Itemized List of Proposed Tourism Promotion Services In the following space or on a separate sheet of paper, please specify each proposed tourism promotion, program, facility, event or activity, including quantities and costs (see examples at bottom of page). Item Budget Trail Ambassador program in Jefferson County – This includes funding for a Lead Ambassador, Field Ambassadors, supplies and equipment, and contractors to process the survey data and support the program. $10,000 Updating and Reprinting of Maps – With work this year extending the trail to Anderson Lake State Park, the following maps will be updated as needed and reprinted: Eastern Olympic Peninsula Cycling Map $4,000 East Region ODT Map $1,600 Jefferson Transit Map $700 Hall Baetz Viewpoint Phase 3 – – Thanks to 2025 LTAC funding from Jefferson County, a lot of work was accomplished in 2025. In 2026, we need funding for roofing (a final metal layer to be installed). $7,000 Pyro Nano Eco-counters – These mobile eco-counters can be moved throughout the trail and have been very useful in Clallam County. In 2025, we will purchase a pack of 3 eco-counters for use in Jefferson County. $4,000 Sanicans - We cover the cost of 5 ADA-compliant sanicans. Sanicans are a critical tourism -related facility throughout the trail system. This is a public health and safety dimension of the experience, and a distinct need of the ODT. $15,600 Trail maintenance and improvements Purchase of equipment, including weed whackers $2,500 Rental of maintenance equipment, and rental of storage space for equipment $3,600 Supplementing Jefferson Public Works maintenance of the trail, mainly including resurfacing of the trail in two sections (each will cost around $21,000) $42,000 Total $91,000 RECEIVED 09/10/25 Page 4 of 67 5 | P a g e 2. Proposal Questions 1. Tell us about your promotion, program, facility, event or activity and why you think it will increase tourists traveling to and staying in Jefferson County. Include a general description of the promotion, program, facility, event or activity including its purpose, history, etc. The Trail Ambassador Program: Since 2023, Trail Ambassadors have greeted thousands of visitors. Trail Ambassadors function as a mobile visitor center , enhancing the overall experience for those trail users encountered, as well as identifying trail conditions warranting our attention and giving us additional capability to provide a PTC presence at events. Trail Ambassadors distribute a diverse range of maps that go beyond recreation information by including a wealth of helpful resources for tourists with lin ks to lodging, dining and shopping options. Maps: The Peninsula Trails Coalition takes pride in producing and offering a diverse range of maps to ensure visitors can discover and use the Larry Scott and Olympic Discovery Trail with confidence and safety. While it is undeniable that electronic apps have simplified navigation (though maybe only for certain demographics), a valuable lesson we have learned from our Ambassador Program is the enduring popularity of paper maps, especially for visitors from out of the area. Many of the maps we distribute will need to be updated to factor in the expansion o f the trail where it connects to Anderson Lake State Park. We also distribute so many maps that they have to be printed every year or so, and in 2026, we need to update and print the Eastern Olympic Peninsula Cycling Map, the East Region ODT Map, and the Jefferson Transit Map. Eco-Counters: Additionally, we request funding to purchase three mobile Eco-Counters that can be moved to various locations to have a better sense of trail usage in areas without any permanent Eco-Counters in Jefferson County at this time. A permanent eco -counter will be placed near Four Corners Road. The increased knowledge of usage based on the Eco-Counters data will ensure a variety of trail -related capabilities and amenities are calibrated to actual trail usage—both in numbers of users and location of users. With this data, we might choose to have sanicans serviced more frequently or install picnic tables or benches. Hall Baetz Viewpoint: The Hall Baetz Viewpoint, located at the junction of Highway 20 and 101 and overlooking Discovery Bay offers a primary engagement point for tourists visiting East Jefferson County. This new scenic viewpoint will increase tourism by capitalizing on the visual appeal, diversifying tourism offerings, enhancing the infrastructure associated with the ODT, and can be enjoyed year-round, making it a valuable tourism asset for Jefferson Coun ty. In 2026, we plan to install a 3rd layer of metal roofing on the log structure, and are requesting $7,000 to do so. Sanicans: We request funding to cover the cost of all five ADA-compliant sanicans along the ODT in the County, which inherently contribute to a positive visitor experience. Trail maintenance: Trail maintenance and resurfacing as needed is critical to a positive visitor experience. This grant request includes funding for the purchase of equipment, as well as the brental of equipment