care of the people who pay taxes and are decent citizens- people that go to work everyday, that dont get everything handed to them. In reality we're financing druggies, rapists, child traffickers, & low lifes criminal lifestyle as they continue on the path that THEY'VE CHOSEN. And they have no incentive to change. Politicians are either making money personally on this fiasco or they are just too stupid to be in office. VOTE THEM OUT. When is everone going to realize liberal policies JUST AREN'T WORKING!
I know the Grandmother in this article very well. In every aspect of her life she seeks to build connection and offer support, regardless if it is personal, family, community, or business. In fact I wouldn't have the job I love now if she hadn't been thinking about my needs and the need of a local busisness and helped make that connection. So it is insulting for Miller to imply that this camp is just someone less fortunate and that this Grandmother doesn't care about community, but we see through her virtue signaling and shaming. The grandmas have had enough!
I'm speculating that a grandmother who is raising a grandchild has taken on the responsibility of a parent who cannot. That alone makes her a person who steps up and acts rather than relies on platitudes to sleepwalk through life as Ms. Miller so masterfully does.
not in this case, parents are solid, grandparents are just supportive and involved. But most of us grandmas feel compelled to speak up for ALL the children, don't we?
I have an 88 year old aunt who has raised a grandson and a great grandson...strange world indeed! It wasn't sunshine and roses either...one of them is good to her! Thank goodness for what goodness we get!🤓
I love to read and discuss abstract principles involving ethics and compassion yet most of us Boomers enjoyed watching Paul Kersey kill criminals in New York City.
How many centuries separated the fall of the Roman Empire and the Renaissance? Having attended a Roman Catholic elementary school, I don't trust the biblical records.
Yes, absolutely orchestrated. When watching in person or even viewing photos it's ovious. View the demenor, body positioning - mannerisms. Rather they are paid with money or influenced in some other way - they are out there to be seen. (Not all but ones like our friend in the white van).... Watching a school play with a bunch of 5 year olds. Of course the overal situation is very serious.
I am looking for business owners to get standing for that suit. I do not run a business or own a home…future knowledge… you seem like the kind of person who might just….
I am sure you know that any type of suit that would end up in the hands of a wa state rogue radical judge especially at high end state level where they are owned by you know who that concerns elected libtard officials,and the suit is just a little sketchy and there is just a little wiggle room for a liberal judge to interpret the facts that would save some libtards he will do it in a heart beat.Now a jury suit gives a plaintiff a much better chance.
Its based on all the facts of what they have done. I have the exhibits to prove each allegation. You just need to be in that particular scope of the evidence to have standing. Excavating is one. Casino is the big one. Resort, Hotel or VRBO. Roofing, construction., golf course, hospital, dental, mental.
I supposed I could substitute someone as a tax payer to have standing.
Monopolizing businesses is supposed to be held under control by states but when the monopolizer is a tribe then it is AOK with wa state.Wa state and tribes scratch each other from one end to the other and they like it.The state & tribes can gamble but nobody else can. This is not prejudice it is what the majority of voters wanted according to the state culprits that answer questions about gaming.The more one looks into wa states past involvement with tribes the more corruption and tax $$$ waste one will find.I think any suit having a chance in hell even federal would have to have a proven conservative judge,now you have to ask yourself is this even possible in wa state with so many years of being taken over by corrupt taxaholic radicals.
They can't use federal grants for racial discrimination. There are three Supreme Court rulings on that. Of course the District and Court of Appeals in liberal states will not honor those recent DEI decisions, the high court precedent is in our favor. They did not sign a grant application saying they were going to create a "compensation mechanism"..in other words they lied on the grant and then violated the civil rights language in the grants. It not about the proof, its about the standing.
So typical of elected officials. Their primary duty isnt to fund pet projects and pad their own nests. Their primary resposibility is to.protect citzens from the anti-social among us. While " less fortunite" among us is sometimes true...life does have adversity...most success in life is gotten by hard work and responsibility, not from sitting around waiting for someone else to give pizza parties and the means to take drugs. There needs to be a consequence for anti-social behavior...a cost to the person who chooses not to be a responsible member of the community. That cost must not be a bunch of freebees and being excused because they are less fortunite. The politicians need to.protect little children from thugs, vagrents and dopers...not worm their way out of that resposibility in the name of compassion. Or they need to be thrown out of office because they have ignored their most basic resposibility.
