The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission is considering transferring ownership of Huckleberry Island to the Samish Indian Nation.

The approximately 10-acre island just east of Guemes Island no longer fits within the vision of the state agency, while the Samish have found evidence of ancestry there.

A community meeting to see what the public has to say on the issue is 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 2 at the Anacortes Public Library. The goal is to gather public comments on the potential transfer to aid the agency in making the decision.

That’s great!  Another example of Gregoire’s pathetic stewardship of my tax dollars and of the State of Washington in general.  I wonder how much “native American” money was added to her reelection campaign warchest.
