PORT ANGELES — Staff and volunteers at the Olympic Peninsula Humane Society have
been busy planning Saturday’s Meowgaritas & Mutts fundraiser and preparing to open the new shelter to the public Monday. “[The new buildings] are great. We love it,” said Mary Beth Wegener, executive director of the humane society. The animals are settling in at the new location at 1743 Old Olympic Highway, she said, adding that the dogs have taken to the walking trail and the cats are enjoying stretching out on
PORT ANGELES — Jimmy John’s is coming to Port Angeles. The hot-sandwich eatery chain, which specializes in home delivery, will open a 40-seat restaurant in the former Starbucks at 108 Del Guzzi Drive by mid-May — and could make its debut by May 9, franchise owner-operator Adrian Davila of Olympia said Thursday. “There’s nothing in Port Angeles like a Jimmy John’s,” he said. Davila, owner of Jimmy John’s franchises in Olympia and Bellingham, said he has filled about
half of the 50 job openings at the restaurant. Jobs are 15 to 25 hours a week and pay the $9.47 hourly minimum wage. Employees tend to be teenagers and college students, with 25 workers on duty during the peak midday hours. Jimmy John’s will be open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. “It’s high-energy, fun, not your typical fast-food restaurant,” Davila said, adding that 70 percent of his staff in Olympia has been working at the restaurant for two years.

The total cost of the new shelter complex — including construction, remodels of existing buildings and new equipment — was about $1.5 million, raised entirely through public donations. TURN

Washouts: Damage limiting park access Raging rivers undercut two drives BY ARWYN RICE PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK — Two Olympic National Park roads await repairs months after the raging rivers that damaged them have returned to their usual levels. Mora Road will remain open as a one-lane road for the foreseeable future, and Olympic Hot Springs Road repairs are awaiting permits to begin the installation of a new bridge to span a washed-out section of road, said Rainey McKenna, spokeswoman for Olympic National Park.
“It was one of the wettest winters on record,” McKenna said Thursday. She said both roads are located alongside rivers that have protected fish species, making repairs more complicated because of permitting issues.
Mora Road Mora Road, the only access to Rialto Beach, north of La Push, was closed ahead of a predicted severe storm March 9, and when crews checked the area after the storm, they found the road had been undermined by the Quilla-
yute River, she said. McKenna said park crews determined the eastbound lane was not safe, but the westbound lane could still be used, and it was reopened to one lane of traffic. It will remain a one-lane road until engineers and state Fish and Wildlife officials determine how to repair the road with minimal impact to fish in the Quillayute River, she said.
