New cemetery proposed
The Jefferson County Land Trust has filed a permit with the county to establish a green cemetery and to practice “conservation burial activities” on a 36-acre Marrowstone Island property.
The nonprofit land conservation organization said it has been exploring conservation burial since 2021, forming Olympic Wildlands Burial Grounds LLC in 2022. However, many island residents were unaware of the proposal until Jan. 15, when notices went out to nearby residents about the permit application. Interested parties have until 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday Jan. 29 to email comments to David Wayne Johnson, county planner, at djohnson@co.jefferson.wa.us
Doc’s now Salish Grill
After 12 years as Doc’s Marina Grill in Port Townsend, the waterfront restaurant has been renamed Salish Grill by owners Tom and Tessa Aydelotte.
Tom Aydelotte said the Port Townsend restaurant needed to rebrand because it “essentially handcuffed by our big sister restaurant” on Bainbridge Island. “Our chef had a limited number of suppliers from which to order, which restricted our ability to fully embrace local and seasonal products.”
The Aydelottes and their manager will continue to run the Port Townsend restaurant, but Salish Grill will source ingredients from local farms and smaller purveyors, enabling the kitchen to craft seasonal menus.
