Zavadlov noted the department responded to five boat flips this winter, including one fatal incident. Bedford made the contribution in memory of his friend John Brewer, former publisher of the Peninsula Daily News, Sequim Gazette and Forks Forum, who died in April 2024 in a Montana fly-fishing accident when the boat he was in struck a submerged log and overturned. The team currently relies on a neighboring jurisdiction for access to a jet boat. The Swift Water Team continues fundraising efforts through a GoFundMe campaign.

According to Festival Director Michelle Rhodes, this year’s fundraiser brought in $55,000, about $5,000 more than last year, which she said was significant considering that there were about 30 fewer attendees due to remodeling that forced the event to be held in a smaller space. This year’s festival, set for May 1-9, marks the 131st year for Washington’s oldest, longest, continuous-running festival.
