Dear Commissioner
I have read protests, from time to time; from people objecting to the proposed Trendwest Project. I am sure you
are acquainted with some of these dialogues as well as the personalities themselves. If you counted one hundred
complainers, you would surprise me, if you could identify three, as having been a person of any long standing
residency in the geographical area nor The State of Washington for that matter. You need no history lesson just
because I am a third generation citizen of our community. I visited the Port Ludlow mill and settlement in the
"thirties". I needn't remind you that many of the homes now occupied in Port Gamble were mill hand homes in
Port Ludlow, barged when the mill no longer thrived. Notice in the last ten years the Bank of America branch
moved out of its location adjacent to the contractor, Post Office. If a person, and there many, do want to continue
banking with Bank of America they must go to Hadlock or to Poulsbo. That is a nice trip, we can also shop there
in a full service attraction, and leave our money there.
You have heard proponents for Trendwest colorfully remind us it would be a wonderful windfall to the overall
community profile. Beside the likely increase in grocery selection, attractive meaningful shops with the added
employment available I feel a medical dispensary would grow early on. We have no emergency medical support
other than our very efficient Fire Department. I have had personally two cardiac episodes, EMT transported me to
Port Townsend for one and, the latest, Harrison Hospital in Silverdale. A clinic or dispensary pharmacy available
would be reality.
I appreciate the respective Commissioners studying the imitative and urge your support. Please don't let
"outsiders" run us from our aspirations of a quality of life, full service, vigorous community.
Respectfully
Jerry Conover
