DAL Law Firm: Keeping your estate plan private with a Revocable Living Trust

DAL Law Firm: Keeping your estate plan private with a Revocable Living Trust. Many people are surprised to learn that not all estate planning documents are private. In Washington, when someone passes away with a will, their will is filed with the court and becomes part of the public record. This means details about assets, beneficiaries, and distributions may be accessible to anyone looking for them.

‘Only seen this in textbooks.' Pierce Co. girl's journey with rare brain malady

Kinley Harriman was 10 days old when she had a stroke. It was the summer of 2017 when her mother, Kayla Harriman, rushed her to Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital, where staff prepared to perform heart surgery. Just before Kinley went to the operating table, an ultrasound revealed something completely different: an ultra-rare brain condition called Vein of Galen Malformation (VOGM). Kinley — who lives in Bonney Lake with Kayla, her stepfather and two younger brothers — was the one person out of every 3 million with VOGM, according to a 2023 study from Duke University. Boston Children’s Hospital says the condition happens when arteries in the brain connect to veins instead of capillaries. The capillaries normally act as a buffer, slowing down blood flow; but with VOGM, bypassing the capillaries causes high-pressure blood to rush straight into the veins. VOGM is nearly 100% fatal if left untreated, according to the Journal of Neurosurgery — often leading to heart failure and severe brain injuries. Because the condition is so rare, specialized treatment is scarce, often forcing families out of state for complex surgeries — including the Harrimans, who flew across the country six times to see specialists at Boston Children’s Hospital.

King County Shrinks Vashon Septic Inspection Zone From 1,300 Parcels to Just 75 Properties

King County has dramatically scaled back a proposal that would have required septic inspections on roughly 1,300 waterfront parcels on Vashon Island, narrowing the plan to about 75 properties clustered along isolated shoreline stretches. County officials say the smaller zone can still satisfy the minimum requirements of state law while sparing hundreds of homeowners from new inspection mandates.

New Pierce County boutique with a beachy, vintage style opens soon

The Big Dark may be upon us, but it’s summer somewhere. At Kspek , Gig Harbor’s newest boutique in the downtown business district with a target opening date of Nov. 28, bold patterns, sun-faded fabrics and the slightly fuzzy, cottony texture of beach towels feature brightly in sweatshirts, jackets and bags. Led by Kathleen Vanderspek, a fashion designer who formerly worked for brands like Tommy Bahama and Buki , a Seattle-based brand specializing in travel luxury wear, the new studio at 7706 Pioneer Way will be Vanderspek’s first brick-and-mortar shop. She previously sold her products online and via Harbornest , another downtown boutique that will continue carrying her products. “I love the nostalgia of a vintage beach towel, and that’s really what drew me to working with them,” said Vanderspek in an interview Tuesday, adding that she grew up on Lake Michigan and spent a lot of time at the pool and going to the beach, taking her beach towel everywhere. Most of the towels she upcycles into sweatshirts and bags are from the ‘80s and ‘90s, she said, which she’s found to hold up over time and that feature playful geometric patterns, fun colors and landscape designs.
