Marijuana Issues - McCleary

From Memorandum to Mayor and City Council, City of McCleary, from Daniel O. Glenn, City Attorney, November 21, 2012

4. MARIJUANA ISSUES: Obviously, with the adoption of the initiative, matters will continue to become even more complex. The provisions allowing possession of less than fixed amount by an individual over 21 go into effect on December 6. However, the methodology by which anyone not possessing a medical certificate authorizing the use and possess can obtain such material legally will not be developed until about a year from now. So, one without a certificate can possess but that individual can not obtain legally.

A real conundrum in terms of enforcement and prosecution in the interim prior to December 6 is apparently developing in some counties and cities. I would note that apparently the prosecutors of King County and Clark County are going to dismiss pending cases based upon violation of the law which will remain in effect until December 6. I was also told that Mr. Menefee is considering such an approach. I will admit that as City Attorney, I am not considering that approach since it was and is currently illegal to possess except under specific conditions. Still unanswered is also the question of how the federal government is going to handle the inconsistency between federal and state law on this matter.

Quote from city council meeting,  Public Comment:

Helen Lake commented that she heard Sterling Bank will be closing but will not be selling the building. She is very sad to see this happen.

Unspectacular Frontier Town

McCleary in those days was an unspectacular frontier town, very provincial, very well behaved. There were neither cowboys, nor drunkards, nor gamblers. It was separated from Olympia, the state capital, by twenty miles of ill kept dirt road; and from Aberdeen, the bustling port city of Grays Harbor, by another thirty miles of ill kept dirt road. The nearest saloon was eight miles away. Most of the men who worked in the mill and door plant were Greeks and Italians; those who worked in the woods were Irish and Scandinavian. There was one church and an elementary school. And there was one boss: The Henry McCleary Timber Company.

Immigrant's return by Angelo M. Pellegrini, pg 44

Notice that the author writes that there was no saloon in McCleary at that time (about 1913). We currently don't have a tavern, I wonder when this immediate area first had one.
