• Retired Educators Pack 40 Backpacks For Glen Cove Students (patch.com) — Retired educators living at The Sinclair in Port Washington recently packed 40 backpacks with more than 1,500 school supplies and handwritten notes for Glen Cove elementary students.

• Long Island and NYC Fishing Report- September 3, 2026 (onthewater.com) — Anglers heading out of Port Washington are finding active fluke fishing in the western Sound, with plenty of shorts and some larger keepers as sand eels fuel the bite.
