Editor’s note: This is the fourth in a series of interviews for contested Sequim elections in the Nov. 7 General Election. This week it’s Maren Halvorsen, who was appointed to the seat, versus challenger Derek Huntington, running for Sequim School Board Director at-large Position 4 — a non-partisan, two-year unexpired term. Halvorsen has served since February 2022
I made the mistake once of going west from Sequim Avenue on Fir St. to attend a 3 p.m. meeting on Fifth Avenue. As I approached Helen Haller school, I began to feel the pressure of multiple cars converging on the school.
Some good news for Sequim school advocates came on May 8, though a host of parents and teachers continue to plead with school board directors and administrators to halt a plan to reconfigure the district’s elementary schools.
