LETTER TO THE EDITOR | Wonn Road is too special to give up

Editor, Standing at an easily identifiable road end with my toes at the water’s edge, at a spot where I know I have the right to stand, feeling the seascape and its moods in front of me is a right I take for granted, need and enjoy. So I speak not just for myself but for all who will come after me. Our islands have far too few of these spots to give up even one. No amount of money (or gifts of other stretches of beach) can replace these access points which would be lost in perpetuity, forever. I ask the Island County commissioners not to drop the Wonn Road court case. Do not accept a settlement offer.

Editor,

Standing at an easily identifiable road end with my toes at the water’s edge, at a spot where I know I have the right to stand, feeling the seascape and its moods in front of me is a right I take for granted, need and enjoy. So I speak not just for myself but for all who will come after me. Our islands have far too few of these spots to give up even one. No amount of money (or gifts of other stretches of beach) can replace these access points which would be lost in perpetuity, forever.

I ask the Island County commissioners not to drop the Wonn Road court case. Do not accept a settlement offer.
