Letter to the Editor: Mayor Murphy’s Election Benefits Children’s House

I’m Murphy, the new Honorary Mayor of Eastsound and I’m excited about my new position serving the Orcas Island Community.

First, I want to thank April for her “outstanding” job as mayor and I wish her well in her retirement. In addition, I want to thank all of the candidates for participating in this year’s campaign and to the voters who contributed more than $3500 to benefit Children’s House.

I am looking forward to meeting my constituents at the Orcas Island Offleash Park and I challenge all of their owners to help keep that area maintained and open.

Let’s keep our beaches clean and I am requesting more carrots at the Farmers Market. I just love them.

My year in office will be transparent and I welcome any and all comments and suggestions from our islanders. Thanks again for your support.

Murphy, Honorary Mayor
