Don't go too far down the rabbit hole - but this is very interesting for collectors and the curious on a lunch break. The results will probably surprise you. What's in your barn? 🧐

Agents tell us that one of the biggest challenges they have is recognizing collector vehicles - especially those produced after 1980 - that fit on a specialty policy with Hagerty. That’s why we're here to share the Cars You Should Know (CYSK).

There was a celebratory mood at the Sequim Food Bank on Saturday for its “Hail and Farewell” event recognizing the achievements of now former Executive Director Andra Smith while sharing in the excitement for new director Jen Colmore.

Dozens of people including board directors, staff members, volunteers and community supporters gathered to share stories, food, gifts, tears, and several hugs. Smith, who announced in November she had taken the job as executive director of the Washington Food Coalition after 10 years at the Sequim Food Bank, said it has been an honor to serve the community.

Smith said hiring Colmore makes the transition an easier one.

Colmore started as a volunteer and became its community engagement coordinator, leading the first community fundraiser Everyone at the Table raising more than $70,000.

“She’s been building relationships with volunteers and visitors, connecting with community partners, organizing events, and helping tell the food bank’s story,” Smith said. “But more importantly, Jen understands the heart of this place. She understands that the food bank is about more than food. It’s about community, dignity and making sure that everyone feels welcome.”
