The San Juan Update has a new owner! I am very happy to introduce the new Owner/Editor of the San Juan Update to you – Jeff Arnim.

Jeff is currently working on a post to introduce himself and family to you – that should be published here within a few days I think, but in the meantime I just wanted to let everyone know that the San Juan Update will continue.

This is very good news for me – I think he will be a great fit for The Update, and carry on the tradition started by Ian Byington and continued by me, of bringing upbeat, refreshing news and information to the people of San Juan Island.

Welcome Jeff!

  6. YAY, WHEW, WOW!! soooo sooo grateful!! thank you both!! I think the angels were in the mix, Tim so deserves his time off, and like any well coddled business, that so many depend on, you hate to see it just go away; we have already lost too many; we need and depend on update for human news, real visuals and just a place to find out what we need to know beyond nuts and bolts news, thank you so much; Now Shannon and Tim can sigh and leave free, truly!