They just have a different perspective on what their jobs are...they 'interpret' and 'translate' our 'desires'...do you need an interpreter/translator for your public desires? Neither do I! Make them resign and sign "no lobby" contracts!
It's OUR TOWN, OUR COUNTY, OUR STATE...or it's NOT!🥸
You get it! You should run for office. What happens to the brains of people once they are in a position to put public safety first? If it costs 1/2 of the budget , that’s what it costs. But anybody reading the two junk papers might already know that CC is low on LE and all it entails.
The inability to obtain housing because of having a record was and is because a choice was made to break the law/s. Arrest and incarceration coupled with public service is my answer. If the homeless cannot find constructive employment, Government can provide a cell with a cot and mandatory public service to pay for that housing. Litter control, street maintenance, general clean up and disposal, maintenance of public facilities and much more with little imagination could be accomplished by the homeless in exchange for minimal housing. No work, no income, no food is the same choice faced by those with homes and for the homeless. Drug addition is also a choice. Denying people the results of their choices is denying them any choice at all.
Totally makes sense! Solves PART of the problem! We don't have a prosecutorial/judiciary/police force to carry it out...guess we'll just have to make some!😎
I used to be a facilities manager for a business right across from goodwill on 6th Street. The issue I ran into with this situation during my time there was is I could only call in to have folks moved along if they were directly in front of the property I managed. I could not call in a move along for the property at 6th and race because at the time that was owned by Chevron. That may be different now. Beyond frustrating when your a business and are trying to protect your customers.
Shuffling them over to the neighbor's is no solution at all!
We need containment camps for them...simple but not easy...costs a lot of money to provide any services for those who can't or won't participate in their own betterment!
But Garry offers a great first step by requiring ACCOUNTABILITY before being housed and fed...or along with being housed and fed...no one is helped by enabling...that wisdom is older than the hills!😎
When some go hunting they put bait out to attract the animals. Perhaps if we eliminated the bait of free drugs, and other things that attract these people we could at least reduce some of the problem.It is a huge problem and hard decisions need to be made.
"Outreach" visits them regularly according to the police chief, so they likely get narcotic use tools delivered curb side. Based on the large number of short visits involving small hand exchanges at this site, I believe they are doing business there. Driving home from my side gig late Wednesday, I observed a line of customers standing in the street waiting for their turn to approach the van window. It is pretty common for dealers to use a "homeless" site as a distributor or stationary "mule" to hold the dope. Here is just one very recent example from the DEA in Seattle where a man was selling CARFENTINIL from his RV and that bust led to his supplier. But here the council would rather give them housing than address the deadly drug trafficking https://www.dea.gov/press-releases/2025/09/24/warning-thousands-counterfeit-m30-pills-containing-carfentanil-seized
Bingo! What average person doesn’t see that as the gate to elimination? Get rid of the hand-outs (drug use support) or if you drank the Kool Aid, Harm Reduction paraphernalia. We have this image that Clallam County is so out of the way, no one gets in trouble? Why, bc we announce it all the time.
But we’d have to have more law enforcement. Why don’t we put all our resources in to law enforcement? I would be glad to highlight areas that could be eliminated on a spread sheet. Since no one else in the county can/will.
Asking nicely of your 'master' leaves it entirely up to the 'masters' discretion.
What leverage do we have? They have defunded the police...defunding Them is the only peaceful choice...demands can be made when the funds are withheld!
They have to capitulate when they can't move forward. No idea how that might happen but anything is possible!😎
Councilmember Miller's bio says it all, and her response to her constituent is 100% inline with it. To not have at a minimum tied the complainant in with the PD is malfeasance. Had the complaint been that people are packing up and making it uncomfortable for these urban nomads to be where they are would Miller have responded similarly or would she have gotten involved and made contact with the PD?
Additionally, she is part of the progressive control bloc, initially appointed to her position. This is an effective tactic being used to control city councils, and other public boards (hospital district, school boards).
"Amy Miller, Council member
Amy is from Upstate New York where she completed her degree programs. Her Social Work (MSW) career of over 20 years shows a breadth of expertise such as working within systems in economically disadvantaged urban areas, inpatient treatment as an Addiction Specialist, and Behavioral Health Crisis Responder work with New York State Psychiatric Emergency Department. In Colorado, Amy was the only Social Worker in an innovative jail-based competency restoration program, since moving to the Olympic Peninsula Amy worked as a Designated Crisis Responder before developing and implementing REdisCOVERY, the Port Angeles Mental Health Field Response program .This program brought her into the Port Angeles Police Department to respond cooperatively to behavioral health crises to resolve crises using the least restrictive treatment options available.
