Welcome to the Clallam County GOP!
Bob Robinson passes
With great sadness, we share the news of the passing of R.W. (Bob) Robinson, a lifetime Sequim resident, a veteran, a very active Republican and Precinct Committee Officer (PCO) and prolific letter writer to the newspapers to help spread the message. He passed away on Thursday, May 17, 2012. Bob always brought a witticism or two to every meeting, had great knowledge of political affairs from national to local, and was a wonderful Christian man. We will miss him greatly.
A memorial service has not yet been scheduled – we will keep you advised as to date, time and place.
VOTER ID CARDS
The existing 95 precincts have been merged and reduced to 67. The County Auditor’s office has mailed new voter ID cards reflecting the new precinct each voter is in. Some have been merged; others have not. All precincts (even the existing ones that haven’t changed) have been given new names (a combination word name and precinct number).
If you have not received your voter ID card,
notify the office of the county auditor: 417-2221.

The Hotels Are Filling Up
The WSRP reserved blocks of rooms for convention attendees in all of the nearby hotels. However, some hotels are close to capacity. The Courtyard Marriott (across the street from the Convention Center) is completely full and the Murano (1 block from the Convention Center) is filling fast. The two next closest hotels are the Best Western Tacoma Dome, which is on the Link Light Rail line so you can leave your car at the hotel and ride the train to the Convention Center. The La Quinta Inn and Suites is also within walking distance of the Link Light Rail.
