Kickoff of the Centennial year of Women's Suffrage and the formation of the League of Women Voters occurred at this reception on June 6. It was a fun and inspiring evening. Nancy Pearson and Larry Seaquist were honored with the Good Citizen award by the League of Women Voters of WA.

At the raffle drawing, Sunday, June 9, 2019, the following person's ticket was drawn and will receive the Centennial quilt:

Sandra Herndon, ticket # 100296.

2019 is the year for municipal elections: city, school district, fire district, and Port elected officials.

It is just as important to vote for these races as for the state and national races that occur every four years. Here's why: decisions made by cities and special purpose districts affect our day to day lives in so many ways.

Encourage everyone you know to vote in the Primary Election on August 6 and the General Election on November 5.
