The Salish Sea is home to many marine mammals, but most known as the home of the Southern Resident Community of orcas or killer whales (SRKWs). This unique population of orcas feeds on fish, preferably salmon, and lives in close family groups. The Southern Resident orcas are listed as endangered in both Canada and the United States. Only 74 orcas remain as of April 2022. One of the best ways to help these whales is to Be Whale Wise!

Empress 1908’s combination of exquisite taste, delicate aroma, soft texture, and remarkable presentation provide the perfect base for a new aesthetic of cocktail creation and enjoyment.

Robinson Law Firm
Fred will be speaking about the new Washington State sales and use tax legislation that was signed into law by Governor Inslee. The law allows: nonresident entity owned yachts to stay in Washington waters for the same period as individually owned yachts (up to 180 days in any 365-day period with two permits); and nonresident entity owned yachts (up to 200’ in length) to provide crewed charters with very little use tax liability on the owner. The law keeps the current rule that boats can return each year, year after year, for 60 days (and those days do not need to be consecutive). He will also be speaking on the use of limited liability companies for personal liability protection and sales and use tax planning.
