Fruit processor fined for failing to meet recycled plastic requirements

A Yakima Valley fruit processor is facing a fine of more than $20,000 for failing to use recycled plastic in any of its packaging materials. Tree Top Inc., which is headquartered in Selah, was one of eight companies fined more than $10,000 each by the state Department of Ecology for failing to meet a 2021 state law that now requires a minimum of 15% post-consumer recycled content in items such as single-use beverage containers.

Grab A Shopping Cart And Fill It With Antiques For Pocket Change At These 10 Washington Flea Markets

A 1940s Pontiac dealership in Washington now fills its old showroom with antiques instead of shiny new cars. On Saturdays, the whole building opens up for a flea market. That detail hooked me fast. Another market in the state charges nothing to get in on Saturdays and a small fee on Sundays.

The Line Starts Early at These 5 Washington Bakeries, and by Noon There’s Nothing Left

A twice-baked almond croissant can vanish before you even finish parking. That happens at more than one bakery on this list, and I find it oddly thrilling. One shop closes at 2 PM, yet pastries can be mostly gone by mid-morning. Another bakes its goods fresh in the very early hours, then watches the line spill out the door soon after opening.

Washington just opened a property tax break most veterans don’t know exists

Washington veterans who didn’t get property tax relief for years may finally qualify in 2027, but the state isn’t going to call to tell them. Beginning with taxes due in 2027, a combined service-connected disability rating of 40% or higher will be enough to enter the state’s exemption program. The old bar was 80%. The change comes from Engrossed House Bill 1106, sponsored by State Rep. Stephanie Barnard (R-Pasco). The original version would have dropped the rating to 20% by 2028, but the Senate amended it to stop at 40%. Lawmakers passed it in 2025.

Potential atmospheric river could bring heavy rain and blustery winds to western WA

November is normally the wettest month of the year. It also happens to rank as the number one month for river flooding. The primary reason is that there is usually little mountain snowpack to soak up those warmer rainy days when snow levels rise. However, after a dry start to...

Just four votes separate candidates in East Pierce County state House race

A person who represents East Pierce County in the Washington state Legislature has run for re-election — and her bid for another term is on thin ice. According to the Washington Secretary of State’s website , the race for the 25th Legislative District’s second state representative has a four-vote difference. As of 2:40 p.m. on Wednesday, Republican incumbent Cyndy Jacobsen has 28,359 votes (49.97%) to Democratic challenger Jenn Marie Strickling’s 28,355 (49.97%). The 25th Legislative District stretches across Puyallup, South Hill and the Summit-Waller area. Voters first elected Jacobsen to the seat in 2020, replacing Rep. Chris Gildon (R), who went on to become the district’s state senator. She has been re-elected twice, once in 2022 and once in 2024. Before running for her seat in Olympia, Jacobsen served one term on the Puyallup City Council. According to the voter’s guide , Strickling is from Orting and served on the Pierce County Charter Review Commission after being elected in 2025. Jacobsen ran alongside fellow representative Michael Keaton (R), whose bid for a second term looks unlikely. As of Wednesday afternoon, Keaton had received 27,951 votes to Democratic challenger David Berg’s 28,851 votes — a 900-vote difference. Kyle Haugh, elections manager

Keep your eye on the water this month. King tides and Kelvin waves are coming

In The Grateful Dead’s first Billboard Hot 100 single, “Uncle John’s Band,” Jerry Garcia famously sings, “Got some things to talk about, here beside the rising tide.” Here in the Pacific Northwest, we’re no strangers to rising waters in the winter, with our king tides usually arriving in November and lasting through February. This year, there’s a bit more to talk about, though. King tides arrive this year on Nov. 23 and will stick around until Nov. 27. They reappear again on Dec. 22. NOAA is forecasting high tides up to 13 feet in the Puget Sound during November’s king tides. In addition to marking the arrival of Washington’s king tides, November is also our stormiest month. Forecasters are calling this week’s weather a “ storm train ,” with atmospheric rivers converging over Western Washington to bring multiple days of gusty winds and smattering rain. Nov. 8 saw huge waves bashing Washington’s coastline as a weekend windstorm knocked the power out for over 100,000 customers across Western Washington. When high winds and waves sync up with king tides, much of Washington, from the coast to the inland waters of Puget Sound, has to prepare for rising waters (think levees, bulkheads
