Mike Gregoire, Washington’s "First Mike," to visit Ilwaco library
Mike Gregoire, husband of Washington State Governor Christine Gregoire, is visiting Ilwaco on Monday, December 3. Also known as "First Mike," Mr. Gregoire will make a stop at the Ilwaco Timberland Library at approximately 1 p.m. Gregoire is an advocate for children’s and family literacy, which is also a major initiative of the Timberland Regional Libraries.
