CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
Throughout history, Jefferson, County has been a land which inspired
enthusiasm.
Prior to the arrival of European settlers and explorers, Jefferson County
was inhabited by several tribes of indigenous Salish-speaking people,
and by two tribes 1 of another (Chimakuan) linguistic family. In the West
End, the Quillayute and Quinault tribes made their homes, while the
Clallam, Chimacum, and Twana groups occupied the eastern portion of
the county.
The Quillayutes and Quinaults were expert whale a~d seal hunters.
They were also adept at'trading with their neighboring tribes.
Occasionally, tribes from Vancouver Island to the Columbia River
engaged in coastal warfare. This fighting caused intertribal strife
(particularly with the Makah), but did not prevent intertribal trade.
Fishing and logging are still primary occupations of the Quinault and
Quillayute.
The Quiflayutes shared with the Chimacum tribe the distinction of being
the only non-Salish-speaking peoples on the Olympic Peninsula.
Legend is that during a great flood or tidal wave the Quillayute people
lashed together many canoes in which to ride out the storm. A small
number of those canoes broke away and floated over the Olympic
Mountains to the area now known as Port Hadlock. The inhabitants of
the castaway canoes became the Chimacum, a tribe which, until its
extinction, remained in the Port Hadlock vicinity.
The Chimacum tribe was small in number even in the late 18th century.
Clamming along the coast and fishing in Chimacum Creek provided
abundant sustenance. They were a particularly pugnacious people and
warfare was a fundamental part of tribal life, but, as with most of the

native population, disease was the primary cause of the tribe's
decimation. The remaining Chimacum were virtually annihilated in a
raid by the Clallam and Suquamish tribes (an encounter led by the
Suquami h chief Seattle). The few survivors were absorbed into other
tribes. T e landmark known as Tamanamus Rock is the site of many
tribal leg nds and stories. The dragon Noquiklos, who befriended a
young C imacum warrior, was said to have lived at the rock.
T amana us Rock was also alleged to be the site to which the
entrappe tribe members fled during Seattle's raid. Members of the
Clallam t ibe, regarded by some as the most powerful and warlike of the
Salish-s aking people along the Washington coast, occupied the
eastern rtion of the county formerly held by the Chimacums. Chief
Chetzem ka of the Clallams often acted as arbiter in the conflicts
between e tribe and the white settlers in the area, and is today
remembe ed as a statesman. Chetzemoka Park in Port Townsend is
named in his honor.
The Port ad lock area, and in particular the site of what is now the Port
Hadlock arina and Inn, Skunk Island and the surrounding waterfront 2,
was a'm 'or and important center, having permanent buildings and
being ref rred to by some as the Capital of the Puget Sound Clans.
Remains of a stone wall built in the bay to accommodate a protected
moorage for canoes may still be seen, as well as signs of the site of a
potlatch ong house. 3 The potlatch, a ceremony in which one
establish d one's wealth by distributing it to others, was common to an
tribes in efferson County, and was an occasion ofgr~t honor to the
host. Th last great potlatch on the Olympic Peninsula was held by Old
Patsy in ' ort Hadlock in the 1890's.
The early explorers of many nations were intrigued by Jefferson
County's uncharted features and astounded by its many bounties. It
was in Je erson County in 1775 that white men were first recorded as
having s t foot on what would become the state of Washington: two
Spaniard , Lt. Juan Quadra and Cmdr. Burno Haceta, came ashore
near the I outh of the Hoh River to claim this territory for Spain.

In late April of 1792, Captain George Vancouver entered the tranquil
waters of Juan de Fuca Strait after months of struggle against the
elements and the Pacific Ocean. Although he did not find the legendary
and much-sought Northwest Passage, he was much impressed by the
awesome beauty of the land.
No doubt the colorful and enthusiastic description that filled the
journals of many early explorers had a bearing on deciding which
lands, in 1848, should be included in the important addition to the
United States known as the Oregon Territory.
In the last half of the 1800's the enthusiasm continued as settlers from
around the world came by land and sea to take advantage of this
country. Shipbuilding, logging, sawmills, farming, breweries, and
canneries flourished. Ships from every maritime n8:tion of the world
moored in the harbors at Port Townsend, Port Ludlow, Port Hadlock,
Irondale and Discovery Bay.
Preparations were made for metropolises at Port Townsend and
lrondale and the industrial expectations for these areas of the county
were high. Settlers continued to come and penetrated deeply into the
wilderness, away from the more settled areas. It was these sturdy
families who founded the early communities at Brinnon, Quilcene,
Chimacum, Nordland, Discovery Bay, and the Hoh River. Many of their
descendants reside today in the rural communities which their
forefathers established over a century ago.
The prosperity of Jefferson County has risen and declined sharply a
number of times in the past 100 years. The high expectations in the
1870's of being the terminus of the transcontinental railroad ended in
economic disaster as eastern Puget Sound became the transportation
center of the Pacific Northwest. The development of Fort Worden and
Fort Flagler as military bases during both World Wars, accompanied by
the subsequent post-war withdrawal of military personnel had serious
impact on the local economy4. While many people migrated to other
parts of the country during declines in the economy, many chose to
"tn 1957, a}lNen1le treatment center was established at Fort Worden. In 1971, the center was closed, and 10day Is a state park.
Fort AagIer Is also a state park.

stay. Their love of the area and its resources, their faith in its future and
their wish to maintain a chosen lifestyle sustained and developed the
various communities. Now they are joined by others who wish to leave
urban areas, for ne.w employment opportunities and those who want to
retire or reside in an area where relaxation and recreation are
accompanied by a favorable climate.
1
A large percentage of the land mass of the County is under the
stewardship of the federal government in the form of the Olympic
National Forest which was established in 1897, and the Olympic
National park which was created in 1938. A significant addition was
made to the national park in 1956, in the form of an ocean corridor
which gave protection to the ocean beaches and adjacent land along
the Northern Coast of the Olympic Peninsula. Together the Olympic
National Park and Olympic national Forest form not only a world
heritage site and a biosphere reserve, but also a recreation site of
international significance. 5 .
Once again, growth is evident and inevitable. Recent growth
projections indicate that population increases for the next ten years
(1990-2000) will be 23%6, compared with a 1% growth rate for the years
1960-1970 and 5% for the years 1970-1980 7.
The purpose of this plan is to state how park, recreation and open
space needs should be addressed and implemented, for the benefit
both of County residents and for those who come to Jefferson County
as visitors. The government of Jefferson County is vested with the
responsibility and authority for promoting the health, safety, and
welfare of its citizens. To that end, the County Board of Commissioners
provides this document as a means by which County residents may
exercise their independence and choose the quality of life they desire
for their community for this generation and those to come. In addition,
"Through the Washington State Dept. of Ecology and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration a proposed Washington
Outer Coast NatlonaI marii1e Sanctuary and Northern Pugel Sound Marine Sanctuary have been proposed to protect marine
resources.

the Port of Port Townsend is authorized to provide and operate park
and recreation facilities when such facilities enhance water access, air
passenger terminals and other port facilities. To develop a cohesive
and sensitive parks and recreation management plan for the entire
County, the Port of Port Townsend joins with the County in the
preparation and enactment of this Plan.

CHAPTER 2
THE PLANNING PROCESS
In 1988, the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners established the
Jefferson County Parks Advisory Board asa non-paid citizen advisory
group to make ongoing recommendations regarding the use,
acquisition and development of parks within Jefferson County. The
board was established as a seven member board, with the members
drawing lots of one, two or three years for their initial term of office, with
subsequent terms of three years for incoming members. The board is
composed of members from all three commissioner districts. Each
commissioner district is equalized by geographic boundaries to
represent approximately the same number of citizens.
The primary responsibility of the Parks Advisory Board is to give policy-
oriented recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners. It is
also the responsibility of the Parks Advisory ,Board to make
recommendations to the Planning Commission, the Port of Port
Townsend, and the City of Port Townsend. The staff of the Public Works
Department, Planning Department, Port of Port Townsend, City of Port
Townsend and the Jefferson County Recreation Department provide the
Board of County Commissioners and the Parks Advisory Board with
administrative and technical planning assistance.
A Parks Comprehensive Plan is defined as a set of policies and
proposals adopted by the various local governments which serve in:
Defining specific projects and project goals.
Reflecting the desires and needs of the county citizens as
expressed through community involvement by survey, and public
meetings and workshops.
Coordinating County programs and services by cooperation with
State, Federal, and local agencies.
A source of reference to aid in developing, correlating, and

coordinating official regulations and guidelines.
To obtain funding for Parks and Recreational needs and projects.
Promoting the general welfare of the citizens of the County.
, The plan will address:
Specific capital improvement projects.
Public survey and public meeting results.
The location and services of all park and recreation facilities.
Park, recreation and open space philosophy.
Recommendations to implement park and recreation goals.
Conservation of natural resources.
Once adopted, a comprehensive plan can be revis~ and updated in
total or on a topic-by-topic basis. The planning program for Jefferson
County will continually strive for the highest degree of public
involvement. No plan, policy or program can truly be successful unless
it represents the values or opinions of County citizens who make their
values and opinions known. It is the hope of the Board of County
Commissioners, Parks Advisory Board, Port of Port .T9wnsend and City
of Port Townsend that the people of Jefferson County will take every
opportunity to participate in all phases of the planning program and in
any matter which affects future growth and development of the County.
Process for Adoption of the Parks Comprehensive Plan: The plan
will be reviewed in a series of public forums, located in no fewer than
five strategic geographic areas of the county. After completion of the
public forums, the Jefferson County Planning Commission will conduct
at least one public meeting on the plan. The plan will then be reviewed
for adoption by the Board of County Commissioners in a public hearing.
Process for Amending the Parks Comprehensive Plan: The plan
may be amended by initiation of the Parks Advisory Board, any County
agency, or any citizen or citizen group request. All amendments to the
plan will be incorporated in the schedule for Annual ,Update of the
Parks Comprehensive Plan as shown below. Amendments should be

reviewed for consistency with current community development plans (if
any) and the County Comprehensive Plan. Amendments may be
presented at any time during the year to the Parks Advisory Board, but
only those presented before March of any given year will be
incorporated in the current year's plan.
Process for Update of the Parks Comprehensive Plan: The Capital
Improvement , Action Plan and Demands and Needs sections of the
plan should be updated annually to reflect the current demands, needs
and trends by the public, as well as any amendments deemed
necessary by the Parks Advisory Board. The plan, in its entirety, should
be updated every fIVe years.

CHAPTER 3
JEFFERSON COUNTY AND ITS RESOURCES
LOCATION, BOUNDARIES, SIZE1
Jefferson County is located on the northern portion of Washington's
Olympic Peninsula. The county is bounded on the west by the Pacific
Ocean, and on the east by the waters of Admiralty Inlet and Hood
'Canal. On the north it adjoins Clallam County, and on the south Mason
and Gray's Harbor Counties. The county is 1,805 square miles in size,
making it the eighteenth largest of the state's thirty~nine counties.
LANDFORMS and GEOLOGY
Physically, the county consists of three distinct geographic areas: the
West End On the Pacific Ocean, the Olympic Mountains in the Central
Region, and the puget Lowlands in the eastern section. The Olympic
Mountains are by far the dominant landform of the county, occupying
more that three-quarters of its total land mass. The range includes
Mount Olympus (7,965 feet), the highest point on the Olympic
Peninsula Occupying the majority of the land area in the range are the
Olympic National Forest and the Olympic National Park.
Because the Olympics were uplifted as a dome, rather than as a ridge,
the river systems which developed radiate out in all directions from the
center. The major river systems draining into the Pacific on the West
End are the Hoh, the Clearwater, and the Queets. Draining north into
the Strait of Juan de Fuca are the Elwha and the Dungeness, both of
which originate in Jefferson County, but pass through Clallam County.
The major rivers emptying into Admiralty Inlet and Hood Canal in
eastern Jefferson County are the Duckabush, the Dosewallips, the Big
Quilcene, and the Little Quilcene. Snow Creek, Salmon Creek, and
Eagle Creek drain into Discovery Bay.
Glaciers, both mountain and continental, have been the primary

sculptors of the highlands and lowlands of Jefferson County. While
their influence on the topography is apparent, their less obvious impact
on soils, geology, and ground water conditions is equally important. At
least four separate glaciers have invaded the Puget Lowland, leaving
behind a complex series of sediments up to 2,000 feet thick.
The two primary types of glacial deposits are "outwash II and "tilt".
Outwash consists of unconsolidated sand, gravel, and rocks which
results from the runoff of melting glaciers. Outwash is usually quite
loose and highly permeable. Glacial till or IIhardpan" consists of
unsorted clay, sand, gravel, and rock which has been compacted by
the weight of the glacier into a highly impervious concrete-like material.
Due to the advance and decline of several glaciers, these layers of
outwash and till may overlap one another, and may run in different
directions.
In the West End, the foothills of the Olympics consists primarily of both
glacial till and outwash. Glaciation in this area was limited to mountain
types, since the rugged mountains kept the lower level continental
glaciers well away from the coast. In addition to the outwash and till,
the valley floors of the three major river basins in the West End consists
largely of alluvial deposits.
The Olympics themselves, in the center of the Peninsula, are composed
of ancient sedimentary and meta-sedimentary rock. The eastern
portion of the range, from near the Little Quilcene River south to the
county line, consist of more recent basaltic rock, a volcanic formation.
The geology of the northeast portion of the county, a part of the puget
Lowlands, is somewhat more complex. The substrata is again primarily
sedimentary or basaltic bedrock, but is frequently overlaid with various
types of glacial deposits at differing depths.
Basaltic rock outcroppings are evident from Mats Mats to Chimacum,
and also occur in a strip just west of the southerly tip of Discovery Bay.
The area west of a line between Irondale and Quilcene Bay consists
primarily of sedimentary rock. Also in this category is a strip running
from about the middle of Discovery Bay west to the Clallam County line.

