Port Commissioner Leif Erickson - "Port considers sale of 57 acres to Coast Seafoods"

"Port considers sale of 57 acres to Coast Seafoods"

"To counter rumors with fact, the Port of Port Townsend hosts a public meeting Thursday, July 19 to discuss the proposed sale of about 57 acres of property in Quilcene to Coast Seafoods Co.

Port Commissioner Leif Erickson and senior staff first met with five community leaders in Quilcene on June 19. Coast Seafoods had expressed a desire to purchase the property, a portion of which it already occupies under a long-term lease.

The July 19 public meeting is the first step in an open process, said Larry Crockett, port executive director, and a resolution is not anticipated before September.

“If we have a final decision by Labor Day, we’ll be doing good,” Crockett said.

The July 19 community meeting starts at 6 p.m. at the Quilcene Community Center, 294952 U.S. Highway 101. Coast Seafoods officials intend to take part in the discussion."
