Dan Conner of Port Angeles leads a convoy of more than 20 cars and trucks up First Street as they begin a drive — displaying signs, honking horns and flashing lights — from “Port to Port” from Port Angeles to Port Townsend and back on Saturday morning. The action was in support of the Canadian Freedom Convoy truckers’ protest against a vaccine mandate for truckers crossing the U.S,-Canada border implemented by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government earlier this month. Saturday’s Olympic Peninsula convoy was organized through Facebook postings. Participants decorated their cars and trucks in the Clallam County Courthouse parking lot in Port Angeles before moving out.

W. Ron Allen, right, chairman of the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe, talks with Brent Simcosky, left, tribal health director, Wednesday, Feb. 2, 2022, in front of the Jamestown Healing Clinic, in Sequim, Wash. The tribe is building a full-service health center to treat both tribal members and other community residents for opioid addictions. Earlier in the week, Native American tribes across the U.S. settled a lawsuit against drug maker Johnson & Johnson and the largest three drug distribution companies in the U.S. for $590 million. The money won't be distributed quickly, but tribal leaders say it will play a part in healing their communities from an epidemic that has disproportionately killed Native Americans. (AP Photo/Ted S.
