Port Townsend is the one stop on the epic tribal canoe journey each year that
is not on a reservation. Nonetheless, working
in tandem with the Jamestown S’Klallam tribe, the town manages each year to
roll out the red carpet for the paddlers, welcoming them with baked goods and
fruit at the shore, providing campsites and dinner for up to 1300 visitors, along
with traffic direction, signage, parking and shuttle services. KPTZ Compass went behind the scenes this year
to bring you this collage of voices from the people who make it happen:

David Walker on his life
My good friend David Walker didn't let even the news of his own impending death interrupt his daily routine.
For many years, David entertained what he called his "breakfast club," a group of men (mostly) who would come by the house he shared with his wife Della (who almost never rose to join the party) at what seemed to Della to be an ungodly early hour.
I was invited to only one breakfast club meeting, just a month before David died of cancer, and I interviewed him about his amazing and exemplary life:
