How- ever, the discovery of springs and a difficult grade along Simmons Road has made the extension project more complicated than originally expected. "It will be a good project. It will take a little longer, but it will be primarily a safety project," he said. "It has been a safety concern for some time." Sheldon said the Squaxin Is- land Tribe has also expressed an interest in possibly partnering with the county and state on the project. * Full Service- A/P, A/R, Payroll, Accounting & Taxes • Business & Individual • Free E-File for our clients * Meet, drop or call-in consultations- Tax preparation without leaving home • Great prices - We take the time to listen Joanne L.