The remaining half of the puget Lowland area, or northeast portion of
the county, is composed primarily of glacial till and outwash. This
includes most of the major peninsulas and islands, specifically the
Quimper, Miller, Toandos, and Bolton Peninsulas; and Indian and
Marrowstone Islands. Also included is the central portion of eastern
Jefferson County, roughly from Chimacum Ridge and Port Ludlow
south to Dabob Bay and Hood Canal.
The geology, or parent material, which underlies the soils of Jefferson
County can play a vital role in the planning of both private and public
developments. Geologic characteristics which are important include:
slope stability and landslide potential, compressibility, liquid waste
disposal, ground water sources, and deposits of minerals. Maps and
information relating to these characteristics are available in the
office of the Jefferson County Planning and Building Department.
The data are useful for land planning either on a sit~-by-site basis or for
area-wide analysis.
Slope Stability: This is the potential of land slippage due to factors such
as steepness, composition of materials, and water content within soils.
There are obvious implications of this landslide information for the
protection of public and private investments. Without proper
engineering precautions and slope stabilization measures the
placement of structures on unstable grounds should be avoided.
Compressibility : is the characteristic of a geologic formation to resist
consolidation or compaction due to a heavy overburden or from
seismic shaking. In general, the most compressible materials are not
stable and are poorly suited for foundations. A knowledge of the
compressibility of materials in an area can be useful in determining
suitability of land for various uses. Compressibility is often referred to
as the "bearing capacity" for roads and building.
Liguid Waste Disposal : Geological liquid waste disposal as a
characteristic deals with the deposition of liquid waste into the geologic
substrata without contaminating ground water supplies. This
characteristic considers slope, permeability, drainage, depth to the
water table, and the type of geologic material. For example, an area
that is well suited for liquid waste disposal would be gravelly, sandy

soils, a permeable underlying geological deposit, all over an
impermeable layer such as till. In the above example, septic tank
effluent would percolate through the first two layers and be sealed by
the impermeable till from ground water sources lying below. As soils
and geology playa complimentary role in liquid waste disposal,
extraordinary measures may be required to insure the safe disposal of
septic tank effluent in Jefferson County.
Mineral Deposits: Five,categories of marketable mineral resources were
investigated and mapped. These include peat, andesite,
conglomerate, basalt, sand and gravel. These resources appear in
various quantities and in a number of locations throughout Jefferson
County.
Ground Water Sources: Ground water resources in Jefferson County
are quite unpredictable in location, quantity and qu.atity. The research
and mapping of underground reservoirs, often called "aquifers", has
been completed under the Jefferson County landfill as per the
requirements of the Washington State Department of Ecology. Other
areas of the County remain unmapped.
SOilS
The soils of Jefferson County are formed by the various forces of water,
heat, time, vegetation and animal life, all acting on the geologic parent
material. In the County the principal parent material consists of the
sands and gravels associated with glacial till and outwash. Most of the
soils were developed in a moist, mild marine climate under a rich
covering of plant life.
Soil scientists from the U.S. Soil Conservation Service recently
'completed a soil survey of Jefferson County. This survey named,
categorized and classified some 101 specific soil types in the 10 major
soil associations found in the County. From this survey and other
publications, the Jefferson County Planning Department developed
seven soil interpretive maps including: suitability for septic tanks and
drainfields; slope; depth to seasonal water table; ponding and flooding;
aquifer recharge potential; agricultural suitability; and woodland
suitability. Knowledge of soil characteristics and, capabilities can assist

determining suitability of land for various uses. These soil interpretive
maps, however, are not to be substituted for specific on-site field
inspections which may produce findings somewhat different from the
more general aCcounts. It should also be noted that even some of the
most severe soil limitations can be overcome by engineering
techniques. Soil interpretive imaps for the County are available for
viewing at the Jefferson County Planning Department.
Suitability for Septic Tanks and Drainfields : The classification of soil
suitability for septic tank and drainfield systems considers soil
properties that may inhibit the proper functioning of these systems by
affecting both effluent absorption and decomposition, and/or the
construction and operation of the system. ,
Due to the particular geologic formation of eastern Jefferson County
only a small portion, approximately 10% of the entire area has soil
characteristics which are well-suited for the proper functioning ,of septic
tank and drainfield systems. Of this 10% less, than 1 % is categorized as
having uno limitations. II The remaining 9% falls within the "moderately
suitedll category.
Most of these preferred soils are found on the Quimper Peninsula, as
far south as Chimacum. There are two areas of significant size which
are well suited or have "no limitations" for septic tanks and drainfields.
The forest area is within the corporate limits of Port Townsend, 'an area
presently serviced with public sewers. The second area lies near the
town of Chimacum encompassing approximately one square mile. A
few other small areas of these most preferred soil characteristics are
scattered about the Quimper Peninsula.
Aside from the Quimper Peninsula, only moderately suited soils are
intermittently found, the greatest concentration of these are located in
the Shine area.
Depth to Seasonal Water Table: Depth to seasonal water table is a
measurement from the surface of the ground to the water table that
occurs during the wet months of the year. A shallow depth between the
ground surface and the water table may cause both foundation and

septic tank effluent disposal problems. A high seasonal water table
may inhibit septic tank effluent from being properly decomposed in the
soil. It may also cause foundations to "float" on their footings resulting
in structural damage to buildings. ,
Glacially cemented hardpan layers and shallow depth to bedrock
account for the large portion l(approximately half) of eastern Jefferson
County having a rather shallow depth to seasonal water table, (0 to 3
feet below the ground level). Since slope gradients play an important
role in determining surface run-off, these areas of shallow seasonal
water tables are generally the more level areas within the County.
I
I
Ponding : When the sonal water table rises above the surface of the
land, ponding occurs. Areas of ponding are almost exclusively. found in
low areas, such as the West and Chimacum Valleys, or in depressions
in the land profile, suc as areas surrounding lakes and ponds. Small
areas of ponding are I ted intermittently about tlie County, with large
concentrations locat in the inland and river valleys.
Elooding : occurs whe ~a spring, stream or river over-runs its banks or
channels, In river and stream valleys the area most regularly flooded is
called the floodplain. s identified on soil maps, the most probable
areas of flood hazards occur in eastern Jefferson County in the
floodplains of Snow Creek, the Dosewallips and Duckabush Rivers as
well as the Big and little Quilcene Rivers. There are other areas
adjacent to springs and creeks scattered throughout the eastern portion
of Jefferson County which have been identified as having flood hazard
potential. Portions of the Hoh, Queets, and Clearwater Rivers in the
West End also are subject to seasonal flooding.
Ponding and flooding, like a shallow depth to the seasonal water table,
may be a hazard to development. Property owners should take
adequate measures to insure that structural damage will not occur to
buildings and roads on soils subject to ponding and flooding, or avoid
development on these soils altogether. Likewise, septic tank and
drainfield systems should not be installed in areas exhibiting these
characteristics.
Aquifer recharge potential, agriculture suitability, and woodlands
suitability are soil properties which have resource value. These soils

properties are intrinsically suited for the growing of agricultural and
timber products, or for recharging ground water aquifers.
Aquifer Recharge Potential: Aquifer recharge potential is the relative
ability of the soil and underlying geology to'transport rainwater into
underground aquifers. This classification considers the water intake
rate of the topsoils, the permeability of subsoils, and parent materials.
While it is not exactly known if water falling on these areas actually
reaches the aquifers that supply the many wells in the County, it is not
unreasonable to assume these areas do playa role in recharging
underground water reservoirs.
Aquifer recharge areas contain some of the most permeable soils.
Conflicts can arise between the proper functioning of these soils and
development. . First, roof tops, driveways, walkways, and frontage roads
all reduce the amount of land surface able to receive rainwater.
Secondly, in areas of extreme permeability, septic tank effluent may
percolate faster than the ability of soil microorganisms to purify it, thus
increasing the chance of ground water contamination. Proper
precaution should be taken when developing on areas considered to
have aquifer recharge potential so the function of these areas may be
maintained without depleting or contaminating ground water supplies.
The ability of soils to allow replenishment of ground water reservoirs
becomes an increasingly important resource as more demand is
placed on ground water for commercial and domestic use. Large areas
of high aquifer recharge potential are found on the Quimper Peninsula,
extending south as far as Center. Other notable areas occur around
Shine and West of Quilcene and Discovery Bay. Smaller areas
exhibiting this desirable characteristic are found throughout the
remainder of the eastern portion of the County.
Agricultural Suitability: The suitability of soils for agricultural
production has been classified by the Soil Conservation Service into
eight categories or classes. These categories are determined by
expected crop yields and soil management techniques required.
Generally speaking, Class 1 through 4 soils produce the highest yields
with the least amount of soil management. Class 5 through 8 soils will
require more costly soil management and lower yields can be expected.

There are no Class 1 soils in Jefferson County but there are areas of
Class 2, 3, and 4 soils.
Approximately 15,000 acres of land, or about 9% of the land area in
eastern Jefferson County is classified by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture as having prime agricultural suitability (Class 2 and 3).
Although much of this land is scattered in small areas throughout the
eastern portion of the County, there are a few areas of significant size
worth noting.
The largest concentration of prime agricultural land is found in the
Snow Creek, Chimacum and West Valley areas and around the town of
Quilcene. Most of this agricultural land is used by the dairy and
livestock industry for grazing purposes.
As more demand is placed on the farmers to help ~upplement regional
or local community markets, the resource value of agriculturally-suited
land may rise. At the same time, however, the economics of farming
and using farmland to its full potential becomes increasingly difficult.
TOPOGRAPHY
Approximately half of the land profile in eastern Jefferson County is of
slopes 15% or greater. The greatest portion of these steeper slopes lies
on the foothills of the Olympic Mountain Range from Discovery Bay
south to the Mason-Jefferson County line. Included in this excessive
slope and west edges of the Toandos Peninsula. Less steep areas are
generally beaches or plateaus, and the Quimper Peninsula.
Detailed slope conditions are depicted on maps and charts available at
the Jefferson County Planning Department.
CLIMATE
Although Jefferson County is located within the West Coast Marine
Climatic Region, there are significant variations in climate within the
county. Five distinct climatic zones have been identified, which vary
with elevation, topography, rainfall and position with respect to bodies
of water and wind patterns. Some great climatic changes occur within

very short distances in the County. For example, the western central
portion of the Olympic Mountains receives some of the heaviest rainfall
in the nation, averaging above 200 inches annually in certain locations.
Port Townsend is only about fifty miles from this wet area, yet receives
only about 18 inches annually. This somewhat dry northeastern area is
contrasted with the rain forests on the Coast, and the alpine zones in
the high Olympics. Within each of the distinct climate zones, various
species of plant and animal life have adapted more successfully than
others, resulting in a variety of forest ecosystems.
Within the inhabited lowlands, maritime air has a moderating influence
throughout the year. High temperatures in the summer ranges in the
60's and 70's; lows in the 40's and lower 50's. In the winter, maximum
'temperatures are between 38 and 45 degrees Fahrenhe!t, and.
minimums, on average, from 28 to 35 degrees. While the Cascade
Mountains protect the Puget Lowland area from cold continental air
masses in the winter and excessive heat in the summer, the Olympics
shield the northeastern portion of the County from the high rainfall
which occurs on the coast. A climatological phenomenon known as the
"Olympic Rain Shadow" is an area centered north of Port Townsend,
resulting in the driest coastal region north of southern California. The
northeastern portion of Jefferson County, on the fringe of the rain
shadow, receives approximately 16 inches of rainfall annually, less than
half that of Seattle, The area between Port Townsend and Port Angeles
is considered to be, by many, the most desirable climate in the Pacific
Northwest, both for residential and recreational purposes.
FLOODPLAINS
Jefferson County has seven major river systems which are subject to
seasonal flooding. Four of these are located in the eastern section of
the County (Duckabush, Dosewallips, Big Quilcene, and Little
Quilcene), and three in the West End (Hoh, Clearwater, and Queets).
Jefferson County is a participant in the National Flood Insurance
program which makes federally-subsidized flood damage insurance
available to property owners at reasonable low rates.

Management Plan 2 is being developed for these two areas.
STORM WATER
Jefferson County is currently developing a Storm Water Management
Plan, funded through the Department of Ecology's Centennial Clean
Water Act monies.
SHORELINES
One of Jefferson County's most outstanding assets is its many miles of
both fresh and salt water shoreline. The history, the present, and the
future of the county are closely linked to its shorelines, much of which
still remains in a natural or relatively undeveloped state. '
In Eastern Jefferson County, there are about 170 niiles of marine
shoreline along Discovery Bay, the Straits of Juan de Fuca, Admiralty
Inlet, and Hood Canal. Only about 15, miles of these are in public
ownership and accessible to the general public. This includes county
or state parks at Fort Worden, Old Fort Townsend, Fort Flagler, Oak
Bay, Indian Island, Bywater Bay, Termination Point, the Dosewallips
River, and Pleasant Harbor. There is a national forest campground at
Seal Rock on Hood Canal. There are also publicly owned boat
launches at Gardiner, Lower Port Hadlock, Mats Mats, Shine, Quilcene,
and Port Townsend.
The approximately 30 miles of Pacific Ocean shoreline of Western
Jefferson County is predominantly within the Olympic National Park
and managed by the National Park Service. Most of the remainder falls
within the boundaries of the Quinault and Hoh Indian Nations.
In addition, there are approximately 300 miles of stream and lake
shoreline under the jurisdiction of the Shoreline Program. Anderson,
Crocker, and Gibbs Lakes, Lake Leland, Kah Tai Lagoon, and the
Chinese Gardens are all fresh water lakes which have provision for

public access.
The Hohs Bogachiels and QueetsjClearwater are the major river
systems of Western Jefferson County. The Big and Little Quilcenes
Dosewallips, and Duckabush Rivers, and Snow, Chimacum,
Thorndyke, and Fulton Creeks are the major rivers and streams of
Eastern Jefferson County.
The shorelines of Jefferson County contain ecosystems and wildlife
with intrinsic values of national significance. Fish, shellfish, water-fowl
and other aquatic wildlife thrive in the marine nearshore. Landside, the
area is forested with a variety of trees. The shoreline is also an
attractive location for human activities such as residences, businesses
and recreation. As such, the shoreline serves as an interface between
land and water activities. These activities include residential,
commercial, industrial, transportation, and public ~njoyment uses.
The desire to develop these shorelines for the above uses have been
perhaps the single greatest contributor in recent years to growth and
development in the County, as well as throughout the State. In defiance
of the strong preference our traditional political and legal system
affords private property rights, Washington State enacted the Shoreline
Management Act in 19713. The Act asserts that because of the unique
nature of the shoreline, private rights are subject to certain public
rights. Washington's only successful attempt at statewide land-use
planning, the Act has survived almost three decades as a balanced
approach to shoreline development that includes state, local and
private interests in the planning and permitting process:
'the shorelines of the state are among the most valuable and
fragile of its natural resources... There is great concern
throughout the state relating to their utilization, protection,
restoration, and preservation... Ever increasing pressures of
additional uses are being placed on the shorelines
necessitating increased coordination in the management and
development of the shorelines... Much of the shorelines of the
'Acopy of this act Is avalIabIe through the Jefferson County PlannIng and Building Depar1menfs ShoreUne DivIsIon. Jefferson
County has a Shorelines Commission.

state and adjacent uplands are in private ownership;
unrestricted construction on the privately owned or publicly
owned shorelines of the state is not in the best public interest;
and therefore, coordinated planning jointly performed by
federal, state, and local governments, to prevent the inherent
harm in an uncoordinated and piecemeal development of the
state's shorelines is necessary in order to protect the public
interest associated with the shorelines of the state. D
The legislature also recognized that certain shoreline areas have
statewide significance that should be managed to protect the state-
wide interest of all citizens, preserve the natural character, resources,
and ecology of the shoreline, provide long term benefits, and increase
public access to public lands and public recreational opportunities.
Din the implementation of this policy, the public's opportunity
to enjoy the physical and aesthetic qualitieS of natural
shorelines of the state shall be preserved to the greatest
extent feasible...and uses shall be preferred which are
consistent with control of pollution and prevention of damage
to the ,natural environment, or which are unique to or
dependent upon use of the state's shoreline. Alterations of
the natural condition of the shorelines of the state, in those
limited instances when authorized, shall be given priority for
single family residences, ports, shoreline recreational
uses...and...improvements facilitating public access to
shorelines, industrial and commercial developments which
are particularly water-dependent...and other development that
will provide an opportunity for substantial numbers of the
people to enjoy the shorelines... D
In Jefferson County these shorelines of state-wide significance are all
marine waters below extreme low tide, the intertidal areas and adjoining
shorelines of Hood Canal, and portions of the Hoh, Bogachiel, and
Clearwater Rivers.
The shorelines of Jefferson County fall under the jurisdiction of the joint

mandates of the Washington State Department of Ecology, the

contains an inventory of shoreline natural characteristics and land use
patterns, statements of goals, policies, and performance standards to
protect shoreline resources and manage development in the shoreline
jurisdiction, and provisions for developing and administering a permit

Townsend Shoreline Advisory Committee is a nine-member citizen
board that advises the Board of County Commissioners on issues or
shoreline permits and the Shoreline Master Program. The Shoreline
Advisory Committee is staffed by the Jefferson County Planning
Department.
We are fortunate, in Jefferson County, to live in close proximity, to rich
and varied shorelines. Our sOCial, cultural, spiritual, economic, and
political values are deeply influenced by the values and functions of our
shorelines. Along with our neighbors, other, citizens of the state, and ,
indeed, even national and international groups, we recognize the
significance of Jefferson County's shoreline resources. It is a resource
of tremendous value, which "befongs" to no QQe., but to everyone and
therefore, we should in turn hold in trust for the future.
WILDLIFE AND MARINE RESOURCES
Prior to the appearance of Europeans on the Peninsula, all indigenous
fish, shellfish, and wildlife were abundant in their undisturbed natural
habitat. The local Indians found these resources so plentiful that they
had no need to cultivate crops; a large variety of natural foods was
readily available.
Soon after the first white settlers came, the area's population began to
put pressures on the natural fish and wildlife resources. As early as
1871 laws were passed to restrict salmon fishing. By 1909 excessive
hunting threatened the west coast elk with extinction. The once
abundant Olympic wolf disappeared from the Peninsula about 1930.
The diverse ecosystems of the Olympic National Park and Olympic
National Forest provide one of the few remaining sanctuaries for some
species whose habitats are threatened elsewhere in the nation and in
the world.

