It will attract thousands of visitors and bring millions of dollars to the local area. The beautiful Jervis Bay region is a playground for surfers, cyclists, runners, and nature lovers alike and therefore a fitting location to host this extreme triathlon event.

The race consisted of a rough water swim, a mountain bike race, and a trail run. It represented a bold new racing format that attracted outdoor enthusiasts, adventure seekers, mountain bikers and triathletes. The mountain bikers brought their laid-back style and bold self-assurance. The triathletes brought their hard-core training and avid dedication. They soon discovered a common “Live More” spirit that pulled them together. The relationship flourished into an internationally- recognized brand called XTERRA, and today there are tens of thousands of athletes not only taking part in the races, but truly living the lifestyle. A fitting representation of this “XTERRA Tribe” - several hundred athletes from 14 countries – will gather at Callala Beach on pristine Jervis Bay, New South Wales; and on Saturday, April 26 at 11am, they’ll put their mental and physical tough- ness up against Mother Nature at the inaugural XTERRA Asia-Pacific Championship triathlon. Two TV shows featuring the event will be producced for international distribution.

Pierce County is one of the few counties in Washington State that continues to mail voters’ pamphlets to every household. We believe the pamphlet gives you important information – the written statement of each candidate. The 2014 Primary ballot The purpose of the Primary Election is to determine which candidates appear on the General Election ballot in November. In contested races, your votes send the top two vote-getters in each offi ce to the General Election. Many important offi ces are on this year’s ballot including congressional offi ces, state senators and representatives, county offi ces, judicial races and some of you will vote on a local levy or bond. Video voters’ guide Have you ever looked over your ballot and wondered, “Who are these people?” Do you wish you could meet each candidate before casting your vote? We found a way to bring the candidate to you, wherever you are. The Auditor's Offi ce partnered with Pierce County Television (PCTV) to pilot a new video voters’ guide for county offi ces (Auditor, Prosecuting Attorney and County Council). Participation was optional and candidates paid a videotaping fee. Look for the QR code at the bottom of the candidate’s statement. Simply scan the code with your smartphone and a short YouTube video will run, for a face-to-face with the candidate! Ballot drop boxes We added two new ballot drop boxes this year, one in Orting and one in Graham.
