This coming Tuesday’s meeting will feature a presentation by retiring state Sen. Jim Hargrove, D-Hoquiam, one of the three legislators representing Clallam and Jefferson counties in Olympia.
Hargrove will discuss what happened this year in the Legislature, his focus on writing laws to help disadvantaged Washingtonians, such as those who are disabled, mentally ill, poor or single parents — and why he decided to retire after more than 32 years of service.
