Brooklyn firefighters raise a flag at the site of the World Trade Center in New York on Sept. 11, 2001. The flag apparently turned up in Everett under mysterious circumstances.
Lost 9/11 flag thought to be found in Everett An investigation into the mystery took two years BY DIANA HEFLEY AND RIKKI KING THE EVERETT DAILY HERALD
EVERETT — The two Everett police detectives didn’t know
the flag was missing until a stranger rang the doorbell at Fire Station 1 on Rucker Avenue. The man handed over a plastic bag to firefighters, along with a tale that led the detectives on the investigation of a lifetime. On Aug. 4, a curator from the National September 11 Memorial Museum made a quiet visit to the Everett police station. She collected the American flag and its rigging rope and hardware.
Detectives Jim Massingale and Mike Atwood breathed easier. They had kept their promises and secrets. The flag was safe. It was headed home. The museum unveiled the flag Thursday at a ceremony in New York City, near where three firefighters raised it over the rubble hours after terrorists brought down the World Trade Center. TURN

Staff to buy one boat that reaches finish for $10,000 BY CYDNEY MCFARLAND PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT TOWNSEND — Competitors in next summer’s Race to Alaska will have more than one chance to gain $10,000. Race to Alaska staff will buy one of the boats that reaches Ketchikan, Alaska, for $10,000. It will be first-come, firstserved, with competitors given five minutes after they dock in Ketchikan to sell the boat that brought them there over 750 miles from Port Townsend. “There are only a few reasons we think you’d sell your boat to us,” said Jake Beattie, executive
director of the ALSO . . . Northwest Mar■ PTHS itime Center. students “One, you’re take part in really charitawooden boat ble. Two, it was festival/C1 so much of a hate mission, you want to walk away from your boat like it’s on fire.” The new twist on the race was announced at Friday’s Race to Alaska Blazer Party. The party is named for the thrift store blazers that were issued to racers. TURN

PA Lefties name of new West Coast team Olympic marmot to be the mascot BY ROB OLLIKAINEN PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — The newest baseball team in the West Coast League will take the field next summer as the Port Angeles Lefties. The mascot? An Olympic marmot. Team officials unveiled the nickname at a Thursday event hosted by the Clallam County Economic Development Corp. and the Port Angeles Downtown Association. “As a left-hander, I think that’s an inspired choice,” Mayor Patrick 691678677

Downie said. Lefties co-owner Matt Acker said the name and mascot will tell a story about the game. “It is hard to name a baseball team and not have Major League Baseball step on you,” Acker added. Team officials wanted to name the squad after the Olympic marmot, but the licensing fees to the Marmot outdoor clothing company were too costly. “We just will not print the word marmot on our uniform,” Acker told a crowd of about 80 at the Vern Burton Community Center. “It will be great for kids to see
out there.” An official logo is still in development, team co-owner Dean Reynolds said. The Lefties’ colors are surf blue, sunset orange and metallic silver. The West Coast League is a wooden bat league where college athletes from major conferences hone their skills over the summer. The league has helped produce more than 200 major leaguers and had 85 prospects in this year’s draft. “I hope that you will cheer for and support the young men who themselves hope that one day they will put on a major league uniform,” said Downie, a longtime ROB OLLIKAINEN/PENINSULA DAILY NEWS baseball fan. The new Port Angeles Lefties caps will feature orange PA TURN TO LEFTIES/A6 lettering on a sky-blue background.
