This is my first stand-up video piece. I can only hope that you will appreciate how frustrated I was with these birds.
It rained. I was sick. Goose crap was everywhere. I was in water up to my knees. And the freaking birds just kept moving farther away.
If you listen closely, you can hear them taunting [...]

The initiation into the Hoquiam City Council should really be more fun. They could have made Carla Streifel sing a fight song, steal a street sign or streak through the quad on Monday night.
But no. She raises her hand and swears allegiance to Hoquiam and some other stuff. Maybe the next Council member will face [...]

This video is dedicated to all those who think my videos should be more interesting.
Welcome to the Grays Harbor County Courthouse in Montesano. It’s beautiful. It’s also where they keep Justice in these parts.
I was at the courthouse working on the new Mount Everest of depressing stories — much worse than the sex offender thing. [...]

I have never seen so many orange, traffic cones in my entire life.
And I don’t think I’ve ever heard so many people say, “It’s been smooth” in one day before. It’s like everyone in Hoquiam had a meeting. But for the most part, the detour — which threatens to cripple local logistics — has been [...]

That’s right, a llama.
One of many wonderous animals wandering around the Watts farm near McCleary. The farm visit – which included longhorn carcasses, firearms, a boneyard and stir fry — made quite the climax for the weekend’s surprises.
Our travels carried us from the coast of the Pacific Ocean to a booth in Billy’s bar to the [...]

Lisa, Christina and I have had quite a few adventures this weekend, but the emus are pretty close to the top. Christina lives on a farm near McCleary where her father raises emus. Big, weird looking birds.
The horrible noise in the background is a goose that will not shut up. This had to be posted [...]

ABERDEEN TIMBERLAND LIBRARY — This is what small-scale democracy looks like, people having a reasonable discussion in a room. Not terribly exciting, sensational or violent, but important. Grassroots democracy.
Washington offered its two cents on the presidential candidates today. Here’s my story on the local GOP caucuses, which largely supported Huckabee and Ron Paul over McCain. [...]

I covered City Council tonight and thought I would take a quick video spin of the building on the way out. So this is Hoquiam City Hall. My reporting takes me to this building pretty regularly.
