STEVE BLOOMFIELD
Steve Bloomfield does not reside in the Port of Shelton District. Here is his address:
Steve Bloomfield
3890 SE Bloomfield Rd.
Shelton, WA 98584

When considering his self-righteous proclamations, the public might be interested to know a few facts about Mr. Bloomfield, besides the fact he doesn't reside in the port district or vote for OUR port commissioners.
Mr. Bloomfield seems to think he has more rights than the average person. His e-mail screen name, CLAMPIRATE, actually fits quite well! Being from a family with their own road may make him think he is entitled to do all kinds of things...including stealing shellfish off of state DNR lands. However, he is not in the Port of Shelton and thus has no vote.
Next time someone should simply ask if he lives in the port district or if he is just there to cause trouble.
It seems that last year, it was found that he and his company, Seattle Shellfish, were found by Washington State DNR to be growing and harvesting shellfish on State owned public property. Mr. Bloomfield and Seattle Shellfish were fined $75,000 for breaking the law. So the public might want to keep this in mind when they hear him making all kinds of ridiculous statements about OUR port and OUR elected officials.
He has no right to interfere in OUR port, he has no honor, and he is nothing more than a CLAM PIRATE.
Here is the story from the internet and a few newspaper sites:
"June 23, 2010. State settles with shellfish growers over trespass. The three companies - Taylor Shellfish, Seattle Shellfish, and Arcadia Point Seafood - will repay a total of $417,000 to the state. The trespasses occurred on public aquatic lands in North Bay and Arcadia Point in central Puget Sound over a period of five to seven years. Taylor Shellfish will pay the state $225,000 into a state account for habitat restoration projects in Puget Sound. Seattle Shellfish will pay $75,000; and Arcadia Point Seafood will pay $117,000. Phoung Le, Associated Press"
Our Comment: (from http://www.protectourshoreline.org/i_new.html )
Citizens have long suspected that the shellfish companies were not observing boundaries on their aquatic farms. After citizens notified the State Auditor of a potential major trespass by Taylor Shellfish in Totten Inlet and it was confirmed by survey through DNR, other shellfish growing areas were reviewed. Taylor is required to pay $1,500,000 under the settlement agreement for the Totten Inlet trespass. The three companies are required to pay $417,000 for the current trespasses. Thus, the shellfish industry must pay nearly two millions dollars into public coffers for what is being called "unintentional" use. It may be unintentional, but until now, many of the largest shellfish companies seemed to have had the attitude that they could do anything they wanted, anywhere they wanted. Through the unpaid hard work of citizen observers of the shoreline, the watchdogs who so irritate the shellfish industry, the public has rightfully become a beneficiary of the unlawful use of state lands for growing commercial shellfish, and the shellfish industry can no longer profit from sloppy or non-existent attention to property boundaries."

Steve -- be careful! You started this one! As said earlier, You may NOT want us to dig too deeply into your own past or present, for that matter.
ReplyDeleteFor some unknown to us reason, Jay Hupp aligns himself with you and protects you, even against his own constituants. One must wonder Why? What does Steve have on Jay to think that Steve can have such Power over our Port Commissioners and our business here in Mason County? We think this aspect bears further investigation.
Oh do lets investigate further.
ReplyDeleteNot even a resident of Shelton, or our Port, and yet he has the nerve to come to our public meetings and demand that the only port commissioner worth our respect should resign and then threatens him with exposure.
And he calls himself "clam pirate," when he steals the shellfish off of public lands.
So, let's recap: This man, who does not live in Shelton, comes into our community, threatens one of our citizens, and then we find out that he is nothing more than a common thief.
And this is who Hupp aligns himself with?
Birds of a feather?
Let's find out what else these nice folks have been up to, shall we.
Good hunting, fellow air breathers!

ReplyDeleteA quick check of the Assessor's website shows no ownership of property located within Mason County under the name of Steve Bloomfield. Also, while there is an address listed for a Steve Bloomfield in the telephone book, no such address appears on the assessor's website. While this does not necessarily reflect Mr. Bloomfield's residency status, further investigation may be warranted.

ReplyDeleteIf you understand or if you don’t
ReplyDeleteIf you believe or if you doubt
There’s a universal justice
And the eyes of truth
Are always watching you
And all these months later Steve Bloomfield, the self-proclaimed clam pirate himself, is still all over the place in his support of the Adage project and anything else industry and his buddy Hupp need him to support. Good boy, Clam Pirate, good boy... sit... stay... speak...
