Letter to the Editor | Constant negativity toward PenMet is unwarranted

Posted on May 21st, 2025 By: James Castino

Aren’t we all getting kind of tired of all these letters from Mr. MacLaughlin?

It is one thing to ask legitimate questions of the Pen Met Parks Board. But I find it annoying to read these almost endless nitpicking legalities. I believe that most of us here in the Gig Harbor area are appreciative of what Pen Met Parks is doing for our community, knowing they are not perfect in every way, but just the same feel that this kind of negativity, is unwarranted.

As an occasional golfer at Madrona Links, believe me, I am very aware of the lack of high quality course management there. But let’s give Pen Met Parks a genuine chance to get this under control, without continual criticisms. My opinion.
