County Commissioners agree on precinct names
By NATALIE JOHNSON

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.
