Port Townsend Thanks Pierce County
In a spirit of appreciation, the City of Port Townsend has commissioned local artist Max Grover to create a painting to give to Pierce County officials as a formal thank you for use of the Steilacoom II ferry since January 2008.
“We are deeply grateful to Pierce County for their willingness to let Washington State Ferries lease the Steilacoom II ferry and keep traffic moving between Port Townsend and Whidbey Island,” said Port Townsend Mayor Michelle Sandoval. “The message on the painting sums it up perfectly—‘On behalf of all those who ride the ferry, the City of Port Townsend thanks the people of Pierce County for the use of the Steilacoom II in our time of need.’”
If members of the public also wish to express their thanks to Pierce County, a card is available to sign at City Hall, Suite 2, between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. , Monday through Friday, until November 12. Max Grover’s painting will be on display in the office as well.
