UPDATE: Here’s the story on the fire we ran today.
So I was standing in a parking lot in Hoquiam this afternoon when I got an urgent call from one of my editors.
“We’ve got a fire with visible flames,” he said. An apartment building on the hill in Aberdeen.
“Alright, I’ve got my camera. I can head [...]

Before I forget, an arson case against a WSU student from Aberdeen has had me working with the Evergreen newsroom again this week. Mostly with Lisa as she follows the story. It’s been nice — and somewhat strange — covering the same ground as all the Evergreeners.
But it also gives me hope that we can [...]

In celebration of 100 posts — I’m going to start stealing ideas. This is where I work when I’m at home. This has previously been done by Lisa, Nick (twice) and some guy I don’t know named Andrew.
The number 100 has popped up a lot this week, but here is one more. Enjoy exploring my [...]

At the top of our broadcast we have 22 suspected meth traffickers arrested in massive DEA raids across multiple counties.
A tiny trickle of information and rumors yesterday turned into a bit of a flood today. I scrambled to get a story written this morning, which my publisher helped Mix-master-John into something readable.
I have some surprisingly boring photos [...]

The Daily Evergreen at WSU – where I once worked as a reporter, section editor, editor in chief, blah, blah — has a story today that the WSU Police chief has been replaced after a year of searching.
This makes me smile for a number of reasons.
Last year, I led a special investigation into several alleged ethics [...]

That’s what the woman said as she came into the newsroom today. She said she needed to tell the editors what people want to read about in their hometown newspaper.
“I want to read about stuff in town,” she said.
She doesn’t want to see a story about a teenager in California stabbing another teenager in California. [...]

Amazing, and disturbing. “The Wind that Shakes the Barley” is one of those movies that makes you feel like you’ve been kicked in the stomach. In sort of a good way.
I bought it over during the weekend. It’s about two Irish brothers in the Irish Civil War. It’s tragic, but has some nice moments and beautiful scenery.

This is the most random online quiz I have ever seen. I enjoyed it quite a bit. It has no real value beyond amusement. Feel free to let me know how you do:

For the record: I found this link in Esquire, which I will always thank Nick for introducing to the Pullman house.

My brother’s on the left, looking dangerous.
I think this is my brother’s latest trip to the Yakima Training Center for sniper drills. He has since gone to Fort Benning in Georgia and graduated from the U.S. Army Sniper School.
That fact officially makes him the deadliest person I know. Here’s some more pictures to back that up.
