Recently, the Tri-Cities native decided to take the leap and leave her job teaching in the Richland School District to pursue her passion with her husband, Matthew.

Even the concept of a patisserie is French. “(A) patisserie is a very specific shop that sells pastries,” West said. “Bakery is kind of a catch-all for everything we (make) here. A bakery might mean cakes, or it might mean bread, or it might mean pastries, or it might mean a combination of all three.” Sweet enthusiasts can expect chocolate éclairs, apple turnovers, seasonal tarts and chocolate croissants. West imports her chocolate from France, so expect real, authentic flavors. What sets West’s business apart from others is the “quality ingredients and different flavors to my offerings.” It started with bagels When West was younger, she worked as a bagel baker briefly. “I was like 19-years-old, and I loved it,” West said. “Honestly, it was my favorite job to date I’ve ever had,” From there, the

One restaurant on this list has swinging cowboy doors and more than 90 years of wonton soup behind it. I love that detail so much in Washington. Another spot keeps a separate entertainment room called the Lotus Room, complete with a jukebox. A third still serves something called the Bo Bo Platter.

Now open: A look at the trendy and unique finds at Tri-Cities Nordstrom Rack

The doors to the Tri-Cities first Nordstrom Rack open at 9 a.m. sharp Thursday, letting customers get a peek of what’s inside. Lucky for you, The Herald was invited to a press preview on Tuesday, Nov. 3, and I scouted out some unique finds that are perfect for holiday shopping, are trendy online or that I’d be happy if someone gifted me. Welcome to Try-Cities, where we take you beyond the breaking news to spotlight the businesses and issues that matter to our readers. Almost the entire back of The Rack was full of shoe aisles, giving shoppers choices between sneakers, heels, boots and more from recognizable names. These fun-colored Adidas sneakers caught my eye from the shelf as I was walking by, but there were also plenty of neutral options if that’s more your style. The aisles were organized by shoe size, making it easy to head to the right section. As we approach winter, I’ve been seeing lots of bright-colored, large-print outerwear hitting the shelves and Nordstrom Rack is no different. From bright knit hats to the trendy scarves I can’t escape on Instagram and large-print sweaters and puffer jackets, I think it’s safe to safe The Rack

Corporatocracy runs so rampant at Whitman that it ceases to be a topic of discussion or debate altogether, embedding company interest, influence and power as the norm rather than as a site of injustice. Bon Appétit Catering is responsible for all food, drinks and snacks in multiple campus buildings: Cleveland Commons, J-Caff and the Reid Campus Center. Yet, the true degree of Bon Appétit’s influence and jurisdiction goes unrealized by many.
