Editor,

I just want to extend my sincere appreciation and respect to those who so ably responded to the medical needs of a participant at the Oct. 18 No Kings rally in Coupeville and so skillfully managed vehicle traffic flow and pedestrian safety. Personnel included two Island County Sheriff’s deputies, a Washington State Patrol officer, Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue and WhidbeyHealth responders. We are very fortunate to have these trained and caring professionals in our community.
