Congratulations to Jay Humphrey on his retirement from coaching, hopefully after the State 2A tournament in March. I’ve watched Jay coach on more than one occasion and he certainly had his passion for the game that he learned from his dad, Denny.

Our paths crossed on several occasions, us...

It is “greenhouse gas” free, yet many activists are pushing to close, not build, nuclear power plants. If President Biden and Gov. Inslee conti...
A key issue needing legislative action during this year’s session is public safety – and for good reason. In recent years, Washington has seen an alarming increase in crime, some of it the result of recent laws passed by the Democratic majority in the Legislature that soften penalties for criminal behavior or makes it more difficult for law-enforcement officers to do their jobs to protect our communities. The issue of vehicle pursuits by police is exhibit A. Democrats in the...
