Oldest apple tree in the Pacific Northwest dies at age 194 surrounded by its offshoots. Historians say the multi-billion dollar fruit industry in Pacific NW began with this tree. Vancouver, Washington, held a memorial service for the gnarled carcass Sunday nwnewsnetwork.org/post/matri…
Matriarch of Northwest apple industry passes away at age 194. Not a misprint.

Sent a Undercover in to one of our local drug houses to buy $100 worth of “white”. Not what we were expecting to see them carry out. Strange times...

Here's the daily weather map for 78 years ago tomorrow. Check out that deep low pressure system off the north coast of Washington. Why is it significant? The 40+ mph winds it created led to the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. #wawx

The driver from this 6/29 crash on SR 305 near Delate Road in Poulsbo said he was looking down at a text message before striking the back of a car yielding for an ambulance. There is a reason we are cracking down on distracted driving folks... #PutThePhoneDown #EyesOnTheRoad

Last weekend, troopers from all over the state traveled to Kent and Bellingham to support the families of 2 fallen officers as they watched their loved ones graduate. One of them starts their career with the Washington State Patrol next week. wspinsideout.wordpress.com/2…

Mailman Norm Hall has delivered in Manette 35 years. Today is his last day. At almost every house, he's been met with well-wishers. He's more than a carrier to them. "I'm just a federal servant delivering mail," he humbly responds.
