KINGSTON — For the first time, harvesting of geoduck and other shellfish has been approved just outside Appletree Cove. The state Department of Health recently reclassified 162 acres
of commercial shellfish growing area from Prohibited to Approved. Soon, the Suquamish Tribe and Tulalip Tribes will survey the area for biomass — random sampling for geoduck weight and density in the survey area, between minus 18 and minus 70 feet in depth.
The area reclassified is within the two tribes’ Usual and Accustomed Area for shellfish harvesting. Viviane Barry, Suquamish Tribe shellfish program manager, said it will take time before any harvesting is done. First, preSee GEODUCK, Page A4
Davalos, superintendent of the Suquamish Tribe Education Department. The academy will enroll about 15 middle-school students, Davalos said. Some spaces are already filled. Class sizes are expected to range from 12-15 students, he said. Enrolling middle-schoolers may provide early help to more students at risk of not graduating on time. Across the country, according to Davalos’ research, ninth-graders who fail one class are at 75 percent See ACADEMY, Page A4

Two people are very interested to serve, and it’s good that there is that much interest.

POULSBO — When Poulsbo Police are called to the scene of an attempted suicide, or a domestic situation, or any other mental health crisis, “we’re putting on the Band-Aid at that point,” Poulsbo Officer David Shurick said. “We’re not trained to help them get better, to give them medication,” Shurick said.
Law enforcement officers are just one part of the equation when a mental health crisis arises, but they often deal with the most dangerous part. Shurick said it’s the followup — a bed at Harrison Medical Center, the right medication, and a referral to a counselor — that needs more resources. “Under the current way things are handled, we may respond to
