Judy Chovan shares this announcement with you…

Help us name the point. When the sun sets, the point of land to the east of Eagle Cove glows golden. I am sure many islanders have had the opportunity while on Eagle Cove Beach to see this phenomena. While Eagle Point borders Eagle Cove to the west, the point of land bordering the cove to the east is as yet unnamed. This is the point in the two photos below. We have a proposal before the Washington State Committee of Geographic Names to name this point ‘Golden Point’. If this is a name that you would be in favor of, we could use your help. Please send a brief email to: [email protected]. The contents can be as short and sweet as:

I support the name of Golden Point on San Juan Island (San Juan County). The deadline to receive your emails is 01 September 2013.