Amy and her husband Matt became engaged on the Olympic Discovery Trail, during their first trip to Port Angeles! After they were married and living in Port Angeles they went to work joining the community. Matt opened his financial planning practice, and Amy worked in the existing behavioral health response system. The couple started attending Council Meetings and made date night of it ever since.
Amy is proud to serve and believes she offers a unique perspective to local government. She has served on the Behavioral Health Advisory Board for Clallam County for numerous years and was awarded Citizen of the Year by the Chamber of Commerce in 2018. She initiated the Shelter Challenge where several elected officials in Clallam County participated, bringing hard conversations to the public and demonstrating her commitment to advocating for her neighbors in the local community.
Council Position # 2 Appointed 2023
Council Position #5 Elected and serving January 2024 to December 2027"
This was really well said, well written. You captured the nature of the problem well. I don't live in PA, but I share similar feelings with that Grandma. I get so tired of the dismissal, the shaming, the endless ideology coming from so much of our political leadership.
Right on the money, but it's a shame that it has come to feeliing this way because of the ineptitude of our so called civic leaders, and I use that term very loosely!
There is only a kernel of truth to it after what they did with COVID. The Democrats think there are too many people on the planet and promote the cull. Its not outside the possibility they are intentionally instituting a cull in the box program.
LOL which group should be culled? We Boomers are fairly wealthy. When we are gone what element will provide a tax base equal to ours? We allowed neighborhoods to become ruined so that our own became more valuable. I love peace love and granola.
All the boomers should take that cash under your Serta and put it in a family trust. Or buy gold coins when it gets back to below $1000 an ounce.💰😄🤷♀️
All done with the frog-in-the-pot patience! If they kill us off slowly, in batches, we'll barely notice..much more profitable to do it slowly as well...more EVERYTHING we have to pay for on the way out!😎
The woman should contact Commisdioner Ozias who acts immediately to complaints and there doesn’t have to be any evidence of a crime. Ozias will send emails to the sheriff immediately and he does follow-ups. Ozias did it when Eberly said a gate was damaged immediately Commissioner Tozzer was investigated. Ozias immediately recommended guards for Comissioner Stoffer because a person exposed him during public comment at a county meeting. So contact Ozias he’s your man. Old people & children are our most venerable citizens & they should expect to feel safe walking city streets.
Why does Amy Miller side with Robert Allen Keith? She needs to be pushed on that question with many follow-up questions. No slack and pull the rope tighter until she gives a truthful answer. As with every taxpaying, law-abiding citizen, I am tired of living in a place that deals with heinous crimes while leadership says, "As long as it doesn't happen to me, I don't have to care about you." Hopefully, at Tuesday's BoCC meeting, French will have the monthly Q & A period. Our current status as a criminals safe haven is over.
Jefferson County compared to Clallam County. Read the article and decide what county is facing the real issues that most concern it’s citizens. Hint: It’s not Clallam County.
PDN Oct 25, 2025 EYE ON THE PENINSULA: Jefferson board to host encampment policy workshop. Meetings across the North Olympic Peninsula
Code enforcement, encampment policy and the impact of the federal government shutdown on county programs will be before Peninsula boards and commissions next week.
Jefferson County commissioners
The three Jefferson County commissioners will conduct a workshop REGARDING ENCAMPMENT POLICY with Ariel Speser, civil deputy prosecuting attorney, when they meet at 9 a.m. Monday.
Clallam County Commissioners
The three Clallam County commissioners will hear AN UPDATE ON CODE ENFORCEMENT from Bruce Emery and Diane Harvey during their weekly work session Monday.
At first glance, the code enforcement presentation by Emery coming up during Monday’s work session seems to have a large emphasis on code enforcement and fines for property and homeowners, but not so much for illegal camping.
Clallam now has 1.5 full-time employees searching for code violations to penalize. I’m sure they will be using the Assessor’s EagleView surveillance technology on the citizens.
Susie, I think it's easier to go after property owners and licensed vehicles because they can easily fine them. Dope dealers are harder. The police would have more power and authority (arrest them!) but our leaders don't give them any sort of incentive or "go ahead" Hands off the homeless. It's definitely a powder keg county we live in. Remember when being caught with pot could get one a few years in prison? It's a drug free-for-all now.
