About OUR TOWN. Have you ever wondered about the people you see every day around Port Townsend? The clerks at Safeway or QFC? The fire fighters or police officers? The barista who serves your favorite coffee just right? KPTZ’s new show “Our Town” profiles some of the fascinating people who live, work and play in Port Townsend. It’s not about the ‘big shots’ – it’s about the real people who make up the texture of the community. Host Maryanne McNellis talks to some of Port Townsend’s finest – from fire fighters to foodies, from artists to animal handlers, and even the occasional bus driver or teenage beauty queen. Listen in and meet someone new. “Our Town” gets you out and about, meeting someone new each time you tune in.

Aug 18-19—Maryanne interviews Sara Penhallegon, founder & guiding light behind the Center Valley Animal Rescue. Sara and the Center Valley team are passionately devoted to saving animals. It doesn't stop with domestic animals such as dogs, cats or even cattle. They also rescue baby coyotes, injured eagles, and all sorts of wildlife. At any moment in time, Center Valley has well over 300 animals at their 30 acre facility. Sara is well known for "thinking outside the box.” For example, what do you do with two comatose baby coyotes that are on death’s door? They desperately needed transfusions. But Center Valley did not have available adult coyotes for transfusions. Guess what? Domestic dogs actually make good blood donors.
