Roadwork started in Skamokawa
July 22, 2021
LOOKING GOOD As this week begins, we started out with a very sunny Sunday morning and with temps in the low 80s, it s just what the hay makers wanted to see. The forecast is looking dry with maybe a few days with a bit of cloudiness and temperatures in the low 70s, so that s sounding perfect to me.
FIRE DANGER It s still very important to be wary of anything that could cause a spark which could start a fire. As we have seen, there are thousands of acres in our Pacific NW area that are currently burning out of control and we really don t want to have anything like that happen here in our county. If you re towing a trailer, it s best to double check those safety chains so they aren t striking/dragging along the pavement, as recently, several fires along the freeway were caused because of that very thing happening. Here s to being mindful of the dangers of fire, and may we all take extra precautions during this super dry time.
The winners are recognized at a virtual ceremony earlier this year.
âThe biennial awards ceremony is an opportunity to thank our Historic Preservation and History Awards recipients for enhancing the countyâs quality of life,â said Freeholder Brian G. Gallagher, the Cultural & Heritage Commission liaison. âSomerset County is fortunate to have so many people and organizations that understand the long-term benefits of preserving our past.â
