Inside Violet Prairie Grange hall in Tenino, a crowd of about two dozen sits on folding chairs and benches awaiting Joe Kent, the man most, if not all, want to see elected this fall to represent southwest Washington in Congress. Pastor Jim Gilman is among the first to greet the Republican candidate when he enters just before 6:30 p.m. and, after a brief chat, gets a selfie. Gilman, of neighboring Bucoda, voted for Kent in 2022 and is eager to do so again. “I’m a conservative. He’s pro-U...

Branded and ready for service, three brand-new buses arrived at the Elochoman Valley Campus last week. Back in April, Wahkiakum on the Move received a new-to-them 2022 Ford Starcraft Passenger Van from CHOICE Regional Health Network. This addition was the youngest of the fleet by nearly 10 years; WOTM vehicles were on average around 15 years old. Wahkiakum on the Move was able to purchase the three newest buses with funding between two grants: the Regional Mobility Grant and a Consolidated...

The U.S. government on Tuesday acknowledged, for the first time, the harmful role it has played over the past century in building and operating dams in the Pacific Northwest — dams that devastated Native American tribes by inundating their villages and decimating salmon runs while bringing electricity, irrigation and jobs to nearby communities. In a new report, the Biden administration said those cultural, spiritual and economic detriments continue to pain the tribes, which consider salmon p...

The Wahkiakum PUD met on the chilly morning of June 18th.

After a little over three years of waiting, Wahkiakum PUD finally welcomed this beautiful 2023 Ford F550xl. The new bucket truck was ordered to replace the 2014 little bucket truck. To their demise, the 2014 Little Bucket Truck proved to be the little engine that blew. The new bucket truck nicknamed the Big Bucket Truck,...
MIXED BAG. It's been a bit of this and that for weather, one day it was hot and toasty and the next we got cooler. We saw some light rain Saturday evening and Sunday morning, the hay makers weren't too thrilled. We're going to start this work week out dry with a drippy couple of days mid-week. Dry, not overly hot, which is fine by me but not so great for those that need heat to make decent hay. One thing that kills a good hay crop is moisture, and in Skamokawa we always seem to get more than our fair share of that! Here's hoping things dry out...
