Might also ask the Port Townsend and Seattle Yacht clubs to pitch in and pay for that bridge. Since their organizations way back in the day had the current channel between Indian Island and the main land was dredged out by the Army Corp of Engineers as so they could have a safe channel of passage for their boats. The spoils from that dredging was dumped between  Indian Island and Marrowstone Islands, thus the current arrangment between the Islands. Remember Indian Island was connected to the main land until that action was taken. Marrowstone was not connected to Indian Island as it is now. There's a old kelp bed map of that area hanging in plain site that shows that past arrangment. But still why can't Quilcene have a similar bridge put in at East Quilcene? Which is more important? Public Safety or fish habitat based on guess work and presumption? Or keeping some non-profit outfits core members in a pay check? The South County suffers as always. A pile of dirt is not a legacy.
