Dear Pierce County Residents: I Am So Very Pleased to Announce That Cathy Pearsall-Stipek, Pierce County Auditor; Patricia Goldman, National Postal Forum Secretary; William Henderson, Postmaster General; Pat McCarthy, Deputy Auditor; Lori Augino, Election Specialist Dear Pierce County Residents: I am so very pleased to announce that the Pierce County Election Department was the recipient on September 29, 1999 of the National Postal Forum and the United States Post Office distinguished “Mailing Excellence Award,” the only award given in the Government Category. Deputy Auditor Pat McCarthy, Election Specialist Lori Augino and myself were privileged to receive the beautiful sculptured Steuben Crystal Award. The Mailing Excellence Award was created to honor outstanding achievement in the effective use of the U.S. mail to meet marketing objectives. The award was based on entrants’ use of the service of the United States Postal Services as the primary medium for delivery of the product, message, etc. The three categories were *Business, *Government and *Nonprofit. In early 1994, a team was established: the Auditor’s Office, the local U.S. Post Office, Griffin Envelope Company and Uarco, a manufacturer. Our goal was to design and produce an envelope that would meet all the criteria to be used for Absentee-Vote by Mail. After many tries, in 1999 one was perfected. Results: Voter participation has risen substantially and we have been able to save the taxpayers in excess of $560,000.00 in postage alone over the past five years. I’m so proud of my staff for their accomplishments – Hope you are too.

  • What's in a Name? John Swan and Swan Creek Park
    What’s in a Name? John Swan and Swan Creek Park By Claire Keller-Scholz Art, Culture, & Heritage Administrator for Metro Parks Tacoma Park History On the border between southeast Tacoma and the Puyallup Tribal Reservation is a 373 acre park named for the creek that runs through it. Swan Creek Park is going through the midst of a Master Plan update process this year, and the public had questions about the origins of the name. Most of the written history of the park focuses in the 1930s and ‘40s, when the city built housing for war workers in the greenspace along the south east edge of Tacoma. The Salishan neighborhood extended into what is now Swan Creek Park, with 1,600 units of housing built by 1943. The houses were never intended to be permanent residences, and in the mid- 1950s many of them were pulled down. But how did the creek get its name? A rumor recently emerged that the park was named for an “Indian Agent” who interned Native Americans during the 1850s Treaty Wars. There was a man named John Swan who was put in charge of Fox Island when it was used to confine non-combatant native peoples during the period in question, but he was not the man for whom the park is named. Research indicates that Swan Creek was named for John and Jane Swan, Puyallup tribal members who lived nearby the land feature in the 1890s. [Author’s note: since this article was first published, it has come to the author’s attention that there is an additional source of the name “Swan Creek”.

  • Dupont Heritage Plan
    1 DuPont Heritage Plan Presented to the City of DuPont By the DuPont Historical Society 2014 “In a nutshell, planning is the process of figuring out where you want to go, evaluating where you are now, and identifying how you can reach your destination……. Susan L. Henry Renaud, Preservation Planning, National Park Service 2 Introduction Historic places are important to every community. In an age of change, they help provide a sense of needed continuity. Indeed, they greatly contribute to a sense of place which can unite residents. Also historic places, when properly presented, can attract tourists to a town. This would naturally benefit the local economy. The City of DuPont is blessed with many significant historic places. They include both buildings and sites. Together these places tell the amazing story of the DuPont area. This story began with the Nisqually Indian occupation of the land. It continued with the Euro-American explorers of the late 18th and early 19th Centuries. Then the British owned Hudson’s Bay Company in the 19th Century established a sequential series of trading posts called Fort Nisqually that changed life forever in the Southern Puget Sound region. Encounters with Native Americans, Missionaries, and American Settlers brought cooperation and conflict. The Medicine Creek Treaty and Puget Sound Indian War shifted the power to the Americans and their homesteads. Change came again in the early 20th Century when the DuPont Company bought land and set up an explosives factory. The Company employees and their families were first housed in temporary tar paper shacks, but soon the historic village of DuPont took shape.