"you are required to have a septic system (or a permitted connection to a sewer) to live in an RV on private property in Sequim, as both gray and black water are considered waste and require proper disposal. Washington law considers all wastewater from RV plumbing to be sewage"
Oh, I see, just go crap on the sidewalk or someone's pretty lawn. Maybe a dog owner will come by and pick it up...
'Tax the rich, feed the poor, til there are no rich no more'...but first tax the poor and feed the rich and put society in the ditch, with Allison Berry the medical witch. 🧙♀️
Jacob, thank you, that's what I thought. Does the 1.5 full-time employees mean just one and a half people, or is it people per ratio to the population?
This is a continuation of a million other responses on the same vein as "there's nothing we can do to help you until someone harms or kills you" and is a pass the buck phrase guaranteed to do nothing. I cannot imagine being a 6-year-old and being afraid to walk down a street for fear of someone taking them and hurting them. That's not what a small town is supposed to be known for. If there is someone in that neighborhood who knows that little boy or the grandmother, I beg of you to take a moment each weekday to walk him to safety away from whomever or whatever would cause him such fear.

If you have a home and a job, you're of zero interest to them...except for your taxes.
Excellent excellent comment Teri.
If the current group isn't getting it done, replace with the next mindset. It's the essence of true diversity, the mind.
Mk, or the County Killmissioner's should have a sticker of his picture (with all it's gore of his stapled head) placed on their laptops. Endorse that you guys!

What will get their attention? What will make a difference?
What will cause them to resign?
Has anyone done a background check on any of the 3 killommissars?
Are there any incentives to motivate them to vacate the office?
Break on through to the other side!😎
The compassionate thing is to 'put them down', as we would a beloved pet who can no longer function!😎
A pet does offer value to its master. How many of our "compassionate" citizens would adopt a vagrant?

These are some of the reasons port Angeles citizens need to vote in Mimi Smith-Dvorak and James Taylor
These are some of the reasons good citizens turn into vigilantes!
I love to read and discuss abstract principles involving ethics and compassion yet most of us Boomers enjoyed watching Paul Kersey kill criminals in New York City.
That might be an example of the self-fulfilling fantasy. The government body causes an event that it wishes to prevent.
Or maybe it doesnt if they're making money off it!
After the fictional Paul Kersey pursued a killing spree crime dropped inside New York City. That meant government must reduce the work force.
Remember the subway vigilante in NY?.....crime rate plummeted!
History proves!😎
History is completely distorted by various writers. I now no longer trust accounts about the dark ages.
How many centuries separated the fall of the Roman Empire and the Renaissance? Having attended a Roman Catholic elementary school, I don't trust the biblical records.
Chris, I back you on that 200%
They have a plan. Government dependence. Notice they never solve the problem. They want the NGO laundering opportunity.
John you couldn’t be more spot on.
Perfectly stated, John!

I did read something about a chain gang that was on litter patrol when I was looking up jail info.
Yellow vests that say
“I will not steal”
“I will not drive drunk”
Or whatever crime?
When some go hunting they put bait out to attract the animals. Perhaps if we eliminated the bait of free drugs, and other things that attract these people we could at least reduce some of the problem.It is a huge problem and hard decisions need to be made.
"Outreach" visits them regularly according to the police chief, so they likely get narcotic use tools delivered curb side. Based on the large number of short visits involving small hand exchanges at this site, I believe they are doing business there. Driving home from my side gig late Wednesday, I observed a line of customers standing in the street waiting for their turn to approach the van window. It is pretty common for dealers to use a "homeless" site as a distributor or stationary "mule" to hold the dope. Here is just one very recent example from the DEA in Seattle where a man was selling CARFENTINIL from his RV and that bust led to his supplier. But here the council would rather give them housing than address the deadly drug trafficking https://www.dea.gov/press-releases/2025/09/24/warning-thousands-counterfeit-m30-pills-containing-carfentanil-seized
Our entire culture is dying, not just the OD'ers!😎
Evolution is painful. Have you noticed that without a pesticide the ugly weeds will prevail over your attractive lawn?
Very interesting read. That’s the thing though isn’t it, illegal drug makers never have to see these customers again, so no real downside for them!
