November 16, 2018
Dear Commissioners,
I am a resident, voter, and property owner of Port Townsend and Jefferson
County. I appeal to you all to do whatever possible to reverse the process of
approving an ordinance permitting outdoor shooting ranges in Jefferson County.
I am certain you are aware of the growing problem of militarization of our
peninsula, and the growing alarm, anger, and outrage of residents, not to
mention the dismay of visitors and tourists.
Our peace and wellbeing have been severely impacted in many ways in the past
several years, from the Growler jet installation, to their now proposed expansion,
to the naval blasting and bombing of our marine sanctuaries, to the invasion of
our parks and lands by naval "practice" exercises using citizenry as "pretend"
targets, etc.
We have had enough. Giving approval to outdoor shooting ranges in our county
will give the go-ahead to yet more invasive operations, further destroying our
peace and privacy, negatively impacting the precious environment, and will put a
large percentage of Jefferson County residents over-the-edge.
Please, ask yourselves, in today's climate of inadequate gun control laws, daily
episodes of violent and mortal mass gun attacks on our people, should officials
representing the people of Jefferson County enact a regulation that gives
development permission to a for-profit shooting range -- against the will of the
people?
Sincerely,
Alea Waters, RN
375 Woodland Ave.
