The cow carcass that washed up on North Beach the end of April became more than a headache for the Port of Kingston. It became a tourist attraction — at least on a small scale.
The current assistant principal and athletic director at North Kitsap High School will head over to Kingston to replace Susan Wistrand, who announced she would resign at the end of this school year.
First, Port of Kingston officials hoped the tide would take the carcass away. Then, they towed it to a buoy and tied it there to keep it from returning to the beach. Sheriff's deputies were enlisted to help; they shot at the carcass, hoping to make it sink. Now, port employees have weighted the carcass down with chains and cinder blocks, hoping to send it to the bottom of the Sound.
The lighthouse and surrounding buildings underwent $100K of improvements, re-opening ceremony is May 12