In total there are 60 species of mammalsJ 82 species of resident birdsJ
and 220 varieties of migratory birds on the Olympic Peninsula.
The fish and wildlife resources of Jefferson County are of substantial
recreational and economic cQnsequence. The Washington State
Wildlife Department has a game-planting programJ and both State and
federal fisheries agencies maintain researchJ rearingJ and stocking
programs in Jefferson County.
Game in the County includes blacktail deer, elk, black bearJ mountain
goat, cougar, pheasant, California quail, mountain quail, cottontail and
snowshoe rabbits, band-tailed pigeon, beaver, muskrat, mink, river
otter, marten, weasel, skunk, bobcat, coyote, and ,raccoon.
Major waterfowl species include ducks: mallard, pintail, canvasback,
ruddy, harlequin, ringnecked, wood duck, redhead~ oldsquaw,
bufflehead, wigeon, scaup, goldeneye, green-winged teal, brant, and
shoveler; geese: Canada, lesser Canada, snow, cackling, and white-
fronted geese. Merganser, sooter, common snipe, American coot, and
whistling swan occur in lesser numbers. Eastern Jefferson County has
an active Audubon Society, the Admiralty Audubon Society.
The principal species of anadromous fish are chinook, coho, pink,
chum, and sockeye salmon, and steel head, cut-throat, and Dolly
Varden trout. Resident freshwater fish include rainbow, cut-throat,
brook, golden, Dolly Varden, and lake trout, as well as grayling,
mountain whitefish, kokanee, warmouth, bluegill, black crappie,
pumpkinseed, brown bullhead, yellow perch, and largemouth,
smallmouth, and rock bass. Important marine fish are Pacific halibutJ
Pacific herring, albacore, rattish, skate, surf smelt, dogfish, Pacific

miles of irregular terrain to areas of needJ and limited water rights. The
only sizable domestic system using surface water at the present time is
the Olympic Gravity SystemJ which has withdrawal stations on both the
Big and Little Quilcene Rivers. From this system the City of Port
Townsend is allotted five million gallons per day by contractual
agreement with Port Townsenp Paper CorporationJ co-owners of the
original pipeline. Port Townsend Paper reserves all excess water for its
present and future needs at its kraft paper mill outside of Port
Townsend. Of the five million gallons per day allocated to the City
system, one million gallons daily is permitted to be diverted to the Tri-
Area region (ChimacumJ Port HadlockJ Irondale), and is divided
between residences served by Jefferson County P.U.D. and the City of
Port Townsend Utilities Department. Of this volumeJ 100,000 gallons
per day is contractually obligated to the U~S. Navy's Conventional
Ordnance Facility at Indian Island. A portion of the Tri-Area supply also
is furnished to Fort Flagler State Park and the Marrowstone Fish
Laboratory. .
The remainder of small, private systems in the County, and most
individual supplies, are from ground water sources.
Several problems currently exist with respect to ground water. Where
peat bogs exist, in recharge areas or around aquifers, the organic
material tends to make the water slightly acid. The acidity enables the
water to dissolve minerals, therefore the water has excessive mineral
content, notable iron. In order to have satisfactory drinking water,
expensive treatment is often necessary. This problem commonly exists
in the Tri-Area vicinity.
A second ground water problem arises when excessive pumping of
limited supplies is conducted near shoreline areas. Freshwater wells
turn brackish as salt water intrudes in the ground water aquifer. During
summer, due to an influx of seasonal residents and increased use of
water for garden purposes, this problem often is more acute.
- As the population of eastern Jefferson County continues to increase, an
obvious need exists for- a comprehensive study of local ground water
resources. Until such a study is conducted and a plan formulated for
ground water development, water supplies will continue to be a

In 1976 a marine resource inventory was performed throughout
Jefferson County. As a result of this study, the distribution of marine
organisms and their habitats were mapped, and are available for review
in the Jefferson County Planning and Building Department. One
element mapped, the Bivalve Mollusks, includes subtidal hardshell
clams, intertidal clams, and geoducks, potential Pacific oyster
cultching areas , Pacific oyster optimal spawn areas, and oyster
infestation areas. Another element, the Crustacean, includes the
distribution of crab and shrimp. Surf smelt,' true cod, English sole, and
herring spawn areas are depicted on an additional map.
These upland activities have important impact on these marine
resource areas. For example, the leaching of septic tank effluent or
siltation caused by soil excavation may disrupt or degrade marine
habitats. These habitats are important food producers locally,
nationally, and internationally. Therefore, the preservation of these
marine resources by proper planning is critical. The Water Quality
section of the Planning Department, and the Jefferson County Health
Department take active roles in preservation of water quality, its
enhancement, and education of the public. Also providing leadership
in water quality is the puget Sound Water Quality Authority and the
Hood Canal Coordinating Council. The Department of Ecology,
through the Centennial Clean Water Act, has provided grant monies to
Jefferson County for Water Quality Management and Storm Water
Management.
In Port Townsend, the Marine Science Center at Fort Worden State Park
enhances awareness of marine ecology through school programs, live
animal displays, slide shows, films, and lectures.

The only plan currently in existence is the Coordinated Water System
Plan, developed in 1989. This plan identified public water systems and
their boundaries in the County, and procedures for systems outside of
the defined boundaries 4.
COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND SERVICES
Water Supply Systems: As described in the previous section, the
Olympic Gravity Water System is eastern Jefferson County's main
community water facility. Its primary service area is the City of Port
Townsend and the communities of Port Hadlock, Irondale, and
Chimacum.
Three small public water districts have been formed in Paradise Bay,
Coyle, and Rocky Point. The balance of County residents beyond the
Olympic Gravity Water System and the various water districts rely either
on individual wells, or small private community systems.
The Jefferson County P.U.D. NO.1 operates several systems
throughout the County at: Glen Cove, Glen Cove South, Hastings Loop
South, Gardiner, Triton Cove, Lazy C. Currently under design is a
system at Bywater Bay.
Sewage Disposal Systems: Currently there are seven sanitary sewage
systems in the County, although some are for special purpose use and
are not available for public domestic disposal. Existing systems
include those located at the City of Port Townsend, the Port Townsend
Paper Company mill, Port Ludlow, Indian Island (U.S. Navy), The U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service's laboratory at Marrowstone Island,
QueetsjClearwater, and Cape George.
Nearly all residents in the unincorporated area of the County rely upon
conventional septic tanks and drainfields. Problems regarding soil
suitability for septic tanks indicate that future, intensive residential

development may be required to provide sanitary sewer systemsJ or
newJ innovative sewage disposal units rather than conventional septic
tanks.
Electric Power: The eastern portion of Jefferson County is serviced
primarily by puget Sound Power and Light Company. Mason County
P.U.D. serves the community~ of Brinnon from a point south of Mount
Walker. ClaHam County P.U.D. and GrayJs Harbor P.U.D. provide
service to the residents of west Jefferson County.
There are approximately 10J200 users presently being served by the
Puget Sound Power and Light Company. Mason County P.U.D.
services 1,200 users in the southern portion of eastern Jefferson
County.
Telephone: Telephone service is provided by the l).S. West and United
Telephone Companies. The U.S. West service area is divided into two
regions, the Port Townsend and the Port Ludlow regions. As of
SeptemberJ 1989J .there were 7,141 active services in the Port
Townsend area, and 1,305 in the Port Ludlow area for a total of 8A46
services. United TelephoneJ currently providing service to the
remainder of eastern Jefferson County, currently has 2,062 active
access lines. Pacific Telecom provides service to the Clearwater
vicinity on the West End.
Schoot.s_: There are eleven schools in the CountyJs five school districts:
six grade schools, one intermediate schOOJ one junior high, and three
high schools. Peninsula College, a community college which has its
main campus in Port Angeles, maintains a Learning Laboratory in Port
Townsend, and offers limited class selection for seniors and night
students. The nearest four:, year colleges are located to the east, across
Puget Sound.
CuJturafand Recreational Activities: Port Townsend is the focal point
for cultural activities in the County and on the Peninsula. The City is
rich in its architectural heritage and engaging history. Many historic
sites and buildings have been restoredJ and there are a number of
museums. In 1972 the Washington State Arts Commission declared
Fort Worden a State-wide center for arts and recreation. Programs

coordinated by Centrum 5 at the Fort include performance of plays,
music festivals, workshops, and seminars for writers, dancers, and
musicians. Extensive renovation to the Fort's balloon hangar was
begun in 19896. When this work is complete, the structure will be
dedicated as a performing arts center.
In addition to the recreationali facilities and historic sites at Fort Worden,
the County is blessed with many natural resources which
accommodate a variety of recreational pursuits including fishing,
hunting, shellfish harvesting, sailing, hiking, camping, bicycling, and
horseback riding. Park and recreation facilities are operated by the
City, County, State, and federal government, and the Port of Port
Townsend. The constantly increasing recreational activity in the area is
testimony that Jefferson County's diversity of natural resources are-
some of the finest in the area.
Libraries: The Carnegie Library in Port Townsend was built ,in 1913.
Completed in June 1990, an extensive renovation and expansion
project was funded by a State grant, corporate, public and private
donations. The fIVe members of the Board of Trustees are appointed by
the Mayor and City Council, and serve five year terms. The library has
an active and supportive "Friends of the Library".
The Jefferson County 'Rural Library District was established by voters in
1978, to provide library services to the unincorportated areas of the
County. Operating funds are provided by a levy on property within the
County (excepting the City of Port Townsend). The five members of the
Board of Trustees are appointed for five year terms by the County
Commissioners. The library is located in Port Hadlock. A bookmobile
provides regular library services to the outlying areas of the County.
Contracts with neighboring library districts provide library services to
West End residents.
In 1978 the voters of Jefferson County established a rural library
"Centrum was estabIlshed In 1973, and Is a nonprofit organization Iocafed at Fort Worden Slate Park that sponsolS an array of

district, approving a levy to provide library service to the residents of
unincorporated areas in Jefferson County. In 1985, a 5,000 square foot
library building was constructed in Port Hadlock. The County library
operates one Bookmobile, which serves the eastern portion of the
County, while the West End is served, under contract, by neighboring
library districts.

Human Resource Services: The Clallam-Jefferson County Community
Action Council (C.A.C.) has objectives aimed at serving a broad
spectrum of human resource needs. Among C.A.C.'s goals are
vocational training, job counselling, educational growth for low income
families, expansion of low cost housing, provision of emergency
shelters, attention to problems of Indian-Americans, improvement of
nutrition for senior citizens and low income families, provision .of better
health services for low income persons, improvement of income
opportunities for senior citizens, staffing and operation of a Head Start
program for culturally disadvantaged children, and operation of the
Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). Head Start, the nutrition
program, and RSVP are among the more noticeable programs currently
in operation. A sizable share of the work done by C.A.C. is done on a
volunteer basis.
In January and February, 1987, C.A.C. conducted a needs assessment
survey. The results of this survey were published in a detailed report
available through Community Action Council.
Public Transportation: Jefferson Transit operates a local transit system
in eastern Jefferson County. Services include connections with Clallam
Transit in Sequim, Kitsap Transit in Poulsbo, and Greyhound Lines (to
Seattle and Port Angeles) in Port Ludlow. Additional services include
Dial-A-Ride, vanpools, local freight delivery, Greyhound agency (tickets
and freight), charter buses, and carpool assistance. Key City Transport
provides taxi service in Port Townsend and the Tri-Area.
Health Care: County medical services are centered in two clinics in
Port Townsend, where approximately ten physicians maintain
practices. In additional, other physicians maintain private offices within
Port Townsend and other unincorporated areas of the County.
Jefferson General Hospital in Port Townsend is the only hospital in the

County. Each Fire District within the County has its own aid car and
qualified Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT), except for District 6,
Cape George, which maintains a mutual aid agreement with the City of
Port Townsend Fire District for aid car and EMT services. A private
nursing home also operated in the City of Port Townsend.
Out patient offices are maintained in the City by the Jefferson County
Health service. Jefferson County Human Services includes mental
health, counselling, and drug and alcohol abuse program services.
Airport Services: Air transportation is accommodated through
Jefferson County International Airport and a number of private airstrips.
The County's airport is publicly owned and operated by the Port of Port
Townsend. Located approximately five miles south of the City .of Port
Townsend, the airport was acquired by the County in 1947 and
transferred to the Port District in 1959. The County. Airport serves as a
base for 56 aircraft. An airplane charter service functions from the
airport, with operations that ext~nd from Canada to Oregon. Facilities
at Jefferson County Airport include a 3,200 foot runway, an industrial
site, four hangars, and aviation fuel facilities. A new paved and
widened runway ftaxiway system is scheduled for completion in 1990.
Port Facilities: After the decline of the clipper ship days, docking
facilities for large ships gradually decayed in Port Townsend. The
major deep water off-loading facility is located at the Port Townsend
Paper Mill. At present the Port of Port Townsend harbor facilities
accommodate moorage for pleasure craft and fishing vessels. Other
Port facilities include Quilcene Boat Haven, Point Hudson, Mats Mats
Boat Launch, Gardiner Boat Launch, Port Hadlock Boat Launch, and
the Quincy Street Dock. The Port rents to the public moorage for 540
commercial and recreational vessels, and makes available marine fuel,
haul-out facilities for vessels up to 70 tons, and dry boat storage for
over 160 vessels.

