A brief in last week’s Sequim Gazette “Business News” (March 18, page A-7) incorrectly attributed Larsen as the sole founder of the project. Larsen is teaching a basic organic gardening class on Saturday, April 11. The class instructor was listed incorrectly in the same edition of the Gazette in “Community Gardens bloom again” (page B-1).

Clallam County officials gathered community input on the two design options at hand for Towne Road at an open house March 19. As a result of the planned setback for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 1960s levee to reduce flood risk and reconnect about 112 acres of the lower Dungeness River’s historical floodplain, Towne Road either will end with a cul-de-sac or reconnect outside of the levee setback area. A public comment period is open until Tuesday, March 31. Comments may be sent to Clallam County Public Works at 223 E. Fourth St., Set. 6, Port Angeles, WA 98362. Or e-mail comments to roads@co.clallam.wa.us.
