ABOVE: Gov. Jay Inslee, sporting a Seattle
Seahawks wristband and a hoarse voice after the
Seahawks' downtown Seattle victory parade Feb.
5, addresses the audience at the "Boldt 40" event
at the Squaxin Island Tribe's Skookum Creek Event
Center. The event marked the 40th anniversary of
the landmark decision that affirmed tribal fishing
rights, and brought together the treaty tribes
of Western Washington. The governor praised
those "who fought for justice for so many years
... They were truly on the right side of the law."
RIGHT: Billy Frank Jr., chairman of the Northwest
Indian Fisheries Commission, is presented with a
blanket. Frank, a member of the Nisqually Indian
tribe, helped lead the demonstrations and 'ish-
ins" during the 1960s and '70s that, along with the
accompanying lawsuits, led to the Boldt decision
of 1974 that restored to the federally recognized
tribes the legal right to fish as they always had.

County approves
surplus of properties
The Mason County Board of Commissioners
approved a motion to surplus 32 properties, with
a total assessed value of $774,225.
The parcels are either remnants of land left
over from road projects, are owned by the county
because of land exchanges or were foreclosed on
for non payment of property taxes.
Commissioners Terri Jeffreys and Randy Neat-
herlin vted for the proposal. Commissioner Tim
Sheldo was absent.
After a landowner has not paid property taxes
for three years, the Mason County Treasurer's
Office begins the tax foreclosure process in the
fourth year, and if the landowner does not pay at
least one year of the overdue taxes, the county
assumes ownership of the land.
Proceeds from the sale of the property will goto-
ward delinquent property tax obligations and other
penalties, expenses and assessments, to the reim-
bursement of the county's property management
fund and to the reserve fund for accrued leave.
County tables motions
on land vacations
The Mason County Board of commissioners
agreed Tuesday to table motions to approve two
land vacations in the county.
Commissioner Randy Neatherlin asked to ta-
ble the items because Commissioner Tim Sheldon
was absent from Tuesday's meeting.
The first land vacation was also tabled at the
commission's Feb. 4 meeting and concerns a rec-
ommendation to vacate a portion of Wheelwright
Street and an alley in Allyn.
The Mason County hearing examiner has rec-
ommended approving the proposed vacation.
The second motion concerned vacating a por-
tion of a right of way in a cul-de-sac known as
East Shore Place.
