Tires Dumped in Illahee Preserve. We just got back in town to find several emails regarding some tires dumped in the Illahee Preserve.
Photo. Attached is a photo of the dumped tires.
A Possible Clue? We received the following email that is possibly a clue. Evidently the email was sent to the sheriff's office, but we don't know if any action was taken.
I am following up on an unfortunate incident at Illahee Preserve. Sometime between last Tuesday evening 8/11 and Wednesday morning 8/12, somebody dumped 13 tires within the Illahee Preserve parking lot along Almira Drive. See photo attached. That's a lot of tires.
Kitsap County Public Works is likely removing the tires today. Disposal will be paid from funds secured thru a grant for dumping things such as tires. Waste Management typically charges $5 to $6 per tire for disposal.
Illahee Community Meeting on Saturday. There is a very important Illahee Community Meeting scheduled for this coming Saturday, Aug 22, at 1:30 pm at the Library. We know of two items that are scheduled to be on the agenda. The first is Timbers Edge and what action to take pending the Appeal hearing that will take place on Monday evening. The second is a 5 year long project to keep cleaning out the Illahee Creek culvert and place the material along the beach. There should be more information on these two items at the meeting.
Loose Guinea Hens? We may be a little late on this one.
Just in case anyone writes about seeing some strange birds wandering the area, five of our guineas took off on Wednesday. They are one dark gray rooster and one light gray hen, with three medium size (half grown) chicks. They were last near the mouth of the Gilberton creek on Thursday evening. They like to fly high in trees when you get close to them. They can be quite vocal...
Coyote Information. We were given the following link on coyotes. We have a number of coyotes in the area of the Illahee Preserve and elsewhere around Illahee. Since they sometimes wander through the area, we thought this good information to pass on. http://wdfw.wa.gov/living/crossing_paths/summer2009/cross_06.html
Keep the Infomation Coming. We will try to keep up with the information you send in.
