County Commissioners agree on precinct names By NATALIE JOHNSON natalie@masoncountyocom Last Tuesday, Jan. 17, the Mason County Board of Commissioners voted to give each of the county's 39 voting precincts a name, in addition to a number. This Monday, Jan. 23, Commissioners Lynda Ring Erickson and Steve Bloom- field approved specific names for the precincts during a 12:30 p.m. briefing. "The boundaries have changed, the numbers have changed. To have no names would be kind of the straw that broke the camel's back," said Mason County Auditor Karen Herr. Originally, the briefing was scheduled for 2 p.m., but was rescheduled early Mon- day. Herr said she invited a few members of the citizens advisory committee that helped in the redistricting process earlier this summer, but didn't have time to ad- vise them of the new briefing time. The auditor's office also changed the precinct num- bers to reflect the commis- sion district in which it re- sides. For example, precinct 4 is now called Precinct 304, because it is in the third commissioner district. It now als0 .willbe called the Hill- side Precinct. In most cases, Bloomfield and Ring Erickson approved the first choices of the audi- tor's office and the advisory committee. "I thought the rest were pretty straightforward," Ring Erickson said. "I think most of these convey to peo- ple where the place is." The commission also of- ficially voted last Tuesday, Jan. 17 to approve the addi- tion of two voting precincts. After the Washington State Redistricting Commission voted to split the county be- tween the 6th and 10th Con- gressional Districts. The lines of the 10th dis- trict cut several precincts in half and according to state law, the county had to re- draw the affected precincts. Ring Erickson and Bloomfield decided Monday to name the first new pre- cinct, number 207, Kamilche Point. Name suggestions for the second new precinct, num- ber 205, which is west of Shelton, and includes part of the city limits, included Westside, Deegan and Shad- ow Valley. Ring Erickson suggested calling the precinct Bordeaux instead, after the Bordeaux family, some of the earliest settlers in Mason County. "It's a historic name for the area," she said. Mason County Election Superintendent Amber Cer- vantes said Monday a com- plete list of precinct names should be available on the Mason County website in a week.
