A blackberry milkshake and a double cheeseburger named after its own hometown keep pulling drivers off an old highway near Tacoma. The walk-up window serving them first opened in 1949.

Over 130 dogs sent to Tacoma-Humane Society in November. Shelter asks for help
The Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County is asking the public for help after receiving too many dogs. In a Nov. 11 Facebook post , the organization said it has received 130 dogs since Nov. 1 — 30 more than in mid-October. “This rise in dog intake is pushing us beyond our capacity. As one dog is adopted or reunited with their family, more than one dog is waiting to take their place,” the post said. “We need the support of our community to help us ensure there is space for the pets that desperately need our care.” Adoption fees for dogs who are at least 1 year old will be waived from Nov. 12 to Nov. 13, the post said. Residents can help the shelter by: Adopting. Interested dog owners can visit the Humane Society’s website or visit at 2608 Center St. from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. every day except Mondays. If an owner has committed to a dog that is waiting to be spayed or neutered, they can foster the dog until their surgery. Fostering. Someone who can’t adopt but can provide a temporary home for a dog can help save space, the post said. The

Squid jigging season is back in the South Sound! Here's where to find them
It’s squidding time in the South Sound, and Tacomans are lighting up the water (and social media ) with nets and jigs. November through February is peak squid-jigging season, and Pacific market squid are back in the South Sound by the millions. Though there are always some resident squid in Puget Sound, migratory squid flush in and out by way of the Strait of Juan de Fuca every year, first showing up around Neah Bay in late May, then to Port Angeles in August, Edmonds in September, Elliott Bay and finally the South Sound in November and December, according to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). The best way to catch a squid is to jig for it. No, not the dance (though you’re welcome to do that once you’ve caught one). Jigging in fishing is when you pump and pull an artificial lure (called a jig) up and down in the water like a sewing machine. Squid are attracted to the colorful jigs, which have multiple hooks, and, if you’re doing it right, they’ll grab hold of them. No bait necessary. WDFW allows up to four jigs per line and a 10-pound bucket maximum of squid a
