Emma Bolin, PT Planning Director

(Airdate: October 3, 2022) Maryanne interviews Emma Bolin, PT’s Director of Planning and Community Development. As a kid, Emma dreamed about becoming a professional rock climber. She turned her love of the outdoors and mountains into something more practical. Her love of both brought her to the Pacific Northwest. Now she’s in charge of planning for Port Townsend – a Pacific Northwest gem. Affordable housing; what to do about the golf course; removing the poplar trees on Sims Way and trying to find a solution for our broken streets – these are just some of the issues Emma and her team are studying. Zoning changes lurk at the heart of most issues. Did you know that since April virtually every residential property can legally add two ADUs? And all that bother about off street parking? Nope, that’s gone now! And if you want an ADU that really sets you free, well, tiny houses on wheels are licensed like your car. Forget about most permitting, etc.

And speaking of “creative and innovative,” we have something special for you today.  The Flying Karamazov Brothers, the New Old Time Chautauqua, and the original Chautauqua movement all have history here. What is a “Chautauqua” you might ask? Singer/songwriter Jim Page interviewed  Karamazovs and New Old Time Chautauqua co-founder Paul Magid not long ago, and we thought it would be fun bring that interview to you today, thanks to Jim and his radio show on KBCS in Bellevue.