and storage space for equipment. Additionally, Jefferson County Public Works is aware of two areas of the trail needing resurfacing. The enclosed letter of support from Jefferson County Public Works Director Eric Kuzma provides further details . RECEIVED 09/10/25 Page 5 of 67 6 | P a g e 2. If this is a continuing or reoccurring promotion, program, facility or event, describe your organization’s prior activities . If applicable, how is it different than in the past? The Trail Ambassador Program: This program was initiated in 2023. Every year, we implement improvements. In 2024, using iPads increased the efficiency of input of survey data. In 2025 we hired more ambassadors than in past years. At this time, no changes are planned for 2026. Maps: This grant request includes the cost of updating and printing three of our maps, updates that are necessary due to the exciting expansion of the trail to connect with Anderson Lake State Park. As this grant is being written, the trail is being extended 3.5 miles to connect all the way through Anderson Lake State Park to Anderson Lake Road from the Port of Port Townsend. This is being done in partnership with Jefferson County and Washington State Parks. Eco-Counters: Last year was the first year we employed the use of pyro nano eco-counter s in Clallam County, and we hope to employ them in Jefferson County this year. They are mobile and perfect for counting users in natural environments , and are super discreet, waterproof, durable, and easy to install. These will be useful to assess use along portions of the trail where a permanent eco-counter is not in place, which will likely include Anderson Lake State Park, Discovery Bay, and the Port of Port Townsend. Hall Baetz Viewpoint: Work on this viewpoint was funded by LTAC in 2025. That includes some revegetation of the site, fencing, safety features, and signage. Next year, a final layer of metal roofing will be attached to the layers of roofing being installed this year. This viewpoint is the first of its kind along the ODT. The Peninsula Trails Coalition has been spearheading the development of this trail -oriented facility the Hall Baetz Viewpoint because the viewpoint will become a key locus for two trails currently under development - 1) the Hood Canal Bridge to Olympic Discovery Trail connector and 2) the Olympic Discovery Trail (and co - located Pacific Northwest National Sc enic Trail) section from Four Corners through Eaglemount to Discovery Bay which will move trail use rs off Highway 20. The Viewpoint will consist of a rustic log shelter building, parking for 8 -10 cars, a bathroom facility, and water & electrical service. Sanicans: Sanicans have historically been provided by Jefferson County, but PTC took on this responsibility in 2025, installed sanicans at 2 new locations, and now all are ADA-compliant. No new sanican locations are planned for 2026, and we plan to continue to cover the cost of all 5 sanicans, hopefully with the assistance of LTAC. Sanicans are located at the Port of Port Townsend Trailhead, Trailhead Park in Cape George, the Milo Curry Trailhead, the South Discovery Bay trail segment, and along Old Gardiner Road at Contractors Creek in Gardiner. Trail maintenance: We know that use of the trail increases every year, and so do maintenance costs. This year, there’s a need for resurfacing 2 portions of the trail, and Jefferson County Public Works has graciously agreed to do the work if we can secure funding. The enclosed letter of support from Jefferson County Public Works Director Eric Kuzma provides further details. Additionally, there are increased costs of equipment and storage of equipment , which have been factored into this grant request. RECEIVED 09/10/25 Page 6 of 67 7 | P a g e 3. How does your promotion, program, facility or event support one of the Highest Priorities or Additional Considerations listed below under “Other Criteria” (see page 9)? Every request in this grant proposal enhances the visitor experience of the ODT , which is already one of the destinations that draws people to Jefferson County. Since PTC’s inception 37 years ago, we have helped with the development of this destination. Approximately 90 to 92 miles of the 135-mile Olympic Discovery Trail (ODT) have been constructed as a designated multi -use path, with the remainder of the route being on public roads. This is not including the approximately 3.5 miles being added to the trail this year so it connects with Anderson Lake State Park. The ODT, including the Larry Scott segment, creates an outdoor recreation and active transportation backbone for the North Olympic Peninsula attracting day users who shop and dine locally, running and biking event participants who bring along family/friends who shop, dine and stay overnight in campg rounds and other lodging, and long distance travelers who use the entire 135-mile route of the trail, visit county and state parks, the Olympic NP, shop, dine, and stay multiple nights. The ODT is often the primary reason people visit the area. The ODT can be used year-round, and is