In one place, I found information on where to register to vote, how to get a library card and even where to go golfing. I learned about communities and school districts, and even how much rain to expect. We've debated over the years whether the West Sound publication was a visitor's guide, a newcomer's guide or a community guide for residents. We finally realized that it was all three. I still use the West Sound guide as a tool to attract new employees and help them settle into the community.
Tourists pick up copies on the ferries and in motel rooms.
And residents keep their West Sound guides nestled next to the phone book for easy reference. This year, we've added more information on everything from emergency services and campgrounds to West Sound's Native American communities. Whether you're a lifelong resident of West Sound or a recent arrival, we hope you'll find West Sound 2001 a useful addition to your library.
