Our Working Waterfront ~ 8/11/23

Each year the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce presents Leadership Awards in four categories: Business Leader, Citizen, Rising Entrepreneur, Young Professional, and Future Business Leader from our County’s youth. Pete and Kathy Langley are the 2023 recipients of the Business Leaders of the Year Award. They’ve been married and in business together at Port Townsend Foundry for over 40 years. Together, Pete and Kathy  share a life commitment to the phrase, “A Rising Tide lifts all boats.”  Both of them freely admit that it takes the two of them together to run their business! KPTZ’s Chris Bricker joins co-hosts Port of Port Townsend’s Director Eron Berg and Port Commissioner Pam Petranek for a Port update, and then a conversation with Pete and Kathy about what it means to create a “circular economy” here in this region, about their leadership and mentorship roles, and their longstanding involvement in our beloved community.

#226 Mom’s Laundromat

(Airdate: August 8, 2023) Maryanne interviews Polly Rogers of Mom’s Laundromat. The now 89-year-old Polly’s had a unique perspective watching Port Townsend grow and change over the years. Back when she was a kid in Port Townsend there was only one school – elementary, middle, and high school were all in one building. Mom’s can sometimes resemble a social club. Polly reports that some customers share all of the details of their personal life while attending to their (literal) dirty laundry. Bartenders and hairdressers hear the same sort of stories. Mom’s is down near the Boat Haven. Customers include maritime tradesmen and crew off everything from fishing boats to luxury craft. Other customers include tourists and locals from every corner of the peninsula. It’s a real-life reality TV show, changing every day!