used by walkers, runners, ADA wheeled users, bikers and e-bikers. They are also popular as an outdoor recreational facility for organized walks, runs and bike rides, and provides the infrastructure for event promoters to develop trail -based events. Trail -based events are year-round. With the new expanded infrastructure to Anderson Lake State Park, there will likely be more. 4. Describe how you intend to market/promote your promotion, program, facility, event or activity to potential tourists who reside outside Jefferson County or traveling more than 50 miles . a. If an event, the date of the event: N/A b. The timeline for the tourism promotion activity you are proposing (e.g. May through July, 226). Year-round c. Target Audience Visitors from 50+ miles away d. Promotion methods you intend to use to reach the target audience. Social media, trails magazines, and trail stories on social media. Social media engagement has played a pivotal role in our efforts to attract potential visitors and engage with repeat visitors. We continue to collaborate with social marketing media profes sionals, which has resulted in a broadening of our reach. RECEIVED 09/10/25 Page 7 of 67 8 | P a g e e. Describe how you will promote overnight stays at Jefferson County lodging establishments. Working with visitor centers, businesses and lodging close to trail to promote trail, social media stories emphasizing multi -day itineraries. Additionally, Trail Ambassadors distribute a diverse range of maps that go beyond recreation information by includ ing QR codes which direct visitors to a wealth of helpful online resources for tourists with links to lodging, as well as dining and shopping options across the County. f. If you intend to collaborate with another agency or non -profit to provide these services, please state the name of the organization and describe the nature of the collaboration: We are collaborating with Jefferson County Public Works on the proposed resurfacing projects. There are two segments of the ODT that need resurfacing, 0.80 miles between Thomas Street and SR 20, and 0.85 miles between SR 20 and Nelsons Landing Road. The labor, equipment and material for Jefferson County Public Works to complete each project is esti mated to be $21,000. 5. How will you measure the effectiveness of your promotion, program, facility, event or activity? Throughout the Larry Scott Trail and the Olympic Discovery Trail, specific effectiveness will be measured by periodic in-person site presence through the Trail Ambassador program, and use of permanent and mobile trail counters (Eco -Counters). In 2024, 170,000 people used sections of the ODT in Jefferson County. This number is based on Eco -counter data and the Trail Ambassador Program. Also based on the same methods, we estimate that about 26% of trail users come from greater than 50 miles away. The Hall Baetz Viewpoint is uniquely situated to provide public access amenities in an important highway and trail interchange where they are currently notably lacking. The Viewpoint offers visitors an attractive and scenic place to stop, take in the views , and be offered suggestions for things to do and explore in the County. The Viewpoint is guaranteed to enhance the visitor experience in Jefferson County. The Olympic Discovery Trail, including the Larry Scott Trail , has increased in popularity over time, so trail enhancements are also guaranteed to enhance visitor experience in Jefferson County. The Olympic Discovery Trail is often the primary reason people visit the area. a. Also, describe how you will document and report to the County the economic impact from your promotion, program, facility, event or activity . (State law requires the County to report annually to the State Department of Community Development and Economic Trade about the number of lodging stays and economic benefit from tourists generated by use of Lodging Tax proceeds for tourism promotion.) RECEIVED 09/10/25 Page 8 of 67 9 | P a g e Trail Ambassador data and Eco-Counter data will be used to measure economic impact for the Larry Scott Trail and the Olympic Discovery Trail. 6. What economic impact can we expect in Jefferson County from your proposed promotion, program, facility, event or activity ? a. Actual or estimated number of tourists at your event/facility last year (2025): In 2024, 170,000 people used sections of the ODT in Jefferson County. This number is based on Eco-counter data and the Trail Ambassador Program. Also based on the same methods, we estimate that about 26% of trail users come from more than 50 miles away. b. Estimated number of tourists who will attend your event/facility this year (2026): It will likely increase. 