Joe Urvina and Michael Caseley Talk Timely, Local Issues For Gig Harbor Residents

Last week Gig Harbor Patch welcomed Michael Caseley to our Local Voices section.

Caseley, a local bus driver, laments on the ‘Wollochet Mess.’

“BETWEEN 5PM AND 6PM THIS WHOLE STREET GRID LOCKS, CAUSING MORE FRUSTRATION TO THIS ONGOING PROJECT,” he wrote.

While we don’t encourage blogging in all-caps, Caseley’s short piece got the point across and clearly shows his frustration with the ‘Wollochet Mess’ during peak commuter hours.

Our other featured blogger, Joe Urvina, is a small business owner and native to the Puget Sound Region. He’s blogged on Patch for almost a year now on insurance-related issues from liability limits to what to do if you hit a deer.

Urvina’s latest post focuses on “smishing,” a new form of ID theft.
