Welcome to LineTime!

Named for that special Guemes communication time we all know (waiting in the ferry line), LineTime fosters Guemes Island communication.

LineTime is maintained by Ellen Fitch and Betsy Passarelli, funded by generous donors and proceeds from the sale of books and other items.

It is not our intention to be reporters and construct a story from what we’ve heard or discovered but to provide an opportunity and venue for others to speak directly.

Please note that LineTime does not allow anonymous posting. Your full name is required when contributing to LineTime.org.
