Cannon Beach elk versus dog encounter, dog survives

Family wants people to be aware — and wary — of crossing paths with wild animals. Experiencing the majestic sight of the Roosevelt elk is as much a part of the Cannon Beach experience as taking in Haystack Rock or zooming in on darting Tufted Puffins. However, while the other sightings are relatively carefree activities, coming across the local herds of elk can be anything but.

Washington energy customers win in hydro settlement

The Bonneville Power Administration, the agency that sells Columbia Basin hydropower, will lower its proposed rate hike after a legal challenge by local environmental and clean energy advocates. The administration had proposed a roughly 6% increase, arguing it needed an additional $250 million to meet new guidelines requiring more water to be spilled over Columbia River dams to support migrating salmon. Ben Otto, policy director for the Northwest Energy Coalition, which was part of the proceedings, said while he understands Bonneville needs to earn money for its services, the proposed increase was overblown. "BPA's finances are actually in really good shape, and we think that a more holistic examination would find ways to adapt these costs into BPA's overall financial picture instead of just immediately trying to reach into people's pocketbooks," Otto contended. The Bonneville Power Administration provides electricity to more than 5 million people across the Pacific Northwest and Otto said the settlement will save customers close to $40 million. He explained spilling water over dams allows juvenile fish to travel more safely downstream, without passing through lethal turbines. The proposed rate hike is one of several recent increases. The administration already raised its rates by about 9% this

Smash burger restaurant opens in Thurston Co. New apartments planned in Tumwater

PNW Smash Burger , the father and son dream of Alexander and Xander Mararac, is now reality as the grand opening of the business is set for Saturday, Nov. 14. “After a long wait, we are officially opening our doors!” they said in an email. Both have food experience. Alex grew up working in his parents’ Filipino restaurant in South Tacoma, he said, and Xander, his son, studied culinary arts at the New Market Skills Center in Tumwater and was set to do the same at South Puget Sound Community College until the program closed, The Olympian previously reported. Let’s get to the important stuff: What’s a smash burger? It’s a balled up beef patty that is then flattened on a hot surface, stainless steel or cast iron, giving the burger a seared and crispy edge while maintaining its juiciness, the Mararacs told The Olympian. What’s on the menu? For one, the Alpine smash burger: Using 100% ground chuck, they then add grilled onions, melted Swiss cheese and top it with truffle garlic aioli sauce and serve it on a buttered toasted potato bun. Where can you get one? 730 Sleater Kinney Road SE, Suite D. They intend to operate

NORTH COAST COMMUNITIES FOR WATERSHED PROTECTION: Slash Burning Causes Air Quality Concerns for North Coast

(Rockaway Beach, Ore., Nov. 12, 2026) — For the past two weeks, North Coast residents have been dealing with large amounts of smoke in the air. The smoke is interfering with daily life by affecting visibility and making people sick. The source of the smoke is fires set by timber operators to eliminate slash after an area has been clearcut. The burn season is not over. There are more slash burns still planned for the North Coast, including at Davis Ridge in Clatsop County and east of the Cedar Wetlands Nature Reserve in Rockaway Beach.