2025 Trail Ambassador data has not been processed yet, but will be available in early 2026. c. Projected economic impact in Jefferson County from your event/facility (e.g. number of tourists who will stay overnight in Jefferson County -based lodging establishments; economic impact for Jefferson County restaurants, community facilities, amenities, eve nts, and businesses). We estimate that there were at least 22,372 paid lodging nights in 2024. This year’s data is still being collected, using funding from the City of Port Townsend LTAC awarded in 2025, but it’s likely to be at least 23,000 in 2026. A recent study of the potential economic impact of the Washington State portion of the cross - country Great American Rail Trail estimated that the 554 miles of trail in the State will generate $24.9 Million in annual spending. That’s approximately $45,000 p er mile of trail (source: https://www.railstotrails.org/resource -library/resources/webinar -economic-potential-of-the-great- americanrail -trail/. For the Larry Scott Trail segment, a similar estimate would yield $420,000 annually. 7. Describe your organization’s area of expertise. Do you provide a unique service? The Peninsula Trails Coalition is a 3 7-year-old volunteer, nonprofit organization that collaborates and coordinates with 14 city, county, and tribal entities to develop, maintain, and advocate for the Olympic Discovery Trail as a world -class, multi -use pathway connecting communities across the North Olympic Peninsula. The trail provides recreation and active transportation access for a diverse spectrum of users and serves as a catalyst for rural economic development. In addition to connecting communities on the North Olympic Peninsula, the Olympic Discovery Trail is a nationwide asset, serving as the western terminus of the 3,700-mile Great American Rail Trail, the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail, the Sound to Olympics RECEIVED 09/10/25 Page 9 of 67 10 | P a g e Trail, and the Puget Sound to Pacific Trail. Trail traffic counters and in -person trail user surveys document annual usage at more than 300,000 users. The Peninsula Trails Coalition is also a regional leader and collaborator in multiple projects that create and complete an emerging and comprehensive trail network beyond the Olympic Peninsula. For example, the PTC is working with the North Kitsap Trails A ssociation and the Bainbridge Island Parks and Trails Foundation under a collaborative called Puget Sound to Pacific (PS2P) to secure funding to complete 200 miles of non -motorized, multi-use trail connecting Puget Sound on Bainbridge Island to the Pacific Coast at the Quileute tribal reservation in La Push, WA. The 14 jurisdictions encompassed within the PS2P project were recently awarded a $16.3 million federal RAISE grant authored by the PS2P Collaborative to plan and design 34 active transportation comp onents addressing approximately 100 miles in trail gaps within those 14 jurisdictions. 3.

Contracts are prepared by the County and sent to agencies. 2. Available Funding for 2026 Organizations submitting proposals should be aware that a total of approximately $900,000 in lodging tax awards will be available for allocation to eligible tourism promotion activities through this RFP. This amount also includes $5,280 in staff administrative costs to manage the grants and to process invoices, and $10,000 contingency fund for Olympic Peninsula Gateway Visitor Center. County Ordinance 09-1207-98 provides for distribution of Lodging Tax as follows: • The lodging tax funds are to be used for targeted and/or regional promotion, the operation and maintenance of organizations operating tourist related facilities and their costs for local promotional activities. • Not more than 25% for the development of tourism related facilities. 3. Definitions By state law, lodging tax funds may only be used for tourism promotion and the acquisition and/or operation, including maintenance, of tourism -related facilities. The following definitions are copied verbatim from RCW 67.28.080. Note: State law changed in 2007 to include “operation” of tourism events in the definition of “tourism promotion.” "Tourism " means economic activity resulting from tourists, which may include sales of overnight lodging, meals, tours, gifts, or souvenirs. RECEIVED 09/10/25 Page 11 of 67 12 | P a g e "Tourist" means a person who travels from a place of residence to a different town, city, county, state, or country, for purposes of business, pleasure, recreation, education, arts, heritage, or culture. "Tourism promotion" means activities, operations, and expenditures designed to increase tourism, including but not limited to advertising, publicizing, or otherwise distributing information for the purpose of attracting and welcoming tourists; developing strategies to expand tourism; operating tourism promotion agencies; and funding the marketing of special events and festivals designed to attract tourists. “Tourism-related means real or tangible personal property with a usable life of three or more facility” years, or constructed with volunteer labor that is: (a)(i) Owned by a public entity; (ii) owned by a nonprofit organization described under section 501(c)(3) of the federal internal revenue code of 1986, as amended; or (iii) owned by a nonprofit organizati on described under section 501(c)(6) of the federal internal revenue code of 1986, as amended, a business organization, destination marketing organization, main street organization, lodging association, or chamber of commerce and (b) used to supp ort tourism, performing arts, or to accommodate tourist activities. 