To the Department of Natural Resources and Jefferson County Council,
My wife and I have owned property on the Toandos Peninsula for 25+ years now. It is a unique and special place located in the shadow of Seattle. Protected by water on three sides,
the area has retained much of its wild and remote nature with still inhabited by cougar, bear, deer, otter and innumerable other animals and birds. The beaches are unspoiled and natural.
Given its long and narrow shape, we believe maintaining extensive protected land is critical to promote the healthy movement of species throughout the peninsula. Consequently, we
feel the protection of the 826 acres of state forestlands with the Dabob Bay Natural Area boundaries is a worthwhile and important goal. While there is a cost to it, we feel the long-term
value of retaining the remote nature of the property and extensive wildlife corridors worth the price.
Thank you for your strong consideration of this proposal.
Regards,
Bill Driscoll and Lisa Hoffman