Bingo! What average person doesn’t see that as the gate to elimination? Get rid of the hand-outs (drug use support) or if you drank the Kool Aid, Harm Reduction paraphernalia. We have this image that Clallam County is so out of the way, no one gets in trouble? Why, bc we announce it all the time.
But we’d have to have more law enforcement. Why don’t we put all our resources in to law enforcement? I would be glad to highlight areas that could be eliminated on a spread sheet. Since no one else in the county can/will.
Hey JKT, could you help us out please?
Roses are red
The tribe grass is green
You can use drugs here
By the court house it’s seen!
I don't think the tribe possesses a long-range vision. LOL this property does not contain fossil fuels.
Asking nicely of your 'master' leaves it entirely up to the 'masters' discretion.
What leverage do we have? They have defunded the police...defunding Them is the only peaceful choice...demands can be made when the funds are withheld!
They have to capitulate when they can't move forward. No idea how that might happen but anything is possible!😎
Once we defund the police we might discover that a group of armed citizens might become a better crime deterrent.
Philosophically if vigilante mobs were allowed to operate would fascists governments ever exist?
The longer it goes the HARDER the decisions Will be!😎
Councilmember Miller's bio says it all, and her response to her constituent is 100% inline with it. To not have at a minimum tied the complainant in with the PD is malfeasance. Had the complaint been that people are packing up and making it uncomfortable for these urban nomads to be where they are would Miller have responded similarly or would she have gotten involved and made contact with the PD?
Additionally, she is part of the progressive control bloc, initially appointed to her position. This is an effective tactic being used to control city councils, and other public boards (hospital district, school boards).
"Amy Miller, Council member
Amy is from Upstate New York where she completed her degree programs. Her Social Work (MSW) career of over 20 years shows a breadth of expertise such as working within systems in economically disadvantaged urban areas, inpatient treatment as an Addiction Specialist, and Behavioral Health Crisis Responder work with New York State Psychiatric Emergency Department. In Colorado, Amy was the only Social Worker in an innovative jail-based competency restoration program, since moving to the Olympic Peninsula Amy worked as a Designated Crisis Responder before developing and implementing REdisCOVERY, the Port Angeles Mental Health Field Response program .This program brought her into the Port Angeles Police Department to respond cooperatively to behavioral health crises to resolve crises using the least restrictive treatment options available.
Amy and her husband Matt became engaged on the Olympic Discovery Trail, during their first trip to Port Angeles! After they were married and living in Port Angeles they went to work joining the community. Matt opened his financial planning practice, and Amy worked in the existing behavioral health response system. The couple started attending Council Meetings and made date night of it ever since.
Amy is proud to serve and believes she offers a unique perspective to local government. She has served on the Behavioral Health Advisory Board for Clallam County for numerous years and was awarded Citizen of the Year by the Chamber of Commerce in 2018. She initiated the Shelter Challenge where several elected officials in Clallam County participated, bringing hard conversations to the public and demonstrating her commitment to advocating for her neighbors in the local community.
Council Position # 2 Appointed 2023
Council Position #5 Elected and serving January 2024 to December 2027"
Wow. Her bio is quite impressive. She should write a book. I'm sure her favorite constituents could use the paper to wipe their butts or roll a joint.
It's clear that she's on a mission, and public safety isn't it.
There must be a commune in New York where they grow these mushrooms. She reminds me of Katie Wilson the wannabe Seattle mayor.
Reduce, reuse, recycle!🤣
Lloyd very descriptive metaphor.
ISN'T THAT PRECIOUS!🙄 No prob reading between those lines!😱
This was really well said, well written. You captured the nature of the problem well. I don't live in PA, but I share similar feelings with that Grandma. I get so tired of the dismissal, the shaming, the endless ideology coming from so much of our political leadership.
Ideology smothers reality!😎
There's the Smatterchews and the Nutinyucando's.
We re-open the institutions or give them access to boofing kits and hope somebody is a step slow with the Narcan.
Right on the money, but it's a shame that it has come to feeliing this way because of the ineptitude of our so called civic leaders, and I use that term very loosely!
There is only a kernel of truth to it after what they did with COVID. The Democrats think there are too many people on the planet and promote the cull. Its not outside the possibility they are intentionally instituting a cull in the box program.
LOL which group should be culled? We Boomers are fairly wealthy. When we are gone what element will provide a tax base equal to ours? We allowed neighborhoods to become ruined so that our own became more valuable. I love peace love and granola.
We wanted the war machine whether or not we wanted the war machine..
