Sequim Valley Airport manager Andy Sallee wants to attract investors to make improvements to the private airstrip west of Sequim.
Sequim airport owner looking for investors Operation likely to stay in family, but funds sought BY JAMES CASEY PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
SEQUIM — Wanted: someone to buy a part of the whole — the Blue Hole. That’s the fabled patch of fair sky above Sequim Valley Air-
port, where owner Andy Sallee would welcome new investors. Sallee doesn’t want to walk away from the airfield his parents opened and which he is likely to pass to his son, Daniel, a pilot for Alaska Airlines who holds a degree in airport management. Nor does he want to see it become anything more than what he calls “neighbor-friendly.” Still, some new money to add hangars, perhaps a cafe, maybe even a meeting center, would be
welcome, he said, at the 190-acre site at 468 Dorothy Hunt Lane. “My family, along with a number of investors, would like to find a buyer who would buy part of the airport,” said Sallee, 55. Jack and Winifrid Sallee, their four sons and about a dozen investors built Sequim Valley Airport in 1983, carefully locating it away from the foggy Strait of Juan de Fuca and the gusty Olympic Mountains.

Dungeness shellfish area grows BY JAMES CASEY PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — Shellfish harvesting is safe in 40 more acres of Dungeness Bay than six years ago, state health officials say. The finding — the result of tests taken between October 2012 and late April by the state Department of Health — was presented Tuesday to the Clallam County Board of Health. At Dungeness Bay, improvement stemmed from “working for a very long time to improve its water quality” by upgrading septic systems and controlling stormwater and irrigation outfalls, said
Andy Brastad, director of the Environmental Health division of the county Health and Human Services Department. Along with landowner projects financed with help from the Clallam Conservation District, “we’re going to take at least partial responsibility,” he said, noting that some shellfish-harvesting areas in Washington state have been downgraded. The state lists as “approved” or “conditionally approved” 12 sampling stations in Dungeness Bay from each of which 30 samples were taken to test for fecal coliform bacteria. TURN

PORT ANGELES — Eating a lot of crab from Port Angeles Harbor could increase the risk of cancer, according to 13-year-old research presented to the Clallam County Board of Health on Tuesday. The report issued in February 2005 stems from samples taken in 2002 mostly off the old Rayonier mill site, a firmer pulp mill that became a cleanup site in 2000. In 2007, a health warning against eating crab or shellfish from the harbor was issued. The Lower Elwha Klallam tribe sought an update on the warning, but neither the state departments of Ecology nor

Health had funds to take new samples or evaluate them, according to Amy Leang, health department toxicologist. The report drew these conclusions: ■ Lifetime excess cancer risk (increased chance of getting cancer) from eating crab muscle: 3 persons per 10,000 people from arsenic and other contaminants. Lifetime excess risks were based on a person’s eating 0.39 pound of uncooked meat of seafood a day. ■ Lifetime excess cancer risk from eating crab hepatopancreas, known as “crab butter”: 1 in 100 from arsenic, PCBs, dioxin and DDT.
