Commissioners reviewed packet without comment. Sheriff Bob Hansen appeared as a courtsey to the Board re: Actions by the Wash. State Patrol during the Rhododendron Festival. Sheriff Hansen stated the WSP informed him they would have a "show of force" only during the Festival. When he asked what was meant by a "show of force" he was informed they would drive around this area so people would be aware of their presence. Hansen stated the Patrol actually made many arrests for minor traffic violations, using shotguns and handcuffs to effect arrests, and deliberately harassed and prevented many persons, especially motorcycleists, from coming into the Co. Be- cause of this, Hansen said he called Olympia and asked that the State Patrol be with-drawn from this area. He feels the WSP had actually put this County under a state of siege. Sheriff Hansen ask the Board to request a hearing with the WSP to also get their side of the story so they will not be swayed by him. There being no further business before the Board, the meeting was adjourned.
