The Port of South Whidbey is expected to appoint a replacement for former Commissioner Dennis Gregoire from a pool of three candidates Wednesday.

The board will hold a special session and interviews at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 11, at the district’s headquarters, 1804 Scott Road in Freeland underneath China City. A workshop will be held 30 minutes before at 5 p.m.

The candidates include Wayne Morrison of Bayview, Bill Criswell of Freeland, and Yang “Jack” Ng, also of Freeland. They were the only respondents of the port’s call for interested parties earlier this month.

Morrison has called South Whidbey home for more than 20 years, is a small business owner and the president of the Island County Economic Development Council’s board.

His name may be recognizable from his 2012 run for Island County commissioner.

Criswell moved to South Whidbey in 2002, according to a short bio submitted to the port, and is a partner in a building company with his son.

Finally, Ng has called the South End home since 2000. He’s the owner of three China City restaurants, two of which are located on Whidbey Island — Freeland and Oak Harbor.
