Chapter 4: Destinations – Utilitarian And
Jefferson County Non-Motorized Transportation and Recreational Trails Plan 2010 Chapter 4: Destinations – Utilitarian and Recreational 2010 Plan Update: Chapter 4 Destinations provides a broad picture of Jefferson County: where people live, work, go to school, shop, and recreate and the locations of tourist facilities and significant public facilities. This information is intended to inform decisions about connecting these destinations with non-motorized transportation facilities. It is not intended as an up-to-date guide. While Chapter 4 has not been updated, it still performs its intended function. This chapter has been retained in the original 2002 Plan format. County, City, Port, School District, State, Federal, and private enterprises have developed an extensive number of commercial, employment, business, educational, recreational, and other public facilities within the County. This extensive array of facilities is of interest to non-motorized transportation and recreational trail users. This chapter describes the most significant destinations. 4.1 Schools The Brinnon, Chimacum, Port Townsend, Queets-Clearwater, Quilcene, Quillayute Valley, and Sequim School Districts provide educational services to Jefferson County residents. Brinnon School District The school district collects students by bus within the district’s service area – which includes all of Brinnon and the areas along US-101 from the Mason County line to Mt Walker and transports them to the central school site. Upper grade students are bused to Quilcene High School. The district operates 6 school bus routes beginning at 6:35-9:00 am and ending at 3:46-4:23 pm for the collection and distribution of different school grades and after school programs. -
Olympic Peninsula Chapter Washington Native Plant Society October 2018 Through January 2019 Fall Newsletter
Olympic Peninsula Chapter Washington Native Plant Society October 2018 through January 2019 Fall Newsletter To promote the appreciation and conservation of Washington’s native plants and their habitats through study, education and advocacy Do you know what the earth meditates upon in autumn? (Why not give a medal to the first golden leaf?) from Pablo Neruda’s The Book of Questions…. The summer brought an exploration of wildflowers in the higher places. Fall brings a more reflective mood as the cool weather and decreasing light approach. This newsletter is intended as a general summation of what we as a chapter plan to do over the next few months and what continues to inspire us. Pay attention to the trip leaders and authors for updates on specifics. FALL EVENTS Duckabush River Short Trails. Saturday October 20, 2018. Meet at the Quilcene Ranger Station at 9:00 AM to carpool. We will explore the Interrorem Nature trail, an historical interpretive loop trail, before starting down the Rang- er Hole Trail, 0.8-mile-long, which meanders through forest until the last 500' where it descends steeply to the riv- er. Then we'll drive to Collins Campground for lunch along the river. After lunch we'll drive to the 0.8-mile-long Murhut Falls trail, through second growth forest to old growth forest around the falls. Bring your hand lens, field guides, and a lunch. Note: This is a weather-dependent trip. Please let me know if you are interested so I can notify you if there is a change of plans. -
Fort Worden State Park •Glaciers •Bluffs •Beaches •The Human Hand
The Geology of Fort Worden State Park •Glaciers •Bluffs •Beaches •The Human Hand Geologic processes created the land we call Fort Worden—and the land will continue to change as water, wind, gravity, people, and time influence this beautiful part of Washington. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ GLACIERS The land you see all around you is a legacy of glacial activity. About two million years ago a great, global Ice Age began. During the Ice Age, at least six glacial cycles occurred in the Puget Sound region. Each glacier— immense lobes of ice extending from the Canadian ice sheet—ground its way southward, gouging and shoving the terrain it crossed and carrying immense loads of rock from the north that were deposited as the ice moved and melted. During warmer interglacial periods, the climate was similar to today. The most recent ice advance, the Fraser Glaciation, entered Washington about 18,000 years ago. While the Puget lobe slowly filled the existing lowland between the Olympic Mountains and the Cascade Range, the Juan de Fuca lobe moved westward in the area that is now the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Global sea level dropped as water was bound up in the ice masses. At its greatest regional extent about 17,000 years ago, the ice was as much as 4,000 feet thick at Port Townsend, and its great weight pressed the land surface in this area down about 200 feet below its present level. The global climate soon began to re-warm, and sea level rose. By about 16,000 years ago, most of the ice here had melted away, leaving this region under a shallow sea. -
Chapter 3: Existing Facilities 2010 Plan Update: the Multi-Purpose Trail Inventory in the 2002 Plan Shows the Length of the Larry Scott Trail As 4.0 Miles
Jefferson County Non-Motorized Transportation and Recreational Trails Plan 2010 Chapter 3: Existing Facilities 2010 Plan Update: The multi-purpose trail inventory in the 2002 Plan shows the length of the Larry Scott Trail as 4.0 miles. This included both trail segments constructed to the County’s adopted standards and the existing “usage” trail on the railroad grade. Since the adoption of the 2002 Plan, Jefferson County has constructed additional trail segments. The constructed trail length is now 4.4 miles. Volunteers have developed additional segments that extend the trail to S. Discovery Road at the Discovery Bay Golf Course. These segments, while useable, are not constructed to the County’s standards and are not included in the current inventory. The remaining trail right-of-way has been acquired to the Milo Curry Road / S. Discovery Road intersection near Four Corners. Construction of the remaining trail segments is planned for substantial completion in 2011. The trail length will then be 7.6 miles. The remainder of this chapter was not revised for the 2010 Plan update. It has been retained in the original 2002 Plan format. Jefferson County, Port Townsend, Port Ludlow, Port of Port Townsend, Washington State, National Forest and Park Services, and other public and private agencies have assembled a significant inventory of non-motorized transportation and recreational trail systems within Jefferson County. These systems provide a variety of on and off-road opportunities for walking, hiking, bicycling, horse, and hand launch boat activities throughout the county. The 1998 County Comprehensive Plan provides a very limited description of the non-motorized transportation and recreational trail facilities in Jefferson County. -
