Hello friends,
I'm in Chelan for a few days and love this lake....though I miss the "Redmond green." The photo [above] is our sign announcing the Perrigo Heights citizen march in November with the mayor and councilmembers [minus Mr. John P. (Pat) Vache]. The march in the woods was to demonstrate our love and hopes to preserve the woodlands and riparian habitat along Perrigo Creek.

We were partly successful. Partly.... 3.5 acres of the riparian remnant are preserved...another 8 acres of the mixed hardwood-conifer forest have yet to be saved by a Parks bond or citizenry or corporate donations. Too bad, especially for future generations. We can do better. You'll find posted some Perrigo forest photos taken on a foggy day in 2004. Good evening,

UPDATE, 2/17/2007: The Redmond Reporter is under new management and now is a true paper, rather than a city voice. I was fortunate to be offered a column called "Citizen Watch" by the new Editor, John Huether. Bill Christianson has since taken over the reigns as Editor. We value our Redmond Reporter. Together we make Redmond better.

UPDATE, 7/16/2022: Julia Brand brought the proposed Perrigo Heights development to Mayor Rosemarie Ives attention. Rosemarie initiated the "march" by inviting developer, Eric Campbell to join Councilmembers Robinson, McCormick, Cole (and others) in assessing the "40% Steep Slope" sewer line location for safety. Susan Wilkins, a geologist, had her whole family in the woods along the trail measuring to assess geologic stability. I set up an table-top exhibit to show walkers Indian artifacts and educate the ecology of Perrigo woodlands and wetlands. Mayor Ives ultimately "encouraged" Campbell to buffer the development away from the "Ashford Trail" and Hartman wetlands. In the process trees were saved. B.Y.
