SEQUIM — In hopes of saving their working barn — a 74-year-old structure on the state’s Heritage Barn Register —

Paul and Deb Hansen are having a dance at the Sequim Prairie Grange Hall, 290 Macleay Road, this Friday night. Admission is $5, and the bands are the Dead Peasants Society, an acousticmusic quartet just back from a tour of the Southwest, and Good Machine, featuring bassist Hayden Pomeroy — all playing American roots music, Deb promised. She and her husband will serve coffee, tea and lemonade throughout the dance from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Additional donations will be more than welcome, she added, since she and her family need to raise $22,000 in grant-matching money to preserve the barn, located off Frost Road southwest of town.

PORT ANGELES — One of the biggest challenges employers have today is finding qualified employees for technical and trades work, U.S. Rep.

He said he saw an example of that challenge while touring the Interfor Pacific sawmill west of Port Angeles later that day. Steve Kroll, general manager of Interfor’s Washington operations, said the sawmill has had four positions for millwright open for six or eight months. “We aren’t even getting applications for the positions,” he said.
