Vehicle law changes
July 22 to affect fees,
handicapped parking
The 2007 state legislative ses-
sion has brought some changes
in vehicle licensing fees and pro-
cedures that will take effect July
22, said Mason County Auditor
Karen Herr.
House Bill 1304 seeks to pro-
tect human lives on state road-
ways by strengthening federal
and state safety regulations
governing commercial motor ve-
hicles. Fee increases in the au-
ditor's office will be a part of the
effort to establish rigorous rules
and compliance.
Registration fees for commer-
cial motor vehicles will increase
from $10 to $16, and special fuel
trip permits will increase from
$25 to $30. These additional fees
will be deposited with the Wash-
ington State Patrol and be used
for commercial motor vehicle in-
spections.
Also, vehicle three-day trip
permits will cost $25 instead of
$20 per permit, and WSP inspec-
tion fees will be raised from $50
to $65.
Another new law affects park-
ing for the handicapped. The
Washington State Department
of Licensing is required to grant
special parking privileges to any
person who has a disability that
limits or impairs the ability to
walk. Porphyria, acute sensitivity
to light, has been added to the list
of disabilities for special parking
privileges. And physician assis-
tants have been added to the list
of persons eligible to determine if
an individual meets the criteria
for the issuance of special park-
ing privileges.

County entities join l brce'
post new tourism Web "
A new tourism Web site featur-
ing Mason County is now open for
business.
The site, a cooperative venture
of the county's two chambers of
commerce and local governments,
showcases the Hood Canal and
South Puget Sound region. It was
funded by lodging-tax revenue.
The site, www.explorehood-
canal.corn, features editorial con-
tent, photography, mapping capa-
bilities and panoramic views of the
area. Visitors will find lodging and
dining information, discover things
to see and do and view an extensive
event calendar. They will also have
the ability to post and read on top-
ics in blogs.
THE WEB SITE takes advan-
tage of Web 2.0 technology includ-
ing social networking, Google maps
and blogging.
Those with special interests,
such as kayaking, biking, hiking or
golfing, are encouraged to post to
the blog for that category. As of last
week there were already more than
80 posts to the blogs. It's a chance
to share personal knowledge or ask
a question of the community.
The chambers are also asking
visitors to post their tourism pho-
tos or share their opinion on the
blogs.
Businesses and organizations
are encouraged to add their own
listings for publication on the site.
All listed tourism-related business-
es and organizations are invited to
add a description and photograph
to their listing for no charge. The
chambers are also asking business-
es and organizations to add a link
to the Web site.
THE PROJECT was co-man-
aged by Frank Kenny of the North
Mason Chamber of Commerce and
Dick Taylor of the Shelton-Mason
County Chamber of Commerce.
Those two executive directors
worked with the Joint Chamber
Tourism Advisory Council, a com-
mittee of volunteers from around
Mason County who provided ad-
vice to determine the direction and
focus of the Web site. The project
was also strongly supported by Ma-
son County, the City of Shelton and
the Squaxin Island Indian Tribe.
In addition to the Web site, the
chambers and tourism advisory
council also produced a new full-
color tourism brochure for Mason
County. Some 125,000 copies are
now being distributed on Washing-
ton State ferries and throughout
Western Washington. The bro-
chure invites visitors to come and
explore Hood Canal, South Puget
Sound and the Olympics.
Hood Canal Creative, a
professional writers, desi
photographers from Mason
ty, provided the material
Web site and brochure.
The Web site and

marketing strategy with
of drawing people to visit,
