1 Paddles! is an opportunity for people to join in a human-powered water journey.

A new area code in western Washington means a little more work for local calls. Once upon a time, Wahkiakum residents with a 795 prefix only needed to dial the last four digits in a phone number to make contact with friends, neighbors, and local businesses. Those days are long gone, and now, because of the demand for phone numbers in western Washington, the seven digit number is no longer enough. A new area code, 564, has been added to the same area as the existing code, 360. It will soon be...
