Hoquiam Hotel Is Now In The Hands Of Court-Appointed Receiver

Everyone staying there had to be out by October 30th. The receiver can now sell the property. A Hoquiam hotel that was supposed to become affordable housing is now in the hands of a court-appointed receiver. The Daily World reports the lender behind the Anchor Pointe Inn and Suites on Simpson Avenue went to court, and a Bellevue company took control of the property October 23rd. The owner, The Moore Wright Group, bought the former Econo Lodge for $4.2 million last year and agreed to rent 49 units to lower-income households, but reopened it as a hotel instead. Everyone staying there had to be out by October 30th. The receiver can now sell the property.

Early election results are in for Thurston County Sheriff race

Incumbent Thurston County Sheriff Derek Sanders led challenger Kevin Burton-Crow by a large margin in early election returns Tuesday night. Sanders, an independent, led with 44,164 votes (68.7%) while Burton-Crow, a Democrat, trailed behind with 19,967 votes (31%), according to the tallies released by the county Auditor’s Office. The Sheriff’s Office polices unincorporated areas of Thurston County and operates a jail based in Tumwater with a total annual budget of about $68 million. Since starting his first term in 2023, Sanders has overseen a growing Sheriff’s Office with dozens more deputies and a new headquarters in Tumwater. The dollars to support this growth have come from a voter-approved public safety sales tax that Sanders backed in his first year in office. Sanders learned of his early lead while at an election night party at the Hangar 51 Event Center in Tumwater. He called the results a “great victory” in a phone call with The Olympian. “I’m ready to serve for another four years,” Sanders said. “I am extremely proud of the Sheriff’s Office and I believe Thurston County voters got it right.” Sanders added that he looks forward to watching the Sheriff’s Office grow during his second term. Burton-Crow answered

Local airline will fly to Olympia airport for the first time in 22 years

Regional air service is returning to Olympia Regional Airport for the first time in 22 years, the Port of Olympia and SeaPort Airlines jointly announced on Thursday. The airline, which operates nine-person, propeller-powered airplanes, will offer twice-weekly flights between Spokane and Olympia Friday and Sunday afternoons for the Washington state legislative session. The flights begin Jan. 8. Travel between the two destinations is expected to take an hour, according to a news release. One-way fares start at $279. The last commercial air service at Olympia Regional Airport was Big Sky Airlines in 2004, according to the port. SeaPort Airlines is based at Boeing Field in Seattle, and began offering flights between Seattle and Spokane in March, said Chairman and CEO Kent Craford in an interview with The Olympian on Thursday that also included port officials. “So when we launched service in Spokane in March, the first thing we started hearing was: ‘When are you going to go to Olympia?’” said Craford. “And so here we are.” He said they received interest from lawmakers, business groups, trade associations and chambers of commerce about flights to Olympia. “Some of them are here a lot for the session,” he said. “Some of them

Seattle's Jaelynn Scott set to be Washington's first trans lawmaker

Seattle voters are poised to send the first openly transgender person to Washington's Legislature, with Jaelynn Scott holding 87% of the vote as of Thursday. The big picture: The milestone comes in the same election in which Washington voters approved new restrictions on trans girls competing in girls' school sports. Zoom in: Scott, the executive director of the Black trans advocacy organization the Lavender Rights Project, is on track to win the Position 2 seat in Washington's 37th Legislative District. The state House chief clerk and state Senate secretary told Axios they were unaware of any previous Washington legislators who publicly identified as transgender. The 37th district consists mostly of southeast Seattle but also includes a small part of Renton and some unincorporated areas, including Skyway. What they're saying: Scott acknowledged the historic nature of her victory in an election night news release. But she said her campaign was primarily about "families fighting to stay in the neighborhoods they built," along with "housing, health care and schools." "Being first is a responsibility, not a trophy," Scott said. "To every trans kid in Washington who has been told there's no place for them: there is. It's in the State House." Her
