Sequim residents and visitors, especially those who are seriously interested in moving to Sequim, paid close attention to the introduction of builders impact fees for new homes in Sequim. The future will tell how this decision will affect the number of application for building permits. Our opinion: If somebody wants to move to Sequim, then he will do so, with or w/o impact fees.
A few days ago, Sequim Town Blog received the following interesting press release about a new store opening in Sequim soon. We decided to publish the complete press release, as it is of interest for our residents and Sequim visitors alike. Press release by Goodwill:
Goodwill coming to Sequim - New Store will provide jobs, donation site and great value!
SEQUIM – A new Goodwill store will open this July in Sequim, providing local jobs, a donation site for gently used clothes and household items, and great values for families to stretch their dollar in tough economic times.
The store will be located in the former Rite Aid building, 680C W. Washington St., at the corner of West Washington Street and North Fifth Avenue. Signs announcing the arrival of Goodwill at the site should up this week with Mountain Construction providing store improvements. To staff the 32,000-square-foot store, the agency is hiring about 30 people, including donation attendants, cashiers, supervisors and a store manager, with forms available at www.tacomagoodwill.org.
"Goodwill provides the community with a variety of services and our stores are long-term investments," said Jane Taylor, president of Goodwill’s Board of Directors and an agency volunteer. "In these tough economic times, Goodwill can help families and be a place for people to get that first job or second chance."
The store will be the second located in Clallam County and the 26th for the agency, headquartered in Tacoma. Other Goodwill stores are located in Port Angeles, 603 S. Lincoln St., and Port Townsend, 602 Howard St. Goodwill has already been providing job training and placement services for area residents through a program giving older workers experience to get back into the workforce.