which have been vested by the State.
The Board of County Commissioners is both the legislative and
executive branch of Jefferson County government. It is the County
Commissioners who adopt official County plans, policies, ordinances,
and regulations. Three County Commissioners represent individual
districts of equally divided PQPUlation, but who are elected by voters
from the entire County. They serve four-year terms of office. The
Commissioners are assisted by their appointed departments: Planning
and Building ,Public Works, and Health.
Another vital part of County government are the services provided by
the staffs of the other elected officials: Auditor, Assessor, Sheriff, Court
Clerk, Treasurer, and Prosecuting Attorney. Although these County
officials are independently elected, the Board of County
Commissioners maintains a continuity in County g~vernment by being
the executive focal point and by their authority over the County budget.
Advisory Committees: Of increasing importance to effective County
government are the non-salaried citizen advisory committees
appointed by the Board of County Commissioners.
The Jefferson County Planning Commission is comprised of nine
citizen members, appointed for 4-year terms and equally representing
the three County Commissioners' districts. Legally constituted in
accordance ,with the State Planning Enabling Act, the Planning
Commission advises the Board of County Commissioners regarding
proposed land subdivisions, mobile home parks, road vacations, and
campground clubs. The Planning Commission is the major policy
advisor to the County Commissioners with respect to the County
Comprehensive Plan and land dev~lopment. The Planning
Commission is staffed by the County Planning Department.
The Shoreline Management Advisory Commission (S.M.A.C.) is a
group of citizens appointed by the Board of County Commissioners for
3-year terms, who are required to have geographic diversity with
respect to their place or residence in the County. The Commission's
major responsibility is to advise the County Commissioners regarding
specific proposed shoreline development projects. In addition,

8.M.A.C. is the primary policy-advisor with respect to marine resources
and the integrity of the Jefferson County Shoreline Management Master
Program. The S.M.A.C. is staffed by the County Planning Department.
The Solid Waste Advisory Committee (S.W.A.C.) is a legislatively
mandated body composed of nine members appointed by the Board of
County Commissioners. S.W.A.C. terms are for two year periods. The
S.W.A.C. is charged with updating the Solid Waste Management Plan,
and the Hazardous Waste Management Plan. It also makes
recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners in matters of
fee structure, recycling and waste reduction planning, and solid waste
handling. The S.W.A.C. is staffed by the County Public Works
Department, and the County Health Department.
The Parks Advisory Board (P.A.B.) is appointed by the County
Commissioners for varying terms of one, two, or th~ee years,
determined by lot. The P.A.B. updates the Parks Comprehensive Plan,
and makes recommendations to the County Commission on issues of
land acquisition, parks development and planning, recreation planning,
and fee structure. The P.A.B. is staffed by members of the County
Public Works Department, the County Planning and Building
Department, the County Recreation Department, the Port of Port
Townsend, and the City of Port Townsend.
School Districts: There are five school districts in Jefferson County
serving Port Townsend, Chimacum, Quilcene, Brinnon, and
Queets/Clearwater. Each district is governed by a school board
composed of five persons who serve four-year terms once elected.
School board members must be registered voters and be residents of
the school district in which they serve. The boards set operational
policy and employ a staff of teachers and administrators to provide an
educational program for the children that live in the district. They must
adhere to State law and the rules and regulations established by the
State Board of Education. All school districts in Jefferson County are
presently accredited by the State Board of Education.
Local school districts are assisted in carrying out their responsibilities
by Educational Service District #114. E.S.D. #114 is essentially a
regional school office serving Jefferson, Clallam, Kit~ap, and North

Mason Counties. The headquarters are located in Bremerton.
Fire Protection Districts: There are currently six fire districts in
Jefferson County: Chimacum/Marrowstone, Quilcene, Brinnon, Port
Ludlow, Discovery Bay, and Quimper Peninsula/Cape George. Fire
districts are created by a vote" of the people' within district boundaries
for, as State law authorizes, lIThe elimination of fire hazards and for the
protection of life and property in territories outside of cities. II Each
district is governed by three resident, non-salaried, elected
commissioners who serve for six-year terms. The fire-fighting teams
are comprised of local volunteers. Community support through tax
revenues and by participation in fire district fund-raising activities is
very important to the success of the various fire districts.
Water Districts: There are three water districts in Jefferson County
which were created by a vote of the people within ttle district
boundaries: Coyle, Paradise Bay, and Rocky Point. State law specified
that water districts are for the dllacquisition, construction, maintenance,
operation, development, and regulation of a water supply system and
providing additions and betterments thereto.lI Three commissioners
serve the various districts.
Sewer Districts: There is presently one sewer district in Jefferson
County: the Cape George Sewer District. The sanitary sewer system in
Port Townsend is operated by the City, and a system at Port Ludlow is
owned and operated by Pope and Talbot Development Company, Inc.
Drainage Districts: The only existing drainage district in Jefferson
County is Chimacum District #1. Although its governing body is by law
a board of three commissioners each serving a six-year term, District
#1 presently has no elected board.
Hospital Districts: There are two hospital districts in Jefferson County.
District #1 serves western Jefferson County and District #2 is
responsible for the operation of Jefferson General Hospital in Port
Townsend.
Hospital districts are empowered by state law 'lito own and operate
hospitals, nursing homes, extended care, outpatient, and rehabilitative

facilities, contiguous with or thin such facilities or hospitals, and
ambulances, and to supply hospital, nursing home, extended care,
outpatient, rehabilitative, health maintenance, and 8111bulance service
for residents of such districts and other persons, provided that hospital
districts will not construct nursing homes when such facilities are
already available.
The hospital districts are each governed by five elected commissioners
who serve for 6-year terms.
Public Healtb~Department: The Jefferson County Health Department
provides its services to both the City of Port Townsend and the
unincorporated area of Jefferson County. Primary responsibility of the
department is related to public health and ,environmental health.
Among the Health Department's environmental health responsibilities
are the issuance of septic tank permits, the testing of public and private
wells for water quality, restaurant and food service Inspections,
subdivision review, and site evaluation. Some of the Department's
public health responsibilities include immunization, nursing,
registration of vital statistics, education, and community health care.
Port Districts: The Port of Port Townsend is the only port district in
Jefferson County and has County-wide boundaries. Port districts are
created by law as "municipal corporations" of the State. They are often
referred to as "special purpose districts", unlike counties, cities, and
towns which are IIgeneral purpose corporationsll because they have
general governmental authority in all matters of public concern. Almost
all powers of a port district are vested in a board of commissioners. In
Washington State, most ports have 3 commissioners. All serve six-year
terms. The commissioners are elected from three separate
commissioner districts within the port district.
The Port Commission is responsible for making the policies and
decisions of the district. Such policies or decisions involve adoption of
plans, establishing positions and setting employment policies,
purchasing or disposing of real estate and other property, setting rates,
adopting budgets, and levying taxes.
The Port Commission sets the policies that guide the development,

growth, and operation of all the port's facilities and functions.
"
Port Districts are authorized by law to develop many types of facilities to
provide a variety of services. Most easily identified are the various
transportation-related amenities and those dealing with direct
economic development and recreational boating.
The Port of Port Townsend was established by a vote of the residents of
Jefferson County in 1924. The port's boundaries are contiguous with
those of the County. The largest facilities owned and operated by the
Port are the Port Townsend Boat Haven and the Jefferson County
International Airport. Other Port facilities include: Quilcene Boat
Haven, Point Hudson, Mats Mats boat launch, Port Hadlock boat
launch, Gardiner Boat Launch, and Quincy Street Dock.
Revenues for the Port come from several sources. The primary source
of operating revenue is in the form of user fees generated by Port
facilities, including the Port Townsend and Quilcene Boat Havens, the
airport, and leased properties. Another source is a portion of the tax
levy allocated to operations. Non-operating ,revenue is derived from
general obligation bonds, disposition of assets, interest income, and
the local timber harvest tax bond.
Industrial Development Districts: Port Resolution 194 created an
Industrial Development District in Eastern Jefferson County, under the
provisions of RCW Chapter 53.25. This resolution has never been
implemented.
Public Utility Di$trict: There is one P.U.D. in Jefferson County which
has been created by a vote of the people, and its jurisdiction is County-
wide. A public utility district's purpose according to state law is lito
conserve the water and power resources of the State of Washington for
the benefits of the people thereof, and to supply public utility service,
including water and electricity for all uses. II Three commissioners, who
must be residents and freeholders, serve 6-year terms and represent
sub-districts whose boundaries are identical to those of the Jefferson
County Board of Commissioners.

After Port Townsend's founding in 1852 (prior to Seattle, Tacoma,
Olympia, Vancouver, Walla Walla, and most other Washington cities),
the initial population surge was involved with lumber production to
serve the rapidly growing San Francisco Bay area. Port Townsend's
location was logical for this activity for two reasons: first, there were
abundant supplies of excellemt timber close to the shorelines, making
the lumber relatively easy to transport. Second, Port Townsend's
position at the eastern end of the Strait of Juan de Fuca meant that it
was closer to San Francisco than any of the other cities in the Puget
Sound area. Because Port Townsend was strategically situated at the
doorway to the Northwest, it became the Port of Entry for the Customs
District of puget Sound in 1854, and the area's future seemed to be
quite bright. Port Ludlow and Port Hadlock became sawmill towns, and
mills were also added at Point Hudson, Port Townsend, Discovery Bay,
and Chimacum Creek. In addition, ship building, canneries, farming,
breweries, and the Irondale Foundry all flourished. . But during this
period a dramatic change was taking place in the nation's
transportation system. The rapid expansion of railroads in other parts
of the country was destined to playa major role in the development of
the cities surrounding Puget Sound. During this early period, there was
almost feverish enthusiasm for the addition of rail lines, and the
competition for them among the growing cities of the Northwest was
tremendous.
Jefferson County experienced its first big swell of high expectations in
1871 when it was rumored that Northern Pacific would build an
extension of its line from the Columbia River to Port Townsend Bay.
The proposed extension died with the recession of the mid-1870's.
Business activity picked up again in the late 1870's, and a group of
local businessmen formed a group to attract financing for a railroad line
from Portland to Port Townsend. A speculation boom hit the town in
1889, and the following year it was announced that a subsidiary of
Union Pacific Railroad would build the desired line. In response to this
announcement, and in anticipation of the surge of economic activity
which would surely follow the addition of rail transportation, the area
experienced a fantastic boom. Population levels soared, and
construction began on a number of two- and three-storY brick buildings

on Water Street. The facilities in the town were designed to
accommodate an eventual population of 20,000 persons. Similar
preparation was taking place in the Port Hadlock-Jrondale area.
In 1895 the subsidiary of Union Pacific went broke, the local economy
crashed, real estate values plummeted, businesses closed down, and
people left in droves. Without a railroad investment, capital bypassed
Port Townsend and went to the growing cities on the east side of the
Sound. Port Townsend's relatively isolated position on the Olympic
Peninsula, and its lack of rail facilities, were among the primary reasons
that other cities were more successful in attracting business and
industry .
Port Townsend and Jefferson County's location was again the.cause of
the next major growth period, the construction and occupation of Fort
Worden and Fort Flagler. These forts were located at the east end of the
Strait of Juan de Fuca to protect the entrance to puget Sound and the
Navy Base at Bremerton. The activity generated by these instaUations
helped put the County back on its economic feet. But after the end of
World War I, the second major exodus from the area occurred as troop
levels at the bases dwindled, and sawmills, fisheries, and canneries
failed.
In 1927 construction began on what is now the Port Townsend Paper
Company's craft paper mill. Since its beginning, the mill has been the
County's largest non-government employer, and has had a stabilizing
influence on the County's economy.
During World War II the number of troops at Fort Worden again
increased, and the population of both the City and the County hit its
heretofore all-time high in the late 1940's. However, in 1951 Fort
Worden was closed and all military personnel were pulled out. This
resulted in the third major decline in the business activity and
population of Jefferson County. Between 1950 and 1960 the County
lost about 2,000 people, declining from 11,618 to 9,629. The following
ten years showed an increase to a total of 10,661 in 1970, rising to
15,965 in 1980. The County population in 1987 was 18,100 people, and

is estimated to be 21 J200 in 1990. 7 It should also be noted that the
presence of the Navy base at both Indian Island and Bangor (location of
the Trident Nuclear Submarine Base) has an impact upon employment
and population (resource usage) within the County. If current trends in
world politics continueJ it is possible that a reduction in military
bases/personnel could occur.
,
Jefferson CountyJs location' on the Olympic Peninsula, separated from
the population centers on the east side of the County by the natural
barriers of Hood Canal and Puget Sound, and without rail transportation
to move raw materials and finished products, has resulted in relatively
few manufacturing plant locations in the County.
Employment: No information exists on the Jefferson County lC\bor force
prior to 1966. Before that year the State Employment Security
Department considered Jefferson and ClaJlam Counties to be one labor
market area, and did no separate the data for the tWo counties.
Available data reveals that while employment increased slightly in the
1960's, it decreased in the early 1970Js due primarily to the closing of
the Youth Treatment Center at Fort Worden and fewer jobs at the Port
Townsend Paper Mill. Unemployment remained a persistent problem
during the 1970Js, but by the late-1980's had subsided somewhat, and
in 1986 was on a par with the statewide level 01'8.2%. This can be
attributed to the growth of service industries, the marine trades
industry, and the growing importance of tourism in Jefferson County.
Summer unemployment figures are generally lower than State
percentages, however J winter rates are higher.

Council ,8 of Jefferson County's Demographic and Employment
Characteristics Report of January, 1988.

and its largest overall employer. ,Over 50% of all employment in
manufacturing is accounted for by the mill, located south of Port
Townsend city limits. Employment at the mill exceeds 400 persons,
and although its importance as a major employer has declined slightly
in the past decade, it still accounts for the largest percentage of total
wages paid in Jefferson County.
Government Employment: Governments, including federal, state, and
local, are responsible for about 750 jobs. The current level represents
an increase of approximately 200 jobs in the last ten years. These
figures include the U.S. Navy personnel at Indian Island, and
employees of the hospital and school districts number 49 and 50.
Trade and Services Employment: Both of these sectors have shown
steady growth, accounting for the largest gains in total numbers of jobs
and also in terms of percentage growth. Although Increases in these
categories are part of a national trend, the effect may be accelerated in
Jefferson County because of the growing importance of tourism and
retirement.
Agricultural' Employment: Agriculture accounts for less than ten
percent of the labor force, and no significant changes, other than a
gradual decline of full-time farm employees, are anticipated.
POPULATION 9
Density: Jefferson County's population density is approximately ten
persons per square mile. While the County's population density is low,
it is adjacent to the two most densely populated counties in the state,
King and Kitsap, a short distance across the waters of Hood Canal and
Puget Sound.
Distribution : Approximately one-third of the County's 1987 (6,550 of
18,100) population live in the City of Port Townsend. Roughly 93% live
in the eastern portion of the County, which includes the City of Port
Townsend, and the balance of the population lives in the West End.

Age Characteristics : Although no census data is available for the years

percentage of retired and elderly population is continuing. For the
period between 1980 and 1986>> Jefferson County was the fastest
growing county in the state for this age group>> experiencing a 4.6%
increase. Also, a new trend is believed to be developing, which is the
growing number of people in the 18 to 35 age group who have come to
this area because of the physiography>> climate>> culture, and history.
Many newcomers in this age bracket are self-employed writers, artists,
or craftpersons, and their contribution to the local ~nomy is therefore
not reflected in the emplOyment statistics. A portion of the group is
composed of "refugees" from urban areas who have come to the
County as part of the back to the land movement. This trend is also
expected to increase.

Minority Group Population: In 1980, the largest minority group in the
County was the American Indian/Native American group, which
amounted to 440 personsJ or just under 3% of the total population. The
next largest group was Asian with 104 personsJ followed by Blacks with
40. Others accounted for 97. Caucasians comprised the largest share
of the population, 15,284 persons. Of this grouPJ 204 were of Hispanic
descent.
Income: Per capita income in 1986 in Jefferson County averaged
$10A~, thirty percent below the State level of $15,07510. This disparity
may be attributed to the lack of diversity in the Count(s employment
base, and the relatively low proportion of white-collar type jobs.
Socia-economic Indicators: All residents of Jefferson County do not
share equally in the areaJs economic benefits. It is difficult to correctly
gauge the magnitude of impoverishment in Jefferson County: the only
available statistics on the extent of poverty come from the 1980 census.
At that time, 17.7% of the population lived at 125% of the poverty IineJ
and 12.9% (2,018) at or below the poverty line.
Approximately one of every five County residents is a recipient of some
form of Social Security benefit and the proportion is increasingJ
reflecting the large and growing number of retirees.

