Sound Neighbors Podcast Episode 3: A slower Johnson Point Road, the last school closure hearing and the library levy

Episode 3 of the Sound Neighbors Podcast, "Close to Home," came out Thursday, Oct. 22. The episode runs about 12 minutes.

Hosts Jean and Tyler start on Johnson Point, with the county's new 30 mph speed limit on the north end of Johnson Point Road. They then cover the final hearing on closing three Olympia elementary schools, held at Madison Elementary ahead of the school board's Nov. 12 vote, and explain what a yes or no vote on the Timberland library levy, Proposition 1 on the Nov. 3 ballot, would do.

The episode also covers the proposed Thurston Conservation District charge, the state's removal of old reef tires from Eld Inlet, and a forest preschool on Henderson Inlet, plus Halloween events and the weekend forecast from the National Weather Service.
