Dear Commissioner, Regarding my comments at the Regular Commission Meeting today. Several of you have expressed a sincere desire to do more for the airport communities.

Incest
I admit it. I wasn’t paying much attention during the whole 3rd Runway battle. The Des Moines Marina was my home base for sailing adventures up and down the Sound, but during the infrequent times I was on land, the thing I noticed most were all the gravel trucks slowing traffic on 509. Of course,
300
So we’ve passed a teensy milestone: 300 subscribers. Woohoo. I smell movie! 😀 OK, maybe not. But given the dry nature of the material stored here, I think we’re doing OK. More interesting is that we’ve had three days now with over 100 hits. Again, it’s a drip. But it’s a steady drip. What I