CHAPTER 4
INVENTORY
Jefferson County contains many park and recreational assets.
Approximately three-fourths of the 1 ,805 square miles of land area in
the County is in public ownership. Much of this publicly owned land
can be used for recreational purposes. The two largest are Olympic
National Park and Olympic National Forest. Of the 117 recreational
areas found in the County, 34 are locally managed: 20 by Jefferson
County, 7 by the City of Port Townsend, and 7 by the Port of Port
Townsend.
"Appendix B" provides an inventory of park, recreation, and open space
assets by managing entities (City, County, Port, St~te, federal, private,
and special interest) as well as a site-by-site breakdown. uAppendix C"
is a summary of park, recreation, and open space assets by type
(camping, picnicking, etc.).
The Jefferson County Recreation Department conducts organized
recreational activities for the eastern portion of the County. The
department is co-sponsored by the County and the City of Port
Townsend, providing a continually expanding variety of activities and
instruction for all ages. Programs currently provided include skiing,
baseball, basketball, volleyball, hiking, swimming, exercise, and
bicycling.
The following provides an inventory 1 of park and recreation resources in
various communities (Planning Areas 2). The Planning Area concept is a
logical framework from which the citizens of an area and the County
may jointly develop plans and action programs to meet the needs of
residents in specific communities.

Outstanding features of the County include its diverse, lengthy
shoreline (170 miles) and the scenic Olympic Mountains. Although
there is only one incorporated city, Port Townsend, other
unincorporated areas, in Port Hadlock, Quilcene and Brinnon are
rapidly growing and developing a more urban identity. "Cluster"
communities exist throughout the County, and although they are
primarily inhabited by retiredl residents, many younger members of the
County are moving into them. The unincorporated areas as well as the
cluster communities are generally separated by distance, and in some
cases considerable "open space", primarily in the form of timber
stands. Certain of the cluster communities, such as Port ludlow, which
is also a private resort, have private boating and recreational facilities
for their members. Other cluster communities, such as Cape George,
provide private water access and boat launch facilities, but not a
recreational facility. In general, most of the population look to the
County to provide facilities and programs. In accomplishing this, the
County provides community centers in Port Townsend, Tri-Area (Port
Hadlock, Irondale, Chimacum), Quilcene, Gardiner, and a Senior
Center in Brinnon. Recreational programming is provided through the
Recreation Department 3.
Due to its numerous shoreline miles, many recreational activities are
water and water-access related. However, very few miles (less than
1 %)of shoreline are publically owned. large state facilities at Fort
Worden, Fort Townsend and Fort Flagler' provide substantial access,
and diverse activities such as hiking, beachcombing, boating and
camping. The location of Fort Worden within the city limits also
provides for auditorium needs, and cultural and artistic programs. The
recently renovated Port Townsend Community can adequately provide
for community programs as well as recreational programs (the County
Recreation Department is housed in the facility). As the population
increases within the city, the needs for a more adequate indoor
swimming pool and additional playing fields is increasing.
In the "Tri-Areall, where population is increasing at the most rapid rate,
the local community center is becoming inadequate, with few

recreational programs provided for youth. With its close proximity to
Chimacum School (grades 1-12), some recreation needs are being met
by the school district. Many of the needs are not, and consequently,
the demand for a recreation facility with a swimming pool and other
programs is increasing. Although there are several playing fields within
the area, some are in poor repair, and others lack programs and
restroom facilities. Although ithere is a community center in Quilcene, it
does not provide recreational facilities. Tennis courts at the facility are
frequently in use by tourists, and tennis courts at Quilcene School are
in disrepair. As the Brinnon area grows, the need for a more
community-oriented center is developing. The Coyle community has
established its own Park and Recreation District, and has approached
the County for assistance in building a Community Center. Other
outlying areas of the County, such as Gardiner, Shine, Paradise and
Center, must frequently travel large distances to use swimming pool
facilities, or to participate in recreational programs.
Tourists place a large demand on camping, boating and hiking
facilities 4. All areas of the County experience a heightened population
and facilities' demand during the Summer season, and this is also the
time when school-aged children are frequently unoccupied. Due to the
distance between communities, as noted above, and the presence of
County and State park facilities throughout the County, the County
would be well-served by an interconnected system of trails to
communities, parks and open space. The presence of many bicyclists
and pedestrians along the roadways identifies the strong need for both
safe bicycle pathways along the roads, as well as a trail system.

CHAPTER 5
PARK AND RECREATION DEMANDS, NEEDS AND PRIORITIES
Park and Recreation demands are determined by assessing the public
opinion through surveys, public workshops and public hearings. Park
and Recreation needs are determined in a number of ways, including a
set of standards, as shown in The Comprehensive Park and Recreation
Plan Development Workbook 1.
POPULATION ANALYSIS
Growth: As discussed in Chapter 2, Jefferson County is growing
rapidly. From a 1980 population of 15,965, the number of Jefferson
County inhabitants will have grown to an estimated 21,219 by the 1990
census 2. .
This increase in population can be attributed to three major factors: (1)
the continued immigration of retirees, (2) the immigration of people
seeking refuge from more densely populated urban centers, and (3) an
influx of residents associated with economic growth and development
in Jefferson County and adjacent counties.
Apart from increases to the resident population of Jefferson County,
substantial increases in vacation homes, tourism 3, and other out-of
county visitors has been noted since 1970.
Settlement Patterns: In terms of location, population growth is
expected to generally follow existing patterns of development. Based
upon a detailed analysis of development trends, it is evident that growth
will continue to concentrate near the shorelines or waterfront or water
view property. The areas which will most likely experience an

Marrowstone Island, Port Ludlow, Oak Bay, Mats Mats Bay, Shine-
Termination Point, Squamish Harbor, Port Townsend, Cape George
and the Quimper Peninsula, Quilcene, and Brinnon.
REGIONAL RECREATIONAL DEMAND
It is evident that the demand of Jefferson County park and recreational
facilities will come from MANY sectors 4: (1) county residents,
(2)tourists en route to other recreational areas, including the Olympic
National Park and National Forest, Clallam County recreational
facilities, Vancouver Island and other scenic areas in Canada, (3)
recreational enthusiasts including hikers, sportsmen, bicyclists,
campers, beachcombers who come to visit the many state parks,
especially Fort Worden, Fort Aagler, and the many county parks,and to
travel the miles of scenic highways.
The needs of the majority of recreationalists can be met by local
government. The regional or out-of..county demand for park,
recreation, and open space facilities can create serious financial
demand on the County and special taxing districts which are primarily
intended to serve the needs of local residents. The normal regional
park demand experienced in Jefferson County will be dramatically
accelerated. By the expected population increase and concomitant
residential and industrial development, and the continuously
accelerating , tourist influx, not just in Jefferson County, but in its
neighboring counties as well. These needs will require assistance from
state and federal park and recreation agencies and the private sector.
e.U.BUC OPJN,ON SURVEY
In November and December of 1989 a county-wide park and recreation
survey5 was circulated to Jefferson County residents selected at
random with equal numbers selected from each commissioner district.

if at all, do you think that existing recreation offerings might be
improved? , most responses centered around more publicity, better
maintenance, more usage of school facilities, better transportation for
youth, better playground equipment, addressing the skateboard issues,
more varied programs (non-sport)for youth, trail systems and a multi
purpose facility outside the city limits and swimming pool issues. For
Question 9, Do you have any other comments about your interests
in recreation in your local area of Jefferson County? responses were
quite varied, with many concerned with trails, skateboarding, pool, and

The next section of the survey concerned itself with demographics. We
then, as our final page, asked for general comments. The general
comments, were, of course, varied. Many people offered concerns
about drug usage, helping those less fortunate, the economic
environment of the county, requests for more senior programs,
concerns about clear cutting ~and logging practices, desire for large
parcels of public property, access to fresh and salt waters, additional
youth and adult recreational activities.

PUBLIC WORKSHOPS AND MEETINGS COi\4MENTS
Complete text of the public workshops and hearings is attached as ,
Appendix F. Comments from the workshops and hearings has been
incorporated in the Demands by Planning' Area section of this chapter.
NEED
Typically, needs for park and recreation services are based on models
and standards of the industry, usually for large cities or urban settings.
The I.A.C. also provides local recreation standards 8. Jefferson County
being a lightly populated rural county with approximately three-fourths
of its land area in public ownership, large areas of undeveloped private
lands, and miles of shorelines, does not fit well into standard statistical
models.
7ed.note:the fishing dock at Lake Leland Is the property of the Washington State Department of WlIdlife, and Is under the
management of Jefferson County.

In comparing the state model standards 9 from the lAC with the current .
Jefferson County facilities, we find:
Play Lots:
Standard: 1 /4 acre per 1000; 1 facility per 800.
Comment: No official IIplay lotsll are maintained by the
County,although there is playground equipment at Oak Bay Park
and at Quilcene Community Center.
Neighborhood Playground:
Standard: 1.5 acres per 1000; 1 facility per 3000.
Comment: The County has no designated playgrounds, although it
does provide play equipment at its Oak Bay Park. Due to the rural
nature of the majority of the County, the term "neighborhood" takes
on a different quality. Neighborhoods are often seen as geographic
areasJ such as Port Hadlock or Quilcene. As o~e of the demands
shown in the survey is for community parksJ and playground
equipmentJ the concept of neighborhood may be changing, and the
demand may be met by the "pocket parkll concept.
Baseball Diamonds:
Standard: 1 field per 6000.
Comment: The only field of regulation baseball diamond size is
located in the City of Port Townsend, at ,Memorial Field, and is a
County*owned facility, and would, consequently come close to
filling the city's need (city population is approximately 7000). There
are two other baseball diamonds of Little League size, located in
Port Hadlock at Seagull Field, and in Quilcene at the Quilcene Little
League facility.
Softball Diamonds:
Standard: 1 field per 3000.
Comment: There is one regulation size softball field at Memorial
Field in the City of Port Townsend. There are two Little League size
fields located at the Fairgrounds (also County..ownedJ and inside the
Port Townsend city limits) and two Little League size fields at the
Quilcene Little League facility J and three Little League fields at Port
"Note: when making these comparisons, we have not compared 'AccesslpIIIty" (distance from every home).

Hadlock at Seagull Field, and one Little League field at frondale
Park.
Neighborhood Parks:
Standard: 1 acre per 1000.
Comment: Parks which cO,uld qualify as neighborhood parks are
IrondaleJ ChimacumJ Oaki Bay, QuilceneJ East Beach, Hicks and
Quilcene River Parks. However, these parks are used frequently by
tourists as well as local people, some of whom drive considerable
distance to use boat launch facilities, etc. For example, in the
geographic compilation of facility usage, many residents of Cape
George (which has no community park in its vicinity) listed
Chetzemoka Park (inside Port Townsend) as their second most
frequently used facility;with their first 11)0st frequently used facility
the Port Townsend Boat Haven; their third was the Fairgrounds.
This may lead us to assume that we are not providing a necessary
recreational element, i.e. a community or neighborhood park. The
value of the geographic information will lead us to be able to predict
which areas require priority for community or neighborhood parks.
Recreation Centers:
Standard: 1 facility per 4OJooo.
Comment: Jefferson County maintains Community Centers at Port
Townsend (location of the Jefferson County Recreation
Department)J Quilcene, Gardiner, Tri-Area, and a Senior Center at
Brinnon, and is currently studying the feasibility of a Coyle
Community Center. As the county provides the recreational
planning for the city, most recreational activities for youth take place
within the city limits. However, the Quilcene, Tri-Area, Gardiner and
Brinnon areas also provide a variety of recreational activities.
Auditorium:
Standard: 1 facility per 50,000.
Comment: An auditorium that the county. has participated in the
funding of, is currently under construction at Fort Worden State
Park.
Major Park:
Standard: 4 acres per 1000;1 facility per 40,000.

Comments: With the exception of the Fairgrounds (32 acres) and
Oak Bay Park (31 acres), all other county parks are under 10 acres
(each) 'in size. However, the close proximity of the Olympic National
Park, and Olympic National Forest is of major benefit.
Regional or County Parks:
Standard: 10 acres per 1000.
Comment: The county maintains eleven (11) parks distributed
throughout the county. However, with the exception of the
Fairgrounds and Oak Bay Park, all of the County Parks are under 10
acres in size.
Environmental Areas:
Standard: 1 acre per 1000.
Comment: One center operates out of Fort Worden State Park: the
Marine Science Center.
Swimming Pool (Indoor) :
Standard: 1 facility per 10,000
Comment: One facility, located in the City of Port Townsend, and
owned by the School District. The Jefferson County Recreation
Department leases the facility from the School District. There is one
pool, shared by both lap swimmers, instructional classes, and
leisure swimmers.
Swimming Pool (Outdoor):
Standard: 1 facility per 40,000
Comment: No public facility available.
Tennis Courts:
Standard: 1 facility per 2000
Comment: The County currently maintains one tennis court in the
City of Port Townsend, and two tennis courts in Quilcene. Fort
Worden State Park has two tennis courts.

Standard: None given by the National Parks and Recreation
Association

I.A.C. in their Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan
Development Workbook, the facility need is included because
boating is the 5th highest recreation activity (54% participation) as
shown in the 1989 survey.
Needs Summary:
In Jefferson County, park and recreational "demands" and "needs" can
best be gauged by (a) an analysis of in-County population growth and
settlement patterns, (b) greater than local recreational demand, (c)
public opinion surveys and local workshop meetings, and (d)
comparison with the State standards.
In analyzing the needs as compared with the state standards, we find
deficiencies in particular in the smaller, localized parks, such as play
lots, neighborhood playgrounds, and neighborhood parks. This need
is also reflected in the survey response towards lI<X?mmunity parksll, in
which 49% of the respondents stated that community parks were liVery
Importantll.
Both baseball and softball diamonds are lacking, in terms of need.
Most of the fields are Little League, not regulation, in size. Cooperative
use of the School District facilities needs to be pursued, as well as a
study to determine where fields should be incorporated, or current
fields increased in size.
Auditorium and major park needs are well met in the County, with the
State facility at Fort Worden supplying auditorium space, and with the
Olympic National Park and National Forest supplying major park
facilities.
The need for an additional .swimming pool in the County has been
shown through the demand expressed in the survey, as well a public
workshops. The location of the only public pool in the County is in the
City of Port Townsend, and is inconvenient to potential users south of
the City . Tennis courts are also low in availability.
PRIORITIES
Several methods were used to prioritize facility acquisition,

development and programs within the planning process. First, public
input (via opinion survey, public workshops and citizen advisory board
meetings) established the dialogue for potential projects. The public
also focuses attention on those projects or concepts that were of
highest priority to them--as indicated in the survey--and also by keeping
discussion of particular projects alive.
Another step in prioritizing projects is the analysis of how any
expressed demands or needs conform to the mission, strategy and
policies of this document. Finally, the projects are scheduled for
implementation and a budget is established. An important factor in
designating projects is the future maintenance cost of any facility or
program. This last step is actually the product of public input guided by
the policies established by the Parks Advisory Board. The Parks
Advisory Board in recommending projects, and the Board of County
Commissioners in analyzing projects for funding p~rposes, should
consult the following criteria:
- Does the project/program reflect local demands and needs? This
may be done by local community surveys and by input of
community review boards.
- Does the project/program conform to the local community plan (if
any), County Comprehensive Plan, and to the Goal, Strategies,
Policies and Procedures section of the Parks Comprehensive
Plan?
- Does the project/program reflect the policies and goals of the
Washington State Comprehen~ive Outdoor Recreation Program
(SCORP) ?
- Have maintenance costs been projected?
- Does the project/program allow for future expansion as the
population or demand increases?
- Does the project/program serve the current local use estimates?
- Does the project/program promote conservation of natural

" Does the project/program reflect a reasonable distribution of
projects throughout the County?
- Does the project/program promote cooperation between local
governments?
" Does the acquisition project provide future recreation benefit?
" Can the project/program partially support itself through program
fees?
RECOMMENDATION.
It is recommended that a land acquisition rating system be developed
consistent with the goals and objectives of other planning documents.

