Clallam, Jefferson and Kitsap counties won the I-522 vote with minimal support from the Yes On 522 campaign.
Clallam County has a strong Republican lean with a large senior population. Internal 522 campaign polling showed "Yes Voters" were primarily Democrat and under 60 years old.
All three Olympic Peninsula counties had strong grassroots leadership:
Clallam: Beverly Goldie Facilitator GMO Awareness Group (GAG) of the North Olympic Peninsula and Dr. Frank Springob
Jefferson: Judy Alexander and Dr. Richard Doherty, GMO Jeff Co
Kitsap: Laurie Olsen and Jennifer Newell
In 2010, Beverly Goldie organized the GAG Group and helped Jefferson an Kitsap counties develop their grassroots outreach programs in 2013 that included:
Events
Letters to the editors
Organic Food Store Support
Regular Meetings
With support from the Port Townsend Food Coop, Judy Alexander organized a GMO Film series from August-September that had good community attendance.
