This week's business highlight is Mervin Manufacturing. They are the parent company of products by Lib Tech and Gnu. Mervin Manufacturing was owned by Quiksilver, but is now owned by Altamont. Yes, it is complicated. Anyways, they all have an interest in making snowboards. If this sort of work interests you, their address is 65 Banana Way, Sequim, WA 98382 in the Carlsborg industrial zone. Last time I was in the area, I could hear the music from outside.

Ok, that's all for this week. Have a good one.

So, I hope all you dads had a good Father's Day. Mine has been pretty slow and relaxing. On that note, this week's message will be short and sweet, because I have more relaxing to do.

My business highlight for this week is Shine Micro out of Port Ludlow. They are a marine electronics equipment company. They deal with radar and radio equipment. Stuff I used to repair a few years back. So, if you have an electronics or I.T background, you might be interested in what they do. To find more info, click here

So, I didn't get the WorkSource job. I have nothing positive to say about that.

Ok, that's all for this week. Have a good one.

So, bad news out on the West End again. A prominent lumber mill, Allen Logging Co., is closing it's doors due to increased competition from foreign businesses. Many people will lose family wage jobs. A family wage job is a job that enables you to raise a family comfortably. I would say at least $16 an hour in this area. This will make a big impact in the economy there also.
