Jeff Selby, Jefferson County
Joined: 2008
PTC Focus: Jeff’s current interests are the completion of the ODT in Jefferson County and the annual PTC fundraiser. The connection of the current end of the Larry Scott Trail, the first 7 & 1/2 miles of the ODT from Port Townsend, to the southern end of Discovery Bay is a priority on which there has been great progress made in recent years. His efforts there will hopefully result in a safe route for trail users in the next few years in order to bypass a very dangerous section of State Route 20 between Discovery Bay and Port Townsend. “I’m thrilled to be involved in the effort to complete the ODT over this difficult terrain to connect to Clallam County.”
Background & Hobbies: Born and raised in the Pacific NW, Jeff enjoys both road and mountain biking, skiing, and hiking.
In Jeff’s own words: “Having grown up in Port Angeles, I’ve hiked most of the trails on the Olympic Peninsula, skied on its mountains and lakes, and cycled many miles on the northern Olympic Peninsula. I’ve traveled to all seven continents, but can’t think of anywhere else I’d rather live and play than the beautiful Pacific Northwest.”
