Chelan County Connection!
So you received a jury summons from Chelan County in the mail. What's next? Chelan County Jury Administrator Marisol Woodward is a juror's best friend. She offers support to the 2,300 (or more) potential jurors who receive a summons from the Superior Court Clerk's Office -- that's in a month! Marisol shares a little about the process, what you can expect and some of the excuses she hears from people trying to get out of their civic duty. (Spoiler: Very few people get out of jury service.) Listen in and make a Chelan County Connection! For more information, go to our jury duty webpage, which is packed with information. @ChelanCountyGov

Chelan County commissioners this week reached out to the Chelan-Douglas Regional Port Authority with an offer to pay the port $1.5 million a year for 25 years if it would put aside the tax increment area (TIA) it proposes for Malaga.
