GEORGE, Grant County — The Grant County sheriff’s office has identified the man who drove his car into the Gorge Amphitheater campground, injuring three people and himself.

Tanner A. Drayton-Williams of Woodland Hills, Calif. was arrested and is facing four counts of second degree assault. Authorities say he hit pedestrians, tents and parked vehicles at the campground on Saturday.

Sheriff’s spokesman Kyle Foreman said the 19-year-old Drayton-Williams was under the influence of drugs.

The injured, including the driver, were taken to Quincy Valley Hospital. The driver and two others were treated and then released. One person was transferred to another hospital for treatment of multiple broken bones and internal injuries.

The Gorge Amphitheater is hosting the Sasquatch! Music Festival over the Memorial Day weekend. Camping at the amphitheater is part of the festival.

A 65-foot-long historic tug rests in the Port of Port Townsend Boat Haven Marina’s 300-ton marine lift as workers use pressure washers to blast years of barnacles and other marine life off the hull. The tug was built for the U.S. Army at Peterson SB in Tacoma in 1944. Originally designated TP-133, it is currently named Island Champion after going through several owners since the army sold it in 1947. It is now owned by Debbie Wright of Everett, who uses it as a liveaboard. The all-wood tug is the last of its kind and could possibly be entered in the 2025 Wooden Boat Festival.(Steve Mullensky/for Peninsula Daily News)
