Community watchdog and peace organizations are planning a 3.7-mile march and rally Saturday to Naval Magazine Indian Island.
The event starts Saturday at noon at H.J. Carroll County Park on state Highway 19 in Chimacum and will continue to South Indian Island County Parks, off Flagler Road, state Highway 116.
``Our focus is health and safety of our communities -- Port Hadlock, Kala Point, Port Townsend and Marrowstone Island,'' said David Jenkins, a member of Port Townsend Depleted Uranium Study Team, sponsoring week's events.
``We are concerned that these communities are less than two miles away from the Magazine.''
Jenkins and his group have been conducting monthly workshops for the past two years, pondering the risks of possible depleted uranium and its effects on nearby residents.
