Mill site talks continue By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer
EVERETT — A deal to sell the former Kimberly-Clark mill site on the waterfront for use as the headquarters of Foss Maritime Co. fell through in April, but the
two sides haven’t given up on reaching agreement. Kimberly-Clark and the would-be buyer, Foss parent Saltchuk, could not agree on how to split the cost of cleanup and site preparation. KimberlyClark put the property back on
the market. But the two sides are still talking, though not formally, according to sources familiar with the situation. Neither company would say how serious the discussions are. Saltchuk is still interested in

Employees of the Washington State Liquor Control Board, the University of Washington and the state departments of Health and Social and Health Services, among others, are crafting messages for delivery in brochures, on the Web, over the air and across a spectrum of social media. Some themes will reflect what’s transpired in Colorado, where retail sales of pot began five months ago — topics such as the potency of edible products and keeping one’s marijuana out of reach of juveniles. Other messages will be tailored for residents of Washington, where the first batch of retail store licenses will be handed out in July. About four dozen other businesses are licensed to grow and process marijuana into products to be sold in those stores. “We’re trying to zero in on what kind of information we need to get out there now,” said Mary Segawa, alcohol awareness program manager for the Liquor Control Board.

the recruiter if he could fly planes. “The next day, I was in Fort Slocum, New York, as a private in the Army Air Corps headed to Panama,” he said. He got to Panama a month later. His first job was working on radios in P-26s, open-cockpit fighter planes. Then the war started. Wanamaker entered flying school in Muskogee, Oklahoma.
