Heidi,
Thank you for your instant response. It appears we are not fully coordinated with these endorsement requests.
Yes, if you could forward the bridge naming endorsement now it will be greatly appreciated. We are attempting to get the endorsement from all the stakeholders to meet the requirements
of the Washington State Transportation Commission. I've included my address below.
Thank you and the other commissioners for your assistance.
Thank you,
Vigo Anderson

Vigo,
We have a letter drafted and ready to go at the request of Patricia Earnest. Asked her to let me know when the letter was needed so we could get it signed by all three commissioners.
Is this message from you that notification?
Thanks,

Heidi

From: Vigo E. Anderson
Subject: Marrowstone/Indian Islands Bridge Naming - Endorsement Request
Commissioners: Eisenhour, Nollette, Brotherton
In 2020 the Washington State Department of Transportation built a new bridge between Indian Island and Marrowstone Island. This bridge removed a land bridge that was a fish barrier
to several salmon species migrating between Oak Bay and Kilisut Harbor. The bridge also opened up a historically significant navigable waterway between the two islands.
The Marrowstone Island Community Association created a Bridge Naming Committee to work with the local and the wider community to give the new bridge a name. Some months ago, the members
of the Marrowstone Island Bridge Naming Committee, sent a message out letting key stake-holders and local residents know of our plans to take an Island-wide survey of what name residents
would like to call the new bridge. Following the policy and procedures set out by the Washington Transportation Commission, we requested and received 47 nominations for naming the new
bridge. The committee narrowed it down to 6 final choices and we asked all residents or landowners on Marrowstone Island to select a name from that list.
We also contacted local tribes asking of their interest in the bridge naming. We received recommendations from the Jamestown, Port Gamble and Elwa Tribes making up the S’Klallam Nation
based on the tribal name for the waterway under the bridge. The reopened waterway has been historically travelled by tribal canoes for generations. The Department of Natural Resources
Committee on Geographic Names officially designated the waterway as “Passage Through”. The native word for the waterway is “scɬə́qʷ”.
The island residents overwhelmingly supported the recommendation of the S’Klallam Nation to also name the bridge after the waterway. The goal is to have signs placed on or near the
bridge with the name “Passage Through Bridge” with “scɬə́qʷ displayed underneath.”
Because of the care taken in choosing the proposed name and the support from the residents and tribes, we hope you will voice your support and approval of this name for the bridge.
We ask that you send us a letter or an e-mail to that effect so we may include it in our bridge naming package to be submitted to the Transportation Commission this summer.
The really good news is that this bridge funding provided by the North Olympic Salmon Coalition with participation by the U.S. Navy is doing exactly what it was intended to do and that
was to enhance salmon habitat and return the natural saltwater flow through Kilisut Harbor. Kilisut Harbor is that small body of water between Marrowstone Island and Indian Island.
Should you have any questions or concerns please call or email me. We look forward to seeing you at the official naming ceremony. Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Vigo E. Anderson
