U.S. Air Force veteran Larry Smith takes to the streets of Sequim at least once a month with his message of the importance of voting in the Nov. 6 general election. Smith, 75, said he suffers from cancer and notes, “I need to do something besides just watching the television news.” That something is to park his wheelchair at the corner of Washington and Sequim Avenues to gently remind passersby to vote. A Democrat, Smith says he doesn’t push an agenda but instead listens politely to those who stop to chat. Smith said the mix of political views he receives is about “half and half.” Photo by Mary Powell
