Sequim’s Doug Brundage, 62, recently hit the centennial mark for giving. On Nov. 8, he gave his 100th pint of blood through Bloodworks Northwest at a mobile center inside First Baptist Church of Sequim. “I’ve always done it out of principle,” Brundage said. “It’s an important thing to do.”

Brundage remembers first donating back in college at Western Washington University in Bellingham in 1977, but the urge to continue donating began in 1986 when a coworker was diagnosed with leukemia. Fellow staffers Hal Woods and Don Denny organized the blood drive in the coworker’s honor, Brundage said, and the tradition continued at their work, the Washington School Information Processing Cooperative.
