Our Efforts

In late February 2006, we obtained the January draft of the Citizens' Advisory Committee report, which exposed the CAC's plan to rezone south Fidalgo to city-block-sized lots.

The week of March 13, Save South Fidalgo mailed a letter and ballot (24kb pdf) to some 2000 south Fidalgo property owners asking if they supported the proposed rezone. We got more than 1200 responses, of which some 1100 opposed the rezone and approx 100 were in favor of the rezone.

On August 29, Save South Fidalgo hosted a standing-room-only candidate forum at the Dewey Beach Firehall. Although all four candidates were invited, the incumbent refused to attend. The candidate who received the most positive response from the crowd, Sharon Dillon, won the general election with 65% of the vote of south Fidalgo island.

On March 8, 2007, Save South Fidalgo released our proposal for a fair and open process at the county's "open mic" meeting at the Walla Walla Marine Station at Rosario Beach.
