    COMMENTARY|Help needed to save historic Grange Hall
    November 25, 2015 10:25 am

    When I unlock the door to the Grange hall and show it to potential renters, I always describe it as either the island’s second living room or like the mess hall at summer camp where you drank bug juice. Either way, for the last 10 years, it has been an honor to be a Grange member, rental agent and one of the stewards of this cherished island institution.

    The state’s ferry system is that it is a sort of aging money pit that will require millions of dollars to remain viable, according to multiple people from the Washington State Ferries (WSF), the legislature and islanders. So the question is, is the system worth it?

    From the time they are born, children grow and learn within the context of their relationships. Unable to care for themselves, babies rely on the adults in their world for safety and nurturance.

    October 27, 2015 4:02 pm

    Realizing the community council that fell apart in 2010 was a crucial link between the island and the county, a group of islanders has decided to try to revive that link by creating a replacement. In 2010, the nine-member Vashon-Maury Island Community Council (VMICC) was strong and active, but it met its demise when the members chose to resign amid what some called frivolous public records requests by islander Tom Bangasser.
