Just talked to a rep of WADFW, he said negotiations are ongoing, "the mood in the office is optimistic, but nothing concrete yet. We have applied for a separate permit, but it may take as long as 8 months"...
So I ain't gassing up the boat just yet, unless it's for a trip to LaPush or Neah Bay (Hobuck), or the CR.