All the boomers should take that cash under your Serta and put it in a family trust. Or buy gold coins when it gets back to below $1000 an ounce.💰😄🤷♀️
All done with the frog-in-the-pot patience! If they kill us off slowly, in batches, we'll barely notice..much more profitable to do it slowly as well...more EVERYTHING we have to pay for on the way out!😎
Communist 'infiltraitors' is more direct!🙂
I'll take their Narcan if I can!😂 I heard it clears the sinuses!🤪I might try boofing Narcan...you never know...and it's "FREE"!🆓
Mimi Smith-Dvorak and James Taylor need your vote! Our only hope for change.
That or a laser from the Mothership...or a comet!☄️😊
The woman should contact Commisdioner Ozias who acts immediately to complaints and there doesn’t have to be any evidence of a crime. Ozias will send emails to the sheriff immediately and he does follow-ups. Ozias did it when Eberly said a gate was damaged immediately Commissioner Tozzer was investigated. Ozias immediately recommended guards for Comissioner Stoffer because a person exposed him during public comment at a county meeting. So contact Ozias he’s your man. Old people & children are our most venerable citizens & they should expect to feel safe walking city streets.
Sorry, it's a special club, and we're not in it!🤓
Why does Amy Miller side with Robert Allen Keith? She needs to be pushed on that question with many follow-up questions. No slack and pull the rope tighter until she gives a truthful answer. As with every taxpaying, law-abiding citizen, I am tired of living in a place that deals with heinous crimes while leadership says, "As long as it doesn't happen to me, I don't have to care about you." Hopefully, at Tuesday's BoCC meeting, French will have the monthly Q & A period. Our current status as a criminals safe haven is over.
You can't reason or use logic on the insane, sorry! Dead-end street.
Can't see problem when paycheck depends on not seeing problem!🤪
Jefferson County compared to Clallam County. Read the article and decide what county is facing the real issues that most concern it’s citizens. Hint: It’s not Clallam County.

PDN Oct 25, 2025 EYE ON THE PENINSULA: Jefferson board to host encampment policy workshop. Meetings across the North Olympic Peninsula
Code enforcement, encampment policy and the impact of the federal government shutdown on county programs will be before Peninsula boards and commissions next week.
Jefferson County commissioners
The three Jefferson County commissioners will conduct a workshop REGARDING ENCAMPMENT POLICY with Ariel Speser, civil deputy prosecuting attorney, when they meet at 9 a.m. Monday.
Clallam County Commissioners
The three Clallam County commissioners will hear AN UPDATE ON CODE ENFORCEMENT from Bruce Emery and Diane Harvey during their weekly work session Monday.
Jennifer,
At first glance, the code enforcement presentation by Emery coming up during Monday’s work session seems to have a large emphasis on code enforcement and fines for property and homeowners, but not so much for illegal camping.
Clallam now has 1.5 full-time employees searching for code violations to penalize. I’m sure they will be using the Assessor’s EagleView surveillance technology on the citizens.
they don't want property owners living in RVs on private land, but a perv or a dope dealer in an unlicensced RV on the public roadway is hunky dory
Susie, I think it's easier to go after property owners and licensed vehicles because they can easily fine them. Dope dealers are harder. The police would have more power and authority (arrest them!) but our leaders don't give them any sort of incentive or "go ahead" Hands off the homeless. It's definitely a powder keg county we live in. Remember when being caught with pot could get one a few years in prison? It's a drug free-for-all now.
Drugs and violence are the new peace and quiet. '1984' 😱
"you are required to have a septic system (or a permitted connection to a sewer) to live in an RV on private property in Sequim, as both gray and black water are considered waste and require proper disposal. Washington law considers all wastewater from RV plumbing to be sewage"
Oh, I see, just go crap on the sidewalk or someone's pretty lawn. Maybe a dog owner will come by and pick it up...
'Tax the rich, feed the poor, til there are no rich no more'...but first tax the poor and feed the rich and put society in the ditch, with Allison Berry the medical witch. 🧙♀️
Inverted, Subverted, Perverted...now who or what would do a thing like that?🤓
Jacob, thank you, that's what I thought. Does the 1.5 full-time employees mean just one and a half people, or is it people per ratio to the population?
One full-time employee, one half-time.
EVERYTHING has been inverted in case anyone is wondering!?🤔
Time to move them ourselves.
Yes, I know…
I know..
When push comes to shove.