4. Proposal Evaluation Criteria Jefferson County Policy Statement for Use of the Lodging Tax Jefferson County’s Lodging Tax Fund will be the primary source of county funding for activities, operations, and expenditures designed to increase tourism. The County does not make any multi - year commitments with Lodging Tax funds. However, service provide rs are not limited or prohibited from making repeat annual requests of the same nature. The County intends to maintain a reserve in the Fund, and will assess on an annual basis how much of the Fund to appropriate in a given year. The Jefferson County Commi ssioners have created a Lodging Tax Advisory Committee to conduct an annual process to solicit and recommend Lodging Tax funded services for the County Commissioners consideration. Jefferson County will only consider proposals for use of the Lodging Tax fr om public and non-profit agencies. The Fund will ONLY be used for the following purposes: 1. The promotion of emerging or on -going tourism events, facilities, and activities by government or non-profit agencies so as to attract and draw tourists to unincorporated Jefferson County from outside Jefferson County. 2. Operation of a tourism promotion agency (such as a visitor and convention bureau); 3. The marketing of special events and festivals designed to attract tourists to unincorporated Jefferson County from outside Jefferson County. RECEIVED 09/10/25 Page 12 of 67 13 | P a g e 4.

On February 2, 2006, the State of Washington Attorney General’s Office issued Opinion #AGO 2006 #4, which clarifies that a municipality may NOT provide advance payment to private organizations for tourism promotion. Payment must occur after the services have been performed and documentation in keeping with the contract is submitted to the County. 2. The County may not pay for donated or volunteer services or pay more than the actual cost incurred by the contracting agency to provide the service. RECEIVED 09/10/25 Page 15 of 67 16 | P a g e 5. Background Information Jefferson County’s Lodging Tax The Lodging Tax is an excise (sales) tax authorized by State law in RCW 67.28, Public Stadium, Convention, Arts and Tourism Facilities . In 1998, the State Legislature amended Chapter 67.28 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) to allow local governments to assess an additional 2% tax on lodging for tourism promotion and/or tourism-related facilities (sometimes referred to as “the new 2%”). In April 1999, the County Commission, by Ordinance, increased the County's Lodging Tax from a 2% to a 4% tax as allowed by RCW 67.28. Jefferson County’s Lodging Tax Advisory Committee Per RCW 67.28.1817, the State requires that local governments collecting the Lodging Tax establish a Lodging Tax Advisory Committee consisting of at least five (5) members: The Chair – a member of the County Commission or their designee 2 members – representing the lodging industry 2 members – representing activities authorized to be funded by said tax The Committee’s role is advisory in nature, with the Committee’s purpose being to advise the County Commissioners. The Committee must select the candidates from amongst the applicants applying for use of revenues and provide a list of such candidates and r ecommended amounts of funding to the County Commissioners for final determination. In 1998, the Jefferson County Commissioners created such a Committee, and asked the Committee to establish an annual process to solicit and review proposals for tourism services eligible for lodging tax funding. Committee members are appointed by the Count y Commissioners as part of the County’s regular advisory committee appointment process.

Jefferson Transit Park & Ride Four Corners The ReCyclery Velo Cats Collective Trail Extension by 2026 Introduction This map is intended to provide information to cyclists so that they can make their own decisions as to which route is suited for their skill level. Facilities on the Olympic Peninsula range from narrow roads with no shoulders to roads with bike lanes or wide shoulders, separated trails with no motorized traffic to off-road mountain bike trails. Likewise, vehicular traffic varies from low to high on the roads throughout the area. The roads have been coded with input from local bicycle commuters, recreational cyclists and transportation planners using criteria important to bicyclists. Grade, pavement condition, paved shoulder width, vehicle travel lane width, traffic volumes and speed were some of the factors used in determining the suitability of the roads. The suitability index of the roads should only be used as a guide. Cyclists should be prepared to make their own evaluations; experienced cyclists may feel comfortable on medium and heavy traffic routes, while beginning and amateur riders may prefer to stick to routes with designated bike lanes or lower traffic volumes.
