Great day in Olympia at Lobby Day 2013. 
Just some of the folks that came down from Jefferson County! The weather cooperated and we thank Representatives Van de Wege and Steve Tharinger, and Senator James Hargrove. The speech in the Rotunda by Governor Inslee was very impressive. The logistics by the Environmental Coalition was smooth and painless. Nice job folks!
More on the outcome of Lobby Day tomorrow.

Ongoing: PT Marine Science Center - Learning from Orcas - The Story of Hope"
The Port Townsend Marine Science Center (PTMSC) is thrilled to announce the opening of a new exhibit, "Learning from Orcas—The Story of Hope," which will be the centerpiece in the Natural History Exhibit in Fort Worden State Park.
The exhibit opens Saturday, September 29th at noon. Admission is free to the public on Saturday and Sunday of that weekend, and open from noon to 4 p.m
The new exhibit tells a story that started in 2002 when a transient orca called CA 189—later named Hope by PTMSC students—beached herself and died in the Dungeness Spit area. Her story continues to the present day through the work of scientists, community members and PTMSC staff and volunteers. Hope’s skeleton has been articulated and will be hanging in the Natural History Exhibit.
