High school football state tournament roundup: Federal Way routs Snohomish

Results, recaps, stats and more from Week 11 (state tournament first round) of the high school football season around the South Sound will be posted on this page over the weekend. FRIDAY’S GAMES (NOV. 13) FEDERAL WAY 54, SNOHOMISH 15 It’s almost unfair how many options Cordae Norling has in the Federal Way passing attack. There’s electric playmaker Tayven Collins, a New Mexico commit. Sprinkle in 6-foot-3 sophomore Justin Suega, who already looks like a Division I receiver. Then how ‘bout a little of 6-foot-2, 220-pound bowling ball junior Kaicen Carter, who’s already a coveted Division I linebacker prospect? There are some other options, too. All of them were on display in Federal Way’s 54-15 rout of visiting Snohomish in the opening round of the Class 3A state football tournament at Federal Way Memorial Field on Friday night. Norling, a sophomore, completed 31-of-41 passes for 450 yards and six passing touchdowns. He rushed for another. “I’ve been playing with (the receivers) since I was little, so just our chemistry, it’s gonna be there for forever. … It makes it easy, you know? If they’re not open, my pocket presence, mobility, scramble drill, we can just make stuff happen, no matter

Former Ram Restaurant in Lakewood will soon offer a ‘taste of Southern charm'

The owner of Hot Fish House, known for fried catfish and a giant turkey leg stuffed with and surrounded by all manner of Southern specialties, will soon introduce a full-service restaurant in the former Ram Restaurant and Brewery in Lakewood. Quinton Gethers is hopeful he can reach the finish line to open Q’s Restaurant — with a tagline of a “taste of Southern charm” — by the end of the year. The black-and-gold signs went up in October. He has been working on the approximately 8,000-square-foot space since April, he said, super-cleaning the carpet in the main dining room, which boasts a tall fireplace and several built-in, half-circle booths. ( The Ram in Lakewood closed in September 2025, but its other locations in Washington, including on Ruston Way, continue.) He spruced up the Ram’s old tables and chairs, painted the walls a Kelly-green hue and hung interesting images of animals in unusual settings, some in military garb. He already fielded inquiries for the generously sized private banquet room. The Ram company constructed the building in 1988, about 17 years after debuting its brewpub concept in what became Lakewood Towne Center. It feels somewhat of that era, with a cool greenhouse-style

Thanksgiving in Pierce County: Where to Eat When Nobody's Cooking

Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude, togetherness, and pretending you know how to make gravy from scratch. But if you're visiting Pierce County for the holiday, there's a decent chance your accommodations don't come with a roasting pan, six burners, or an oven…and maybe that's a good thing! Even if you’re simply unwilling to spend your day off work elbow-deep in a turkey, this one’s for you.

How DJ Mims turned Puyallup into WA's best high school football team

When Luke Parker broke Puyallup High’s single-season touchdown receptions record in last week’s playoff win over Lewis & Clark, he didn’t have to go far to find the previous record holder. Dane Looker was standing on the sideline, in fact, when Parker recorded his record-breaking 19th touchdown catch. Looker, who played with quarterback Brock Huard in the mid-1990s, is Puyallup’s receivers coach. “Congratulations,” he told Parker, a senior captain. “You earned it.” Looker went on to play at the UW and in the NFL. “It was really rewarding to hear,” Parker said. “But you know, I’m not satisfied. I feel like the state’s championship’s our goal as a team.” That goal is within reach. The WIAA’s state high school football tournaments begin this week across Washington. Puyallup, which is 10-0, is the No. 1 seed in the Class 4A tournament. At this point in the season, Puyallup is the state’s undisputed No. 1 team. Just look at the resume. A 57-14 road win over Rocky Mountain, one of Idaho’s top programs. A 32-14 win over Bellevue, which is a 3A title contender. A 43-42 overtime road win over Lake Stevens, the No. 2 seed in the 4A state tournament. A

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.
