From the Editor: Thank you to folks who have responded. This is GiveBIG week and I'm asking you to consider supporting Salish Current, a three-year-old online, nonprofit newsroom serving Whatcom, San Juan and Skagit counties (40th/42nd Legislative Districts). Salish Current is free to read, free from advertising and from private interest because we believe fact-based news is a community service, not a for-profit business. Readers support reporters who are paid for their news stories; everyone else is a volunteer. Please take a look at the latest weekly newsletter and, if you like it, subscribe for free. If you can support Salish Current, please GiveBIG. Thanks, Mike Sato.