GOAL, STRATEGY, POLICIES
AND PROCEDURES
GOAL
The goal of the Parks Comprehensive Plan, acting through Jefferson
County and the Parks Advisory Board, and in cooperation with the Port
of Port Townsend, the City of Port Townsend:
- To develop and maintain park and recreation facilities that are
responsive to the needs and interests of Jefferson County
residents.
STRATEGY
-- To develop a budget for park and recreation facilities which
recommends realistic funding for acquisition, maintenance and
operation within an equitable framework of taxation and which
reflects prudent fiscal management.
-- To actively seek public involvement through advisory boards,
workshops, and news releases.
-- To continually pursue cooperative efforts, joint project development,
and long range planning with other governmental agencies.
POLICIES
-- To use and preserve the many natural features of Jefferson County
which are available for park and recreation activities.
-- Park and recreation facilities should accommodate a diversity of
age,interest and ability groups.
-- The location, type and amount of park and recreation facilities
should be consistent with the needs and desires of citizens in the
area.

-- Park design and operation should deal with the impact such
activities have, not only within park boundaries, but on adjacent
properties and communities as well.
-- Park and recreation facilities should be located, designed, and
constructed compatible with natural features such as soils, geology,
topography, and shorelines resources.
-- Private enterprise should be encouraged to provide park and
recreation services. Publicly financed and operated facilities should
not be considered as the only method to. meeting recreational
demands.
-- Public park authorities should establish population limits for each
overnight park and should charge fees comme~surate with
commercial park fees for the combined purposes of providing
means for, payment of services and to eliminate the abuse that often
comes from "freell services.
-- Recreation facilities should make adequate provisions for (a) traffic,
both inside and outside the facility, (b) proper water, sewage and
garbage disposal methods, (c) law enforcement, (d) vehicular
parking, and (e) prevention of "activity overflow'l onto adjacent
properties.
-- Recreation facilities should make adequate provisions such as
screening, buffer strips, fences, and signs, to prevent park overflow
and to protect the value and enjoyment of 'adjacent or nearby private
or public properties.
-- Use of recreation facilities should emphasize preservation and
conservation and create an awareness that abuses such as tree
cutting, unauthorized taking of marine life, driftwood and similar
souvenirs, and destruction of public property diminishes the beauty
and the future use of the parks, recreation and open spaces.
-- Signs associated with recreation facilities should be kept to a
minimum in number and size, and should be erected as

informational or direction aids only.
-- Adequate provisions should be made for the control of fires both
within recreation facilities and between recreation facilities and
adjacent private or public lands. The provisions should be in
conformance with local fire district requirements.
-- Unless specifically designed for that purpose, park and recreation
facilities should prohibit the use of off-road vehicles in order to
protect natural features as well as the enjoyment and value of the
facility and adjacent properties.
-- Cooperative use of publicly owned lands for recreational purposes
should continue as a method to broaden recreational opportunities
and should keep development costs down.
-- Acquisition and development of park, recreational and open space
land and facilities should anticipate future need. The Capital
Improvement Program in this plan should be continually pursued
and updated.
-- Parks and recreation facilities along marine shores, takes and
streams should be compatible with the goals, policies, and
performance standards of the Jefferson County Shoreline
Management Master Program.
-- The tidal marshes of Jefferson County have been analyzed for their
value as contributors to fish and shellfish production. They also
serve as wildlife habitat, recreational resources, and erosion-
defense works. Therefore, development rights, title, or conservation
easements should be purchased for the County's tidal marshes on a
priority basis.
-- County tax revenues should be spent for park and recreation
facilities which serve, or provide a direct economic benefit to the
residents of Jefferson County. Use of recreational facilities by
visitors to the County is encouraged, as this generates a revenue for
park and recreational maintenance and operation.

-- Developers of new residential subdivisions should provide land,
facilities, or fees-in-lieu of, for neighborhood parks and recreation.
-- Park and recreation facilities which clearly serve distinct community
or neighborhood interests should be financed by local improvement
districts.
-- To maintain park and recreation facilities to the highest possible
standard.
-- The Parks Advisory Board will work with the Planning Commission,
Planning Department, Public Works Department, Board of County
Commissioners, and other county departments in formulating
procedures in carrying out the goals of the Parks Comprehensive
Plan, Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan, and Jefferson County.
PROCEDURES
In order to insure consistent County policy in regards this plan and
other plans as developed by the County, and to promote
communication with other County departments, other boards and
commissions, and with the public, the following procedures ,should be
instituted:
Property Acquisition : Requests for property acquisition shall be
submitted to the Parks Advisory Board (PAB)in written form, and may
also be presented to the PAB in person, for review and comment. The
PAB will respond to the request within sixty (60) days, and inform the
Board of County Commissioners of the request, and of the date the
review will be completed. During the interim, the PAB may request
additional information from,the petitioner, and require that the petitioner
appear in person to discuss the acquisition. The PAB will respond to all
requests in writing, and all responses will be transmitted to the Board of
County Commissioners. Property determined to meet the criteria for
acquisition will be prioritized by the PAB for inclusion in the next year's
budget, or for emergency acquisition, and an action plan and
explanation of the need for acquisition will be made a part of the yearly
update of this plan, and will follow the amendment procedures as
shown in Chapter 2: Planning Process. All final decisions for

acquisition will be made by the Board of County Commissioners.
Conservation Easements: Requests for conservation easements
should follow the same procedures as for property acquisition. In
addition, Conservation Easements will be referred to the Planning
Department for review, and distributed to appropriate agencies.
Lease of County Property: Any request for lease of County property
should be reviewed by the Parks Advisory Board for recommendation to
the County Commissioners.
Sale/~change of County Property: The Parks Advisory Board will
annually review any property to be auctioned by the County for tax
foreclosure. Property will be reviewed to determine the need to retain
for open space, trail or community park purposes, or for exchange for
other properties designated necessary for open space, trail or
community park purposes. The PAB will review any request for
exchange of properties with any entity or person requesting such
exchange, and respond to the County Commissioners with a
recommendation within thirty (30) days.
Road Vacations: The Parks Advisory Board will review all county road
vacation requests within the time requested by the Jefferson County
Planning Commission.
Development Review: The Parks Advisory Board will review all'
developments as to the requirement for open space, potential for trail
corridors, and the consistency with the Comprehensive Trails Plan, and
consistency with the Park$ Comprehensive Plan. It should perform its
review within the time requested by the Jefferson County Planning
Commission, and the PAB .will review any changes proposed after initial
review, and after final review, determine that all new facilities, such as
pocket parks, trails, greenbelts, etc., have been successfully performed
by the developer, and have been inventoried.
Comprehensive Plan Review: The Parks Advisory Board will review
elements of any proposed amendment to or rewriting of the Je:ffersoo.
County Comprehensive Plan. The plan will be reviewed for its
consistency with the ~fferson County Parks Comprehensive eJan., and

CHAPTER 7
TRAILS
Trail systems are of special interest to the citizens of Jefferson County,
as indicated in the survey, in;the formation of the Peninsula Trails
Coalition, and as discussed in public workshops.
At present 1, provision for a public trail system in Jefferson County is
inadequate, while the necessity for a trail system is increasing. The only
such systems currently in use in the county (with few exceptions) exist
mostly as a result of public and individual property owners' permissive
attitudes allowing passage across their land. These systems could be
eliminated because of the lack of public stewardship. The present rate
of population influx, and accompanying developm~nt, and the
increasing visitor impact in the county dictate that steps be taken soon
to insure that opportunities for trail use do not disappear. There are a
number of different types of trail users which can be identified at
present. These include: hikers, all-terrain bicyclists, joggers,
horseback riders, all-terrain (motorized) vehicle enthusiasts and the
handicapped.
It is the view of the Jefferson County Parks Advisory Board that such a
complex and vital issue deserves extensive planning. Therefore, the
Board recommends that an ad hoc committee be formed to create a
county-wide trails plan for inclusion in the Jefferson County
Comprehensive Plan. The committee should be composed of
representatives of the various trail user groups mentioned above,
representatives of Federal, State and Local governments, and
interested citizens appointed by the Board of County Commissioners. It
would be the mandate of this committee to provide means of
implementation of general trail policies and to provide trail standards
and design policies for the Comprehensive Trails Plan.

-- Trails should be related to population centers. They should b~ in
proximity to the demands and should represent local intereSt' in
terms of location and trail uses.
-- Trails should be related to recreation resources. They should
connect parks, playgrounds, open space, items of cultural interests
and other recreation resources.
-- Trails should be related to urban activities. Trails perform a
transportation function and should connect and serve schools,
shopping areass entertainment and recreation facilities, and
churches, as well as provide access to places of work.
-- Trails should traverse areas of natural beauty or special interest.
Natural areas such as stream banks or greenbelts should be
followed where feasible. Points of historic interests scenic views, or
other scenic attractions should be scheduled for trail routes when
possible.
Trails should utilize existing rights-of-way wherever possible, i.e.
roads, railroads, powerlines, waterlines, etc.
-- The Jefferson County Qff-Road-Vehicle Plan will address the needs
of off-road enthusiasts.
-- County trails should be coordinated with those of other public and
private trail systems.
-- Recreational trails should be planned to interconnect or form loops
of reasonable length:' No such trail should dead-end unless unique
circumstances exist. The user should, wherever feasible, have the
opportunity to return to the point of beginning by a different route.
-- Trail systems should be coordinated with the vehicular and
pedestrian systems of the neighborhoods through which they pass.
-- Pedestrian or hiking use should be considered a legitimate use of
horse or bike trails unless intensity of use dictates separation of

CHAPTER 8
QPEN SPACE
A general definition of Open Space is found under Chapter 84 of the
Revised Code of Washington:
(1) "Open space landu means (a) any land area so designated by
an official comprehensive land use plan adopted by any city or
county and zoned accordingly or (b) any land area, the
preservation of which in its present use would (i) conserve and
enhance natural or scenic resources, or (ii) protect streams or
water supply, (in) promote conservation of soils, wetlands,
beaches or tidal marshes, or (iv) enhance the value to the public
or abutting or neighboring parks, forests, wildlife preserves
nature reservations or sanctuaries or other open space, or (v)
enhance recreation opportunities, or (vi) preserve historic sites,
or (vii) retain in its natural state tracts of land not less than five
acres situated in an urban area and open to public use on such
conditions as maybe reasonable required by the legislative
body granting the open space classification.
The need for protection and acquisition of open space was expressed
in the 1989 survey, in which 57% of the respondents stated they wanted
undeveloped public and private lands such as beaches, open fields,
meadows, farmlands, woodlands, and other natural areas increased.
Fifty percent wanted to see established, developed recreational areas
such as parks, campgrounds, traits, bike paths, etc. increased.
Currently, Jefferson County does not have an Open Space Tax Program
with a Public Benefit Rating System. The County recognizes three
categories of open space: (1) Open Space "Open Space", (2) Open
Space Timber, and (3) Open Space Agricultural. Currently in the County
there are no requirements or criteria for lands to be converted to open
space {topen space".
RECOMMENDATION:
The Parks Advisory Board recommends that a Public Benefit Rating
System should be developed for an Open Space Tax Program.

It is apparent that there are several major categories of outdoor
recreational demands and needs throughout Jefferson County:
-- An integrated system of horse and bicycle trails.
- Improved public salt water access and boat launch at strategic
locations.
-- Neighborhood or day-use parks.
-- Overnight camping facilities.
-- Enhanced, recreational programs.
- Open Space preservation.
- Historical/cultural preservation.
BECOMMENDATltlNS :
- Development of a Jefferson County Comprehensive Trails Plan.
Also, the County should continue its program of developing and
marking bicycle routes and should pursue a program of obtaining
trail easements for walking, bicycling and horseback riding. (a)
fload improvement projects along right-of-ways designated as ,
bicycle trails should include shoulder paving for use as bicycle
lanes. (b) All bicycle routes should be clearly marked with the
official Jefferson County bicycle lane symbol. (c) Convenient-te-use
maps depicting Jefferson County bicycle routes should be
distributed at strategic locations. (d) Road signs explaining the
Jefferson County bicycle route markers should be erected at
strategic locations throughout the County to serve both as an
information guide to bicyclists and a warning to motorists. (e) Trail
easements for horse trails should be acquired where these trails
cross private property. Trail easements should be retained when
vacating road right-of-ways designated as equestrian trails.
-- Jefferson County should institute a program for the acquisition and
development of marine waterfront properties, and work
cooperatively with the Port of Port Townsend in developing boat

launch facilities and waterfront trail and interpretive systems. An
inventory of county roads leading to water and their potential use
should be considered.
-- The development of existing and future park sites should be
oriented toward day-use activities to serve local residents. These
sites should include large: and small C'pockef') parks, provide
picnic, playfield and playground facilities.
-- Recreational areas that serve regional needs should be developed
by private, state, and federal entities.
-- Facilities that serve multi-agency users,as boat launches, should be
developed by joint cooperation between Jefferson County, .the Port
of Port Townsend and state and federal agencies.
Organized recreation programs should be continually expanded
throughout Jefferson County, with focus on those areas south of the
City of Port Townsend.
-- Areas that have been identified to have historical significance
should be preserved by local, state or federal agencies. When
appropriate, interpretive centers should be developed.
-- Preservation of undeveloped open space should be made by
acquisition of property by local agencies or land trusts, or trades
with private or governmental landowners, and incentives for
developers.
-- Education about preservation and conservation through public
forums and through school districts should be encouraged.
When special projects are proposed for a planning district, special
issue surveys of the district should be undertaken to determine
district support.

