The Oak Harbor City Council quietly voted last week to close and terminate the public hearing, which was opened earlier this year and then continued. Police Chief Ed Green said city staff members have a lot of work left to do on the issue before they are ready for a public hearing.

Mar 26 2013, 3:45 PM I have a vacation house near Outlying Field Coupeville. I understand the noise issues. The Navy does have a proposed alternative for the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station OLF: Guam. In fact, the Navy wants to relocate the entire station to Guam. Comparing the naval air station to the Norfolk Naval Base is not accurate: Norfolk is the largest naval complex in the world, and serves as the command for the Atlantic. There is nothing further east. Norfolk’s location in the Atlantic is the equivalent to Guam for the Pacific command. Spirited start not enough as Wolves fall to Falcons | Soccer
