‘Only seen this in textbooks.' Pierce Co. girl's journey with rare brain malady

Kinley Harriman was 10 days old when she had a stroke. It was the summer of 2017 when her mother, Kayla Harriman, rushed her to Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital, where staff prepared to perform heart surgery. Just before Kinley went to the operating table, an ultrasound revealed something completely different: an ultra-rare brain condition called Vein of Galen Malformation (VOGM). Kinley — who lives in Bonney Lake with Kayla, her stepfather and two younger brothers — was the one person out of every 3 million with VOGM, according to a 2023 study from Duke University. Boston Children’s Hospital says the condition happens when arteries in the brain connect to veins instead of capillaries. The capillaries normally act as a buffer, slowing down blood flow; but with VOGM, bypassing the capillaries causes high-pressure blood to rush straight into the veins. VOGM is nearly 100% fatal if left untreated, according to the Journal of Neurosurgery — often leading to heart failure and severe brain injuries. Because the condition is so rare, specialized treatment is scarce, often forcing families out of state for complex surgeries — including the Harrimans, who flew across the country six times to see specialists at Boston Children’s Hospital.

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

There will be not one but two chances to see “KPop Demon Hunters” come to life on stage at the Tacoma Dome next year. The wildly popular movie, which debuted on Netflix in 2025, has been turned into a “a next-generation K-pop concert experience unlike anything fans have seen, heard, or felt before,” according to a press release.
