I got the sweet gig of looking for warm weather art yesterday as record temperatures hit 81 degrees in Hoquiam. This is 3-year-old Jaimeson chucking cherry blossoms at me during a flower fight in the park.
I got lucky. I stumbled on this flower fight almost as soon as I started looking for wildart and it [...]

You know, instead of cleaning my apartment so it would look nice when Liz gets here tonight.
That’s right. Structure fire.
Now I have to finish cleaning tonight. But that’s okay.

My friends back in Pullman are preparing to graduate this weekend, so they all wrote their senior columns for the last issue of The Daily Evergreen.
I was moved by some of them, and as other recent graduates have revisited theirs, so shall I. My final piece could have been better or worse, but I like [...]

“Fighting solves everything,” was the motto on several shirts at the fight last night. This is former WSU football player Eric Boose beating the crap out of Galen Brown in the heavyweight main event.
There were four professional bouts, including local girl Sky Bell. Here’s the story by Rob Burns. More photos and video from an [...]

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 [...]

So I just got home from the newsroom after the fights. It was a pretty good time.
I have quite a few photos to post, but that will have to wait until I don’t have to be back at the office in like seven hours. Good night all, and good fighting.

Here’s a photo of a mural downtown depicting some hope for industrial growth returning to the area. Many believe it can, while others think Grays Harbor will have to find a new way to survive.
Anyway, I just took a picture because I don’t think I’ve ever seen a paper I worked for in a mural.
Here’s some [...]

New quotations from the halls of justice are a bit behind this week, but a little longer. Less from the judge, but some good stuff from slightly bored attorneys.
It’s not all fun and games, but between the tragedies there is comedy. Hopefully worth the wait:
“You look awful.” - Female lawyer greeting another.
“Is there an official [...]

Adrianna’s grandmother, Matrisa Valentine, and about eight other families have been ordered to move from their homes by April 30. Here’s the story.
UPDATE: No new information from the tenants today. It is a rare thing, but they actually thanked me for the paper’s interest and hoped the story would rally some assistance.
I did get a [...]
