PORT ANGELES — We’re about to envision — not debate — the future, Cathy Haight told a roomful of artists, dancers, actors, business people and

three City Council members. Envision they did, in Wednesday night’s public forum on the fate of downtown’s shuttered Lincoln Theater. The Port Angeles Arts Council, a nonprofit, nongovernmental group, hosted what became a unified conversation at Studio Bob, 118½ E. Front St., with Haight keeping some 40 attendees on topic: What are the best possibilities for the 98-year-old cinema, which closed March 2? “Think of sitting around with friends at a dinner table,” she began. Then Haight, an artist and teacher, grouped

attendees into clusters and invited them to voice their ideas about what the Lincoln might become. A performing arts center, a classicmovie venue, a concert hall, a dance center, a space for lectures, author readings and even touring shows: These reincarnations rose to the top of the ensuing discussion while Amy McIntyre, Arts Council president and facilitator of one of the clusters, reported that her group wanted the new Lincoln to be “the heart of the community.” TURN

PORT TOWNSEND — A search of a Port Townsend parking lot and bus stop has turned up a missing Sequim woman’s backpack but no sign of what happened to her. “Our level of concern is pretty high,” said Officer Patrick Fudally, Port Townsend Police Department spokesman. Lauryn R. Garrett, 23, was last seen at 7:30 p.m. May 1 at the Haines Place Park and Ride in Port Townsend, where she was to catch a bus to a family home Garrett near Sequim. Garrett borrowed a bystander’s cellphone to call home and walked across the parking lot to the nearby Port Townsend Safeway, Police Chief Conner Daily said. She left both of her backpacks at the park and ride, and the witness never saw her return for them, Daily said. Safeway employees reported that Garrett attempted to cash a check in the store but didn’t have proper identification and left, Daily said. TURN
