KPTZ’s Taylor Clark and Port Townsend City Manager John Mauro were joined by Water Resources Operations Manager Michael Spears and Director of Public Works Steve King. We talked about the situation with our water.

(Airdate: May 26, 2026) Maryanne delves into history for this one-hour presentation of KPTZ: The First 15 Years. The station first went live in May 2011 and it’s been something of a bumpy road. Three key individuals offer their views on our launch and growth: LARRY STEIN, founding program director; ROBERT AMBROSE, who headed the station during the pandemic and initiated the move into new headquarters at Fort Worden, and TAYLOR CLARK, who took over and had the IT chops to conquer the technology for moving forward. This is the definitive history of the little station that could!

(Airdate: May 22, 2026) This week on County Connections, co-hosts Commissioner Heidi Eisenhour and Jim Burke welcome three guests from businesses at Chimacum Corner. Andrew Byers from Finnriver Farm & Cidery, Simon Walter-Hansen from Chimacum Café, and Nicole Witham from Chimacum Corner Farmstand. They relate what each business does and their current septic systems and “septage’ outflows, and the possibility of hooking up that area to the Port Hadlock sewer system which is just one and a half miles from Chimacum Corner. There could be potential environmental benefits as well as greater capacity for customers at all three businesses. This would have the added benefit of helping the businesses to grow and thrive.
