The Port of Port Townsend and Northwest Maritime have been trying to deter at least six male sea lions from taking up residence on dock floats at Union Wharf and Point Hudson. At the recommendation of NOAA Fisheries, they tied an inflatable orca resembling a sea lion predator to a dock. They are currently working on another method that will hopefully get the animals to leave before this weekend’s Race to Alaska events. (Port of Port Townsend)

The 2024 Great Olympic Peninsula Duck Derby Winner(s) plural were John and Sarah Aten of Port Angeles. Their new 2024 Toyota Corolla from Wilder Auto in Ruby Red is a “nice treat” said John Aten. But his wife Sarah will drive it mostly as they have other autos in the family. Every year the family buys the big package for $350 which includes one entry in the VID race and 60 other duck entries in the main race of pluck a duck from a truck. Note that “their” VID duck is labeled JETS. The four letters stand for the four members of their family - John, Elora (a teen), Tim (also a teen) and Sarah. It's their family code, they often use. Sarah said this is all “so cool”. dlogan
