Despite a strong projected coho return to the state’s ocean waters, this year’s Washington salmon seasons largely reflect continued low runs of some wild Chinook and coho stocks, especially in Puget Sound, state fishery managers announced April 15.

Basketball season got off to a quick start for the Wahkiakum Mules boys, who have already played four games and are 2-2. They began their season on the road with a loss to Napavine last Tuesday, 62-49. "They came out and hit four of their first five threes' and put us on our heels," Coach Todd Souvenir said.

I had h...

I really appreciate him because he told me that he saw me being a physics teacher in a brick building and now...
