Cleaning up Dewatto campground

The Port of Dewatto closed out its regular meetings for the winter with an update from port campground coordinator Joe Newman, who said he visited the campground several times during the winter to clean up debris.

Newman told port commissioners Feb. 9 that a "large amount of debris" remains scattered through the campground and predicted it would take "quite some time" to get it removed.

Newman pledged to do as much cleaning as he could before the March 26 cleanup of the campground. The campground is scheduled to open April 1.
