Random, but anyone know if Yodelin has a playlist they play their music off? Or is it a rando employees playlist?
Theres a song I heard that for the life of me can’t remember the artist and it’s going to drive me crazy LOL.
He’s a life long Republican who will use his real estate investments to make himself and his friends more wealthy. He funds anti-LGBTQ organizations through his family’s foundation and his solution for homelessness is to get rid of them.
The City of Port Angeles is thrilled to bring back the City Shade Street Tree Program for a fourth year! Developed in partnership with community member Paul Forrest, this program has been expanding our urban tree canopy by planting new trees in residential areas across the city.
As part of the program, residents can request up to two free trees through an online application process. Once approved, the trees will be planted in the public right-of-way, the area typically between the sidewalk and curb, near your home.
Approximately 90 trees will be available this fall, including the following species:
Trees will be delivered to approved applicants on Saturday, October 24, following the City’s Arbor Day Celebration and Planting Demonstration. Each tree will arrive ready to plant in a #16 fabric planting bag. Applicants are responsible for planting the trees, watering them weekly during the first two summers, pruning and leaf raking as needed.
Port Angeles residents can apply now through Friday, July 31. City staff will review planting sites and work with applicants to offer species best suited for their location’s size, soil conditions, and existing utilities. Preference will be given to households who have not previously received a street tree as part of this program.
Community members who would like to support the City Shade Program are also encouraged to volunteer. Those interested are asked to submit a Volunteer Intake Form to the Community & Economic Development Department at ced@cityofpa.us.
Realized I should've shared this at the start of the month and not the end, lol. Made this edit myself, feel free to use it for whatever you feel like.
Howdy folks, this is an announcement regarding discussion of r/PortAngeles moderation on r/PortAngeles2. There recently has been something of a campaign on this sub (henceforth referred to as PA2) of users encouraging others to report the head moderator of the other sub (henceforth PA1) to Reddit for not following Reddit's rules for moderating.
This is something that we can't allow, as using one subreddit to have a coordinated effect on how another is run is, in itself, against Reddit rules. It's hard for us PA2 mods to be unaware of this, as the PA1 moderator in question has repeatedly reported us and messaged us, telling us in no uncertain terms that he'll make a continuous effort to get the PA2 sub removed for as long as there are posts/comments encouraging others to report his moderation.
Personal feelings aside, PA2 was never made to start a turf war with the moderator(s) of PA1, or to stir any sort of beef with PA1 in general. Most of the moderators here on PA2 don't particularly like being moderators or the drama that comes with it, but we felt (and continue to feel) it was necessary to give the Port Angeles community a space on Reddit that isn't beholden to the type of moderation present on PA1. But by allowing those posts about PA1's moderation, we lose some of our own agency from it.
So from here on out, the rule we're going to have to have is that the PA1 and PA2 subreddits are separate spaces, and users aren't allowed to use one to influence the other. This is not a blanket ban on discussing PA1, you're still allowed to criticize how it's run if you see fit, and of course cross-post things from there to here, but we can't allow meddling in their moderation. Thanks for reading, and we appreciate your understanding.
A lot of people only focus on what is wrong in Clallam County. There are real problems, and nobody should pretend otherwise. But the full picture also includes real progress.
Overdose deaths are down. Alcohol and drug-related deaths declined from 2023 to 2025. Local response programs are connecting more people to services after overdoses, and that means more lives saved. The county dropped from the second-highest overdose fatality rate in Washington to 11th. The projected cost of crime per resident in Clallam County is $383 per year, $81 less than the national average and $227 less than Washington State's average. King County residents, by comparison, pay over $800 per person.
Youth outcomes are improving too. Clallam County’s high school dropout rate is significantly lower than it was a decade ago, and the on-time graduation rate has improved over that same period. Housing is still being added. It is not enough, and we still need more, but new residences continue to be permitted and built. The May 2026 CED Building Report shows 28 total dwelling units YTD in 2026, compared with 16 for this same period in 2025.
The local economy is not standing still either. Payroll jobs were higher in December 2025 than they were a year earlier. As of May 2026, Clallam County's unemployment rate dropped to 4.9%, down from 5.4% the prior month, with employers adding 280 jobs to payrolls.
None of this means every problem is solved. It does mean the story of Clallam County is not only decline as some would have you believe.
Progress is happening. Lives are being saved. More students are graduating. More housing is being added. More people are working.
We should be honest about the challenges, but we should also be honest about the progress.

Seegers is entitled to explain what he says he intended. But voters are entitled to judge the words themselves. There is a difference between encouraging civic participation and telling a church audience that voting Republican is voting for truth while Democrats represent evil. Calling it a metaphor does not erase the partisan and religious framing of the original remarks.
Also worth noting: the article discloses that the interviewer/publisher, Jeff Tozzer, is also Seegers’ campaign manager. That does not make the interview invalid, but it does make it campaign damage control, not independent journalism.

Enlightening sermon by Jake Seegers. You should definitely just listen to his words.
[UPDATED] I'm hoping to co-create Port Angeles Earth Church soon and have a perfect location in mind for gatherings but am looking for alternatives -- parks that are easy for all to get to, ideally. We'll hold monthly gatherings OUTSIDE. No sermons, choirs (except birds), nor drum circles but an opening ritual, maybe a short reading, then wandering individually among nature surrounding us, followed by relatively short discussion of what we noticed, felt, thought about. If possible, concluding with music. Mid-morning on the 3rd Saturday, BYO lunch afterward if those who join choose to do that.
There's a national network (see link above), and there are gatherings in Sequim and Port Townsend already.
I have a perfect location in mind, so I've asked for permission to hold the gathering there, but that's iffy so I'm asking for suggestions. The outdoor site needs to be in a lovely area, open to the public, with roaming space, and ideally where people can get to it by bike, walking, or bus, not just by driving.
I'll appreciate any and all suggestions of locations to consider.
I'm moving back to PA after being away a decade. Trying to find a cat friendly house/apartment (sub $1600) that isn't overpriced is difficult. Am I just looking in the wrong places?
