I recieved this e-mail form Jim Brauch and am posting here for your attention:

I was contacted by a Teresa from The Herald (local newspaper) about the possible closing of the Silver Lake boat launch by the Everett Parks. I gave her my two bits worth and she was interested if others wanted to have their say. I know some of your readers fish Silver Lake so maybe you could put in the info with her phone number, 425-339-3097, and they can contact her direct. I do not know when the story will be published but comments should be made as soon as possible.

Thanks Mike. I will make the call. Anyone else interested in making a difference please place the call. I for one am tired of having our parks and access denied because of govt mishandling of funds! If no one says anything then surely they will close it.

For example...local small lake used to get trout plants. Lake Boren in Newcastle. Lots of locals brought their kids there to fish and have fun. WDFW stopped planting fish there because they were not getting feedback. They even asked about it but did not get any response.

Sometimes I think that we have only ourselves to blame because we don't care to take the time to make that phone call or write. Just think 5 minutes of time could make a big didifference. One way or the other.
