WAHKIAKUM COUNTY FERRY NAMING CONTEST STILL OPEN
Wahkiakum County officials still are seeking submissions to their ferry-naming contest. As of last Thursday, only three entries had been officially submitted. So far they’ve only got three entries.
County Clerk Marsha LaFarge told the Daily News there have actually been several more suggestions, but an official application must be filled out for the suggestions to be accepted.
The new Puget Island-to-Westport ferry is expected to go into service next year and replace the existing vessel, named the Wahkiakum. Suggested names should reflect local symbols, tribes, geographical features or communities that are important to the region. The contest is open to everyone, not just Wahkiakum County residents.
To make an official submission to the contest, participants must fill out an application on Wahkiakum County’s website, www.co.wahkiakum.wa.us or pick one up on the third floor of the county Courthouse at 64 Main St. in Cathlamet.
The deadline for entries is Feb. 15.
