New antique store opens in Pierce County with home decor, clothing, gifts

In July, an antique store in downtown Buckley closed its doors after 27 years in business. Now a new shop has taken its place. Kristi’s Country Store opened Oct. 24 at 745 Main St. featuring antiques, clothing, home goods and artisan items from over a dozen different consignors. The store replaced The Queen’s Ransom, an antique mall that opened just a few doors down in 1999, before moving to 745 Main St. in 2015. Katie Morehead, owner of The Queen’s Ransom, said she’s always been into antiquing, and her mother was, too. The two of them opened antique shops in Seattle before Morehead decided to head to Buckley and open her own store. After nearly three decades, Morehead said, it was time to slow down and spend more time with her family. “I’m 63, and I’m tired,” Morehead said, chuckling. “It was a good run.” The timing worked out for Kristi Fernandez, who owns Kristi’s Country Store. Fernandez said she got into antiques as a little girl when her great-grandmother used to take her to garage sales.

Storm causes scattered power outages in Pierce, Thurston counties, PSE data show

An overnight windstorm knocked out power to thousands of residents, including those in Pierce and Thurston counties, according to power utility Puget Sound Energy. As of Sunday morning, about 13,000 utility customers were without power in PSE’s service area, most of them in the Seattle area. However, a power outage map showed that east Pierce County and rural Thurston County also were affected by the storm. A wind advisory took effect Saturday night through early Sunday morning, according to the National Weather Service. In the Seattle/Tacoma area, wind speeds rose to 40 mph, while the Olympia area experienced sustained gusts of 20 mph, the National Weather Service data show. Estimated restoration times were not immediately clear, although PSE officials said in a statement they were working on it. “We understand how difficult it is to be without power. Our teams are prepared, with additional staffing and crews ready to respond throughout the weekend, and crews will remain in the field to assess damage and restore power as long as it is safe.
