Yakima, Walla Walla customers to see Pacific Power rate decrease
YAKIMA, Wash. — Pacific Power announced that Washington customers including those in Yakima and Walla Walla will see an overall 7.9% rate decrease starting November 7, 2026, after the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission approved the change. The company said a typical residential customer could pay $12.14 less per month. The update came through the Power Cost Adjustment Mechanism, a filing with the commission that was meant to keep rates aligned with actual power costs over time, according to a release by Pacific Power. Ryan Flynn, Pacific Power president, said the lower rates come as colder weather can drive up energy use. "We understand affordability is a top concern for our customers. When the costs of delivering power go down, customers should see the benefit. With this adjustment, we’re pleased to share that our Washington customers will see a decrease on their bills just in time for the colder months when power usage increases," he said. Pacific Power serves about 137,262 customers in Washington, mainly in the Yakima and Walla Walla areas.

Yakima third grader’s quick thinking helps save classmate at Adams Elementary
YAKIMA, Wash. — A third grader at Adams Elementary School in Yakima was recognized after he helped a classmate who was choking. Jakwon Walker, 9, said he saw his friend in trouble and moved in to help instead of standing by. Jakwon noticed his classmate was choking, started patting the student on the back with one hand, and waving for school staff with the other. Staff said his actions helped the child breathe again before employees reached them. They also said they were surprised by how quickly he realized something was wrong and stepped in. “Those kinds of things can go from 0-100 real quick," said Michaela Moreno. Moreno, a special education para and one of the first staff members to respond, said Jakwon’s response reflected who he is. “To have that courage and quick thinking like that, it shocked me, honestly. And I was so proud,” said Michaela Moreno. Jakwon received a Save a Life Award during a school assembly Friday. For him, the award was not the biggest part. He said what mattered most was that his friend is still here. “What I was first thinking of was, should I go get a teacher, or should I go
