Join me in supportive appreciation of our sheriff and deputies, and in the expectation of focused, continuing improvement for our community.
Thank you!
The amount of vandalism, destruction of property and vehicle breaking and entering is a blight in our community. I’m hearing of multiple instances of this taking place on Orcas. So depressing.
I sincerely ask, what is the Sheriff doing about it?
Is there any investigation or plan to combat the dozens of occurrences of these crimes?
The sheriffs helped me recover a stolen seakayak. Yay sheriffs!
