Family's eviction from Bremerton's marina raises fear among liveaboards
BREMERTON — Retirement looks different for Tom and Jerri Bagley.

Once Tom brings them home, it’s time for homework in the vessel's cozy shared room, known as a salon to boaters, which is lined with two couches next to a small galley just below the boat's pilot house.

It also explained how readers could review the draft environmental assessment and submit comments before the June 25 deadline. The Navy’s Columbia-class Environmental Assessment (EA) website declared: “Submitting substantive and concise public comments is one of the most important aspects of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process.” However, records recently released through the Freedom of Information Act raise questions about the Navy’s commitment to public participation. According to Navy records, 240 comments were submitted from eleven states and Washington, D.C. Approximately 80 comments requested a 30-day extension of the comment period to allow a more careful review of the program. More than 60 comments asked for a formal hearing in Seattle. On June 16, U.S. Fleet Forces Command decided against extending the comment period. Representative Pramila Jayapal’s office contacted