CHAPTER 10
ACTION PROGRAMS
Input from the survey' indicated that the major demands of the citizens
of Jefferson County were:
Acquisition /Preservation /Conservation
Saltwater Access
Trails
Open Space/Parks
View Points/High Bluff Viewpoints
Community Parks/Pocket Parks
Conservation Easements
II. Development of Facilities
New Facilities
Upgrade of Existing Facilities
III. Studies/Plans
IV. Recreation Programming
Strategies to address these major needs for 1991 should be addressed
as follows:
ACQUISIIION/PRES~RV A TION /CONSERV A TJON
In the years of 1991-1996, the County has identified as a priority the
acquisition of parks and open space properties. Specific properties to
be acquired will be identified based on the goals and objectives of this
plan. Current acquisition projects for 1991 are:
Saltwater :
Skunk Island and Adjoining Waterfront: this area is in the area of
Port Hadlock, and has recently received considerable publiC
attention as development of the site appears imminent. Adjoining
the site is a large waterfront resort, the Old Alcohol Plant. At the far
west end of the site is a boat launch facility owned by the Port of Port
Townsend. The site is known as an ancient I~dian camp, the last

known encampment of the Chimacum tribe. An option to purchase
the island and its surrounding waterfront and upland area has been
acquired from the owner by developers. Public emotion was
considerably aroused when it appeared that the historical/cultural
nature of the site was in jeopardy. At public forums during the
Comprehensive Plan Development, there was considerable demand
for the property to be acquired by a public agency and not
developed as a private resort. A demand for an interpretive center
was also expressed.
A grant for acquisition of this property has been requested of the lAC
for 1991. Funding for match of this request can be made available
through institution of 1 % Real Estate Excise Tax.
Oak Bay Waterfront Parcel.: The Oak Bay Park is broken into an
upper ,park portion and a lower park portion by a tidal estuary. The
acquisition of the additional land adjacent to the lower park
(shoreline) will provide more recreational opportunity by increasing
the shoreland and tidal estuary area substantially. The acquisition
of the additional property adjacent to the upper portion will increase
the camping and picnic areas substantially.
Trails:
In 1991, the county will begin a Master Plan/Inventory of existing
and potential trails, in an effort to create a Comprehensive Trails
Plan. It is anticipated that in 1990, the County will enter into an
agreement with the lAC to begin acquisition of trail properties to
complete the "Olympic-Discovery" trail to Clallam County. During
the years 1991-1995, the County will be completing this trail system,
as well as trail systems .in other parts of the County. The Parks
Department (a branch of the Public Works Department) will work
closely with the road design section to create safe conditions for
bicycle pathways along county roads. In order to complete a
comprehensive trails plan and to coordinate the Olympic-Discovery
trail, an additional staff member will be required. A portion of the
cost of an additional person will be borne by in-kind matches from
the monies available for the Olympic-Discovery trail from the lAC,
the remaining amount will come from the county current expense

fund. Monies for the acquisition of properties for the Olympic-
Discovery trail will be matched 50% by lAC and 50% by Jefferson
County. Trails in other parts of the county may be accomplished by
private donation, abandoned county road rights of way,
development donation, and acquisition by the ,county.
Open Space/Parks:
Citizens are encouraged to make recommendations for acquisition
to the Parks Advisory Board. The Parks Advisory Board will provide a
forum to determine the priority for acquisition of property by the
County. Through the Planning Department and its Water Quality
Division, wetlands should be identified to be acquired through
funding by the Washington State Department of Ecology. Some
wetlands acquisitions may be accomplished through funding from
the Washington State Department of Ecology. Areas identified for
acquisition will be prioritized by the Parks Advisory Board, with
continuing citizen input in the form of workshops, working with the
Jefferson County Planning Commission, Shoreline Commission and
the Board of County Commissioners. Some areas that are identified
as a priority may be acquired through private donation, through
purchase or exchange of properties by the county 1 , or, when
property is developed, by development reservation and exchange of
property with the developer. The recent formation of the Jefferson
County Land Trust will also provide an opportunity for acquisition of
public trust land.
The county owns many individual lots located both in platted
property, and as acreage. Development of these lots into local,
neighborhood parks is an inexpensive project, particularly if
neighborhoods can assist in the maintenance of such areas.
Community parks were second in importance (after hiking trails) in
terms of community needs.
Special consideration should be given to preservation of open
space that protects natural drainage areas. In many areas, open
'In t9llO, theCounty, DNA, and a private timber harvesting company entered Into an exchange of trust lands to preserve the GIbbs
Lake/Beauslte lake property.

space can successfully be combined with trail corridors. Whenever
possibleJ connecting corridors and areas of open space should be
preserved to provide contiguous wildlife and vegetation habitat
areas. Identification of crucial wildlife habitatJ wetlands, greenbeltsJ
water access areas and buffer zones will continue to be a goal.
Chimacum Creek Conservation Easements: Preservation of
Chimacum Creek, has been identified as an essential need for many
years. The County, and conservation groups such as the
Chimacum Watershed CouncilJ recommend actively pursuing
conservation easements to protect the quality of water in Chimacum
Creek. The creek has an active Salmon runJ and is a major drainage
for the mid~auimper Peninsula.
Community Parks/Pocket, Parks: The county will develop funds for
community adopt~a~park programs and work with local citizen
groups to help provide funding for these programs.
DEVELoeMENT OF_FACtLl1.IES
The County will pursue the development of new facilitiesJ as, well as the
upgrade of existing facilities. Proposed facility development for 1991:
New:
Brinnon Community Park: This small park lies adjacent to the
Brinnon Senior CenterJ it will provide a picnic/playground area for
local residents. landscaping design and equipment will be
provided.
East Quilcene: A saltwater access park that has been unused for
many years, it will provide a picnic area and shelter and water
access.
Coyle Community Center: The Coyle Peninsula currently has a Park
and Recreation District The County has agreed to participate in the
development of a recreation/community center. The first phase in
this project will be to complete the design. Property has previously
been obtained.

Upgrade:
Little League Facilities: The East Jefferson Little League Association
has provided the county with a list of needs, and wants to work
closely with the county in implementing safety items, as well as
upgrading fields, bleachers, facilities and equipment. Maintenance
of the fields has been, and will continue to be the responsibility of
the Little League Association.
Basketball Court, Irondale Park: Irondale Park will be provided with
a basketball court through County Park Improvement Funds.
Memorial Field Upgrade_: The County will upgrade the current
playing field surface, and add a sprinkling system.
As the population of Jefferson County continues to increase, there
will be further need to develop active recreation. areas. Planning
areas that may currently be sparsely populated will change with
expanded development. Areas that have traditionally been
retirement neighborhoods may attract younger adults with children.
The Jefferson County Parks Department will concern itself with
locating and acquiring properties in County planning areas that will
serve as neighborhood recreation parks. These parks may include,
but are not limited to, playgrounds with equipment for younger
children, basketball courts, tennis courts, baseball fields, soccer
fields, and restrooms. The County Parks Advisory Board will assign
a committee to locate potential recreation sites in each planning
area. Local citizen advisory groups will assist the Board in the
planning, design, and function of each neighborhood recreation
area.
STUDIES/PLANS
In order to pursue various projects, studies and plans are needed.
Recreation Center/Swimming Pool: A need for a swimming pool
location outside of the city limits was noted particularly in the Port
Hadlock, Chimacum, Irondale areas. Funding for the facility will be
explored, with the possibility of lAC funding a portion of the project.
Other funding sources could, be Commission Bonds, or a loan from

the Farmers Home Administration. In 1991, the county will begin a
preliminary study for siting the facility south of Port Townsend. The
county owns considerable acreage adjacent to the Tri-Area
Community Center, which is also adjacent to Chimacum School.
The county will create a sub-committee of the Parks Adv.isory Board
to work with local residents and the school district to determine the
best location. In 1992, the county will hire an architectural
consultant to complete pre-schematic and design development
phases of the project. Bid documents will also be completed. In
1993, construction of the facility will begin. County architectural
coordination staff will manage the construction of the facility, which
would be completed in late 1993. The maintenance of such a facility
will create a need for additional staff and equipment. Fees for use of
the facility would generate a portion of the revenue necessary to run
the facility. Fees obtained from the Chimacum School District and
Quilcene School District for use of the facility w~uld also offset
maintenance costs. The increased maintenance would also create a
need for additional personnel in the Recreation Department. This
person could also provide coordination for additional recreation
activities in the area, which is a need also indicated in the survey.
Gibbs lak~: The Gibbs lake and Beausite lake areas were
acquired by the County in 1990. A master plan will be developed by
the County Parks Advisory Board.
Comprehensive Trail Plan: The County will develop a trails plan in
order to link communities, parks and recreation areas, and a citizen
board will be formed to provide preliminary review for the Parks
Advisory Board.
Skateboard Facility: The Jefferson County Parks and Recreation
Advisory Committee will work with the City of Port Townsend, local
merchants, citizen groups, and youth to develop an area for legal
and safe skateboarding. The Jefferson County Parks Advisory
Board will work with citizens in the County to establish priorities and
needs for skateboarders.

This need was especially emphasized in the more rural areas of
Jefferson County. Currently programs in, soccer, basketball, T-ball,
swimming, tennis, and track are offered, and effort will be made to
expand program offerings that will correspond with the needs of local
youth. This will be accomplished by studying the needs as described in
the survey for the various planning areas of the County. A Recreation
Department Advisory Committee will be formed to study community
recreation needs and make recommendations.
Community centers will be encouraged to provide or create new space
for organized youth programs and recreation personnel will work out of
satellite centers for localized sports programming.
Some recreation programs need to occur at specialized sites, le. Port
Townsend Swimming Pool, or Memorial Field; therefore, efforts will be
made to coordinate with public transportation for a~cess to and from
events.
Networking with school districts, Uttle Leagues, nonprofit youth sports
associations, and private enterprises will provide a more
comprehensive overview of youth sports offerings in each area, and
create partnership and cooperation among providers. This will
enhance the quality and quantity of recreation programming.
Recreation offerings may go unnoticed, so every effort will be made to
adequately advertise and educate local residents of organized youth
sports programs. Organizational networking, newsletters, school
bulletins, local newspapers, community center information boards, and
recreation personnel will continue to inform the publiC as to recreational
sports offerings.
Summer youth, programs were indicated in the survey as a priority need
for local residents. Coordinating public transportation with events and
facilities, networking with other providers, using local community
centers and their recreation/volunteer staff, and effective education
about and publicity for programs are means of achieving better
programming.
Current offerings include tennis lessons, ~mming lessons and

programs, day camps, soccer day camp, track club, creative arts
programs, basketball day camp, open gym, and Port Townsend Youth
Center activities. A number of these programs are offered only in Port
Townsend and many County youth are unable to participate. Summer
recreation aids will be hired in the Tri-Area and Quilcene/Brinnon area
to expand available youth programs. Recreation personnel, extra hire,
and volunteers will explore expanded creative arts programming.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The following six-year capital improvement program is intended to
describe areas and facilities proposed for acquisition and / or
development, estimates of capital costs, anticipated funding sources,
and an identification of capital improvement priorities. The capital
improvement program will be annually updated to reflect changes in
priorities and funding sources. The Board of County Commissioners, in
their regular annual budgetary cycle, must approve each request for
funding on an individual basis. Each request to the Board of County
Commissioners for funding will be accompanied by a report detailing
the estimated annual maintenance costs associated with the facility.
Costs shown for specific projects are estimates only.

CHAPTER 12
QPTIONS FOR PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
Anyone or combination of various means could be employed to
implement this plan. Following is a summary of the most commonly
used methods.
Volunteers:
Local corporations and service organizations and groups concerned
with conservation, recreation activities and land use as well as
interested, individual citizens can and do assist in the development of
park or recreation facilities. Fund-raising drives, contribution of
materials, and weekend labor can assist greatly in park or trail
development and save County residents many tax dollars.
land Trusts:
A land trust is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization whose main
objective is to acquire land, or rights to land (in perpetuity) for future
conservation or recreation purposes. An land is held in trust for the
public benefit. A local trust has no powers of taxation, but acquires
assets by gift, purchase or conservation easement.
County Community Grants:
The County will budget on a yearly basis monies to be designated for
small "community grantsll. These funds may be applied for by
communities or groups for,local facility or program improvements or
development, acquisition of property for community parks or
greenbelts or local trail systems. Fifty percent (50%) of the project cost
must be borne by the local community.
Philanthropy or Gifts:
Individuals may, at no cost to the County and with County acceptance,
transfer land, or development rights t9 land, to the County, a park

district, or a non-profit land trust. Such transfers are normally
deductions from income tax, and result in lowering or eliminating
property taxes.
Easements and Purchase of Development Rights:
The County may acquire open space easements or development rights
(except by condemnation or eminent domain) under a number of
options:
1. The private owner may retain the right to continue any existing open
space use of the land, and to develop any other open space use, but
under the terms of such a purchase the County may forbid or restrict
building thereon or may require that improvements cannot be made
without County permission.
2. The land may be sold and used by the new owner, subject to the
terms of the agreement made by the County with the original owner.
3. The County may acquire the fee title to such property for the
purpose of conveying or leasing the property back to its original
owner or other person under such covenants or contractual
arrangements as will limit the future use of property in accordance
with R.C.W. 84.34.
Park Districts can acquire park or recreation land by the same type of
purchases.
GRANTS
Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation (I.A.C.)
Local park, recreation, and open space projects may be funded in part
through I.A.C. These funds come from a number of sources: statewide
voter-approved bonds; fuel taxes from fuel used by watercraft; monies
from the national land and water conservation fund.
The I.A.C. annually reviews local acquisition or development projects
and grant applications for funds. If a. community receives I.A.C. funds,

at least 25% of project costs must be borne by the local community.
Priority categories for receiving funds are as follows:
1. Public Access to Shorelines.
2. Special or Extraordinary Opportunities for Use by the Handicapped.
3. UseJ Enjoyment and Preservation of a Natural Setting. 1
No single local project will be funded which is not a part of the County
ParksJ RecreationJ and Open Space Plan, or Parks Comprehensive
Plan.
Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account (A.L. E.A.)
The Department of Natural Resources (D.N.R.), through A.L.E.A.,
provides funding for public access to the water, and recreation. and
interpretive projects. A.L.E.A. funds require minimum of 25% match
from local government. These funds must be used. for water dependent
access and recreation projects, and must be associated with navigable
water. The A.L.E.A. fund was established by the 1984 Legislature.
These monies come from revenue received the D.N.R. from leases of
state-owned aquatic lands.
Non-Highway Road/Off-Road Vehicle Activities Funds (NOVA>
In 1972, the Legislature set aside one percent of the gasoline fuel
excise tax to represent a part of the tax paid on fuel used in motorized
recreation off of gasoline tax supported roadways.
The following types of projects are eligible:
1 . Land Acquisitions.
2. Development/Redevelopment of facilities.
3. Plans, StudiesJ Surveys.
4. Management Programs, Including Maintenance and
Operation Costs.
5. Safety, Education and Enforcement.

Funding Recommendation:
Substitute House Bill No. 6639 provides for acquisition of conservation
areas through the approval of the 1 % Real Estate Excise Tax. Jefferson
County should consider adopting funding alternatives to generate the
funds necessary for open space preservationJ conservationJ and park
and recreation programming., Estimates of revenue that would be
generated by instituting this tax would be approximately $1.2
million /year.
A Conservation Futures Fund may be generated under the Washington
Open Space Tax Act, R.C.W. 84.34. This act grants the County the
authority to levy a maximum of 6.25 cents per thousand dollars of
assessed valuation, on a county-wide basis. Approximately $7.5,000
per year would be generated if this tax was levied.
General County Funds:
The Board of County Commissioners, through its annual Park
Department budget, can appropriate funds, for County-wide park
system development, operation, and maintenance. This is the current
method used by Jefferson County for park and recreation purposes. An
advisory park and recreation board can also be created.
Park and Recreation Service Areas:
Pursuant to R.C.W. 36.68, the Board of County Commissioners, or a
group of local voters, can create special park and recreation service
areas. Such service areas can levy special taxes for specific purposes
, (such as the construction of a new community swimming pool), but are
not authorized to levy a general, annual tax. The Board of County
Commissioners supervises the activities and operations of the special
service area. New, special-district commissioners are not elected as is
the case with park districts.
Local service areas are intended to promote the theory that those who
benefit from development should bear the costs, and those who gain no
benefit need not participate financially. currently there are no
established local service areas in Jefferson County; however, if such

service areas were to b~ formed, they should follow established
planning area boundari~s.
Park Districts:
Park districts are special taxing entities such as school, port, or water
districts. They are aut~orized by A.C.W.s 38.69 and 53, the
Washington Recreation District Act, and are formed by a vote of the
people within a given g~graphical area. These districts are managed
by a board of elected cpmmissioners. Property taxes are collected
based upon a tax rate per thousand dollars of assessed valuation. That
portion of a land owner~s property tax is then earmarked for public park
and recreation development within the boundaries of the district. Like
local service areas, par~ districts are an attempt to insure that park-
related taxes collected 'from a given area are also spent in that local
community. Jefferson County has one district, Park and Recreation
District No.1, located on the Coyle peninsula. This district was
established in 1984. .

