It’s getting colder in Washington state. As temperatures drop, you could start seeing small ice crystals forming on leaves, grass and roads. When can Western Washington residents expect to see frost covering the ground this fall? How long will frosty temperatures last, and how can you protect your plants and plumbing from the chill? Here’s what the experts say: When will we see the first frost in Washington state? When you can expect to see frost in 2026 depends on where you live in Washington state , according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac . The almanac looked at likely dates for the first and last frosts of the season , based on its long-range weather forecasts as well as historical frost averages.

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.

Lawsuit filed against Washington over ban on transgender girls from girls school sports

Lawyers representing a group of parents and nonprofit organizations officially filed a lawsuit against Washington state this week to prevent Initiative 638, a ballot measure that would ban transgender girls from playing in girls sports, from going into effect. The legal challenge begins three weeks before the measure is set to be implemented on Dec. 3 and asks a judge to rule I-638 unconstitutional before it takes effect next month. Voters approved I-638 with 56% of the vote in this month's general election, compared to 44% of voters who opposed the measure. Washington was one of four states -- including Arizona, Colorado and Nebraska -- where initiatives restricting transgender student athletes from playing on girls' sports teams were on the ballot this election cycle. All four measures have been approved by voters . Legal Voice, the ACLU of Washington and Pacifica Law Group are representing a number of plaintiffs in the lawsuit: a group of seven parents whose children play on girls sports team in Washington state public schools; TransFamilies, a nonprofit founded and based in Washington that provides support to transgender children and their families across the country; and the Washington Education Association, the state's educators union representing 80,000
