At a recent county meeting, community planners revisited the long-stalled Brinnon Subarea Plan, debated options from doing nothing to relocating key buildings like the community center, and wrestled with state growth rules that complicate shifting development to higher ground.
   

• Dental clinic rolls south to close care gap - Port Townsend & Jefferson County Leader (ptleader.com) — Brinnon residents will soon see Jefferson Healthcare's new mobile dental clinic visiting town, bringing cleanings, screenings, and basic restorative care much closer to home.
