    Wood Weiss|Apr 10, 2024

    My name is Wood Weiss and I am the Chief of Skagit Fire District 13.

    Greg Whiting|Apr 10, 2024

    The tide-based currents in the Swinomish Channel may offer a local source of reliable, predictable renewable energy. Several people have asked me whether this natural resource could be developed to power greater La Conner, including Shelter Bay and Swinomish Village. A tidal energy system must be durable, reliable and capable of being installed and maintained cost-effectively in salt water. Doing all this has been challenging, so the engineering needed to extract energy from tidal currents...
