Save Those Gas $$$$$
If you're nineteen or under, you don’t need to keep pouring money into your gas tank. Clallam Transit is offering a summer-long Youth Pass (ages 6 through 19) for $10. No, that’s not a typo. A $10 pass will get you all over Clallam County between now and the Saturday before Labor Day.
Sure you'd rather drive than ride the bus, but with gas prices going through the roof, think of the money you can save.
Clallam Transit is also offering discount monthly bus passes to all Downtown Association members and their employees. The price of these passes has been reduced by more than 75%, and the passes are good for everywhere within Clallam County. To get one of these bus passes, go to the Family Shoe Store on West Front Street, P.A. This is where you get the coupons from Clallam Transit that you'll need. With these coupons you can get your bus pass at either Washington Mutual (Front and Laurel) or at the Transit System office.
Downtown Port Angeles business owners and employees are encouraged to use the parking lot at Zak's (West Front Street, downtown P.A.). You'll need a permit, but this will free up more street parking for downtown shoppers. The DNR parking lot — West of Oak Street, between the transit mall and the estuary — is also up and running and ready to be used (permit only).
P.S. — Bravo to all Port Angeles merchants who are accepting Canadian currency and have a sign in their windows indicating this. Merchants who are doing this have reported an increase in sales.

Off topic, but what is going on with the Gateway construction? It was over a week ago that they cleared everything up and decided that those bones aren't human remains. And construction work STILL hasn't started up again. What are we waiting for?
I agree with the previous comment. Downtown is already paralyzed by this construction project even when they're sitting idle for a week and a half. Get on with it!
I hope some people will take advantage of this transit offer. By the looks of the traffic all over Port Angeles, it doesn't seem like anybody has changed their driving habits. Gridlock gets worse here all the time.
Speaking of driving, bus riding, parking, ahem, there's a certain unnamed (for now at least) business owner on West First Street. This person seems to be inviting all of his/her employees, friends, acquaintances and second cousins to come on in and park all up and down West First St. Meanwhile there are some other merchants on West First Street who actually HAVE customers and would like to have some parking spaces available for these customers to park in. Understand? Shape up or ship out.