CHAPTER 13
PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
The success of any plan, program or project depends upon its public
acceptance. The Parks Comprehensive Plan reflects the values and
wishes of Jefferson County citizens due to the following methods of
public involvement:
County-wide park and recreation survey 1: The county, in cooperation
with the City of Port Townsend and the Port of Port Townsend,
conducted a county-wide survey in November and December of 1989.
Residents were selected at random from the voter registration rolls, and
were distributed in equal numbers in each County Commissioner
District 2. The survey asked specific questions related to activities,
preference and support of facilities and recreationai offerings (existing
and proposed), use of existing facilities and support of specific
projects. Each question contained a comments section. Although the
survey was not identifiable by specific respondent, it was identifiable by
specific geographic area, enabling the County to assess demands and
concerns by planning area. The survey received a 48% return' rate, with
a 95% confidence level. The comments section allowed respondents to
express concern, criticism and praise, or merely comment in a general
way, about current practices, proposed or desired projects and
facilities.
The survey has proven to be an invaluable tool in discussion and
tracking of demands during the public workshop sessions held prior to
adoption of the plan. The extent of the survey remarks showed that
citizens were indeed concerned with park and recreation offerings, were
willing to support various activities and facilities, and that specific
conceptual ideas, such as open space, "pocket parksll and greenbelts
were very important. Planning Districts, as would be expected,had their
own individual concerns, related to specific areas, such as the mouth of
'A copy of the results from the 1989 Survey of Citizen Needs and Opinion SUlVey Is an attachment to the plan.
2ed.note:a summarized discussion of the SUlVey' Is contained In Chapter 5: Park and Recreation Demand and Needs. and a
complete reading of the survey results and commenls Is available from the Jefferson Coun1y Department of Public Works.

Chimacum Creek in the Port HadlockJ IrondaleJ Chimacum district, and
the Gardiner Boat Launch in the Gardiner district. Not to be overlooked
is the basic information provided in the question which allows the
respondent to state which activities he or she participate in most
frequently. The achievements of this survey are that now the County J
City and Port have a good idea, of what activities citizens most
frequently engage in; what activities and improvements they are willing
to support with public funds; what their priorities for the funding are;
what specific concerns they have; and the general demographics of the
county. Of primary importance is the use of the survey as a forum,
where, in an anonymous situation, people are allowed to express
themselves. Stories were carried in the Port Townsend Leader about the
survey and its relationship to the Parks Comprehensive' Plan.
Special Committee: The plan was developed by the Jefferson County
Parks Advisory Board. Their function and responsil;>ility during the
planning process is described in Chapter 2: The Planning Process. The
board has a set monthly meetingJ which is advertised in the "Your Right
to Knowll column in the local weekly newspaper, the Port Townsend
Leader. The meeting is open to the public, and is frequently attended
by interested citizens. During the process of the development of the
plan, the board met every other week from November through April. In
November and March, the board hosted two special three hour
workshops with the County Commissioners, representatives from the
Jefferson County Planning Commission, Planning Department staff,
representatives from ,the City of Port Townsend Parks Advisory Board,
City of Port Townsend staff, Port of Port Townsend Staff, press
reporters from the Port Townsend Leader, representative from
Centrum, the Director of the Jefferson County Public Works
Department, Public Works staff and Jefferson County Recreation staff.
The workshops were designed to bring together the various decision
and policy making branches of local government, to exchange ideas
regarding parks capital improvements, parks and activities demands,
to demonstrate local citizen concern, to present updates on the
development of the plan, and to develop communication within the
system. The November meeting was introductory in type, stating the
goals of the board in regard to the Park$ Comprehensive Plan, and
discussion of various proposed capital improvement plans. The March
meeting focussed on a presentation of the survey results {and the

impact these demands have on the Parks Comprehensive Plan)and a
discussion on the complete capital improvement plan.
Public Workshops : Five public workshops were held during the period
of public involvement. The public was notified of the workshops in the
Port Townsend Leader, and the Peninsula Daily News. Both papers
also carried stories about the plan and the need for public involvement
prior to the workshops. Workshops were held in Port Ludlow (Planning
Districts 7,8), Quilcene (Planning Districts 9,10,11), Tri-Area (Planning
Districts 3,4,6), Gardiner (Planning District 5), and Port Townsend
(Planning Districts 1,2).
The Jefferson County Planning Commission held a workshop
hearing/plan review on May 23, and a final hearing on May 30. The
attendance at the meetings was as follows 3:

Report: The commission expressed concern that the proposed
Olympic-Discovery Trail would be used more by tourists than it would
be by local residents, and supported the idea of a comprehensive
(county-wide) trail, linking communities. One member felt that people
and Brinnon and Quilcene would not benefit from the trail. There was
suggestion that the funding sources as shown in the capital
improvement section should be more clearly identified. There was
discussion about the swimming pool south of the city limits, and the
need for local citizen input was stressed, including representatives from
Quilcene and the Tri-Area. There was a general discussion about the
new legislation for 1 % Real Estate Excise Tax, and the funding effect it
would have. Public input including a discussion about the need to
include maintenance costs in the capital improvement section, and the
confusion of indicating the capital expenditure for trails, when a
comprehensive trails plan has not be done. Also, if a swimming pool is
to be considered, a more complete recreation center should be
contemplated. Current improvements to playing fields was requested,
particularly safety improvements. It was also requested to keep in mind
the need for new fields and facilities. The maintenance impact that the
increased population is putting on existing facilities was discussed.
The need for a. prioritization system or criteria for projects and
acquisition was brought up by the' commission.
Recommendation: The plan was recommended for approval in
principal, with the request that the plan be expanded to address the
maintenance issue as well as a discussion of prioritization. The
commission further selected three members to attend the Board of
County Commissioners hearing: Sam Swanson, Peter Badame, Dick

adjourned at 9:00PM. A presentation was made of
each chapter of the plan. Considerable discussion
took place regarding the Capital Improvements section
of the plan. A large number of the attendants had
previously received the plan, and were well informed.
The major topic of discussion involved recreation:
there is a good deal of concern for teenagers in
particular having some place to go after school. The
attendants want to see cooperation between the
schools and the county to provide programs and a
place for youth. The swimming pool also was
discussed, with a strong sentiment expressed that a
pool should be placed closer to Quilcene, at some
midpoint between Quilcene and the Tri-Area. Another
suggestion was made to construct two small pools,
one in Quilcene and one in Chimacum. There was little
support for, and some negative reSponse to the trail
system. The citizens stated they would rather see
youth recreation needs taken care of first. They feel
that the trail system is taken care of inside Olympic
National Park. It was agreed that interested citizens
would come to the June 6 Parks Advisory Board
meeting to discuss the youth recreation issue, and that
the Parks Advisory Board would make a
recommendation to the Board of County
Commissioners. Before adjournment, it was
suggested that the center could be left open for those
people that would like to get together to discuss the
recreation issue with Warren Steurer and a
representative of the schools. These people met after
the adjournment. They said that they would be able to
staff a center with parent support.

Report: Considerable discussion arose around the IlSkunk
Islandll acquisition issue, and propoerty acquisition by
the County in general. Many that attended urged
acquisition by the County, and continued preservation
of all historical/cultural areas. A member of the
Quillayute tribe was in attendance, and strongly
supported the preservation of the area. There was also
discussion about the proposed comprehensive trail
system and the potential need to have a' person in
charge of the trail system working for the county.
Discussion of a handicapped accessible wetland
viewing area along the railroad right of way, a project
involving the Port, City and Port Townsend Mill, and
proposed by the Lloyd family was urged by attendants

representing the Audubon Society. Another important
issue to those attending was the conservation of
Chimacum Creek, by acquisition of the surrounding
properties or by conservation easements. The 1 % Real
Estate. Excise tax was discussed and there was
considerable support for institution of the tax, and
encouragement for the Parks Advisory Board to
recommend that the County Commissioners levy the
tax. Working more closely with the Chimacum and
Quilcene school districts was also emphasized.
Another contingent was concerned about maintenance
at the parks, and that concern for good maintenance
should be considered when acquiring or deve,loping a
park.
One person brought up the possibility of using county
property in the Port Hadlock area for a walking trail,
and for other activities, and the potential for using a
county gravel pit on Rhody Drive for trail connections.

very little is accessible to the public in the area. The
port spoke to the question regarding the Gardiner Boat
Launch (the port leases the site; the owner is presently
unwilling to sell the area), and the potential need for a
launch site on east Discovery Bay. The trail was also a
topic of discussion, with several tnere supporting the
idea of a comprehensive trail system, with alternate
routes. They felt the comprehensive trail plan should
show currently used routes, and how to find them, and
there was discussion on some of the history of the
Gardiner area, and the possibility of installing historic
markers on the trail. The need for historical/cultural
preservation was also expressed. The potential for a
swimming pool in the Chimacum area was seen as a
good idea, although the new Sequim facility is also
available to them. The Gibbs Lake. Master Plan project
was discussed, with concern expressed that the area
not be developed in any way, that it should be left as is.
A possible acquisition in the Pleasant. Harbor area was
brought up, and the need to have property acquisition
procedures . incorporated in the plan.

The need for another swimming pool (indoor) was
discussed. The current conflict at the Port Townsend
facility over pool temperature might be alleviated by
building two pools. Although Port Townsend residents
would like to see another pool in Port Townsend,
having a facility outside of town would be acceptable,
since some are going to Sequim anyway. There was
concern over the land adjacent to the Thomas Oil
facility downtown is being developed into
condominiums, and whether it could be acquired for a
park site. Staff explained that those concerned should
contact the City Parks Board. The need for adequate
procedures that the public can be made aware of for
acquisition concerns was discussed. The board and
staff stressed the importance of communication with
local government through the Parks Advisory Board.
The need for a "Waterfront Plan" inside the city was
discussed by Port Staff. Questions were asked relating

to the status of the South Indian Island Parks, and
concern that archaeologist Joseph Waterhouse 4,Jr. be
contacted. Mr. Waterhouse has apparently been to the
Indian Island site, and is concerned over preservation
related to Indian culture. One person stated that it
would be good to have an interpretive trail in that area
and at the Skunk Island site. A discussion followed
about what the lines of development were--are
interpretive sites O.K.?
There was discussion regarding the 1 % Real Estate
Excise Tax, and what people could do regarding
getting the issue on the ballot. General expression of
being in favor of the tax, wanting to help. The .board
stated that it would be recommending that the
Commissioners put the issue on the November ballot,
and that the board was aware of at least one group
working towards the goal of getting the issue on the
ballot.
One person spoke to address several issues:
endorsing the plan, calling it an excellent, visionary
plan, hoping it would be implemented. Citizens also
wanted to see more interconnectedness of boat
launch/recreation facilities in the Port. They stated
there has been far too much development of the
shorelines by private interests; there is very little public
access, and they want to see more public ownership.
Discussion took place on the heavy increase in
population, and fear of its consequences. Will local
government only go on putting out ubrush fires"? It is
necessary to do comprehensive planning, and this
plan is a step in the right direction. They liked the
discussion in the plan of the planning process. They
were also very much concerned about the money--
where will it come from? The staff explained that
'Joseph Waterhouse Is currently Involved In assessing the Skunk Island and adjoining waterfront site In Port Hadlock.

money could come from various sources, including
grants, levies, and the 1 % Real Estate Excise tax, but
that the Board of County Commissioners is ultimately
responsible for adequately funding the plan goals, and
the parks maintenance. They urged adding an
administrative position to the Public Works to handle
all of the required planning and paperwork associated
with the parks vision, and with keeping the plan
current.
One person discussed the need for playing fields in
depth, and that the city needed an additional playing
field; that there are not enough in the city. They
suggested more dialogue with the School Districts in
general about the playing fields, because the school
and County Recreation have the ~me needs. They
also suggested combining other elements in a playing
field, such as: trails, picnic areas, open space. A major
field/recreation complex should be located where the
most growth is taking place in the county, which is
possibly the "Tri-Area". The question was raised
"Would it be possible to have the county own an area
surrounding the complex that could be used to
generate funds for maintenance, such as housing?".
Staff explained that it could be possible, and that within
the department discussion had taken place about
possible location of low-income housing.
Another request was for better utilization of the Little
League fields. They should be able to be used for other
events, not just for Little League. It was brought up that
the Fairgrounds fields are in really bad shape, and
need more care.
The need for better maintenance was brought up.
Some urged that the county increase its maintenance
staff. The city has twice as many staff, and much less
area to care for.

The need for better boat ramps, and better parking at
boat ramps was raised. It was also urged that parking
lots at ramps and at other facilities didn't have to be
ugly, and more energy should be put into better
designs for parking lots. The discussion continued,
with the Port being asked about their obligation to
recreational activities. The question was asked: "Can
recreation facilities be inside of the airport area?". Port
staff responded by explaining that activities would
have to be compatible with the current use of the
property, and that it would be reviewed. An interesting
(and humorous) discussion followed with the
possibility of playing fields in the runway ~rea.
Someone suggested that picnic tables could be placed
in such a way that people could picnic and watch the
planes. It was brought up that more open space
needed to exist at the Boat Haven in Port Townsend.
A discussion of addressing the need for viewpoints
took place. It was stated that a view of Protection
Island (a bird sanctuary) could be accomplished at the
end of McMinn Road and/or Middlepoint Road. It was
emphatically stated that the quality and character of
the County needs to be kept; it is rapidly disappearing.
County roads could provide more scenic beauty and
also. provide adjoining trails if more right of way could
be obtained, perhaps 100 feet rather than the standard
60 feet This would. allow a buffer between traffic and
pedestrians/bicyclists, etc. Staff explained that the
department has considered having developers give
more right of way for trails and adjoining greenbelts
and open space, rather than putting their 10% open
space requirements into an isolated area. This was
described as working with the developers towards a
more comprehensive system. One person mentioned
parking at Chimacum School, how it dominated the
front of the school, and that parking should be looked

at in a more creative fashion.
The issue of Ilsensitive areas" was brought up, with a
recommendation that coordination between various
groups, such as Water Quality, Audubon, Watershed
Council, .etc. be a goal. The need for wildlife habitat
and wildlife corridors in conjunction with open space
was stressedJ This brought up the discussion of open
space, and the board said that they were considering
devoting a separate chapter to open space.
It was suggested that the county acquire the DNR trust
lands 5 as open space and for wildlife habitat. The
board stressed the necessity of the public coming to
them with information about sensitive areas, and ideas
or any other questions regarding acquisition, etc. The
board also stated that everyone needs to work together
to know what are the sensitive areas. People very
definitely care and are concerned.
It was suggested that the document be dedicated to
preserving the quality of life in the county.
5tltese are lands held by the DNR In "trust" for the county. The County receives monles when the timber is harvested on these
lands.
