San Juans beckon
Secretary of State Sam Reed continues his farewell-and-thank-you tour of Washington — and his latest destination was the visually stunning San Juan Islands. He flew in a friend’s small plane to Friday Harbor — perfect weather, mountains and sea and islands all around.
Reed was breakfast speaker for the Friday Harbor Rotary, with a message of “civility, moderation and bipartisanship” drawing a standing ovation. Later, San Juan County Auditor Milene Henley introduced Reed to her staff and gave Reed a walking tour of the County Courthouse. Reed, an advocate for community museums, greatly enjoyed a visit to the San Juan County Historical Museum, which includes an old pioneer farmhouse and buildings, including a one-room schoolhouse, that are in mint condition. Guides were Director Kevin Loftus and longtime volunteers. Later, Reed met with county leaders and old friends. The return flight included a bit of (unsuccessful) searching for whale pods.
Next week, the Secretary heads to Mount Vernon, LaConner, South Whidbey, Coupeville and Bellingham.

Let me know when Sam comes out to Pt. Angeles. If he’s available, I’d like to invite him to address the Political Roundtable group that meets at the Pt. Angeles Senior Center every Thursday at 9:30 AM. I’ve been a member of that group for five years after retiring in Sequim.

Thanks, Ed. Good to hear from you! Readers may remember Ed from his distinguished career as a KIRO TV reporter, and he later went into the ministry!
