Drought still holds the Northwest as November begins. Over 61% of Washington sits in moderate drought, Oregon is nearly all abnormally dry, and Idaho's southwest corner is hurting most.
Northwest sportsman, boat and RV show season is still a couple months away, but many organizers have already set dates and booked expos, fairgrounds and other event centers for the 2027 editions of their shindigs in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and southern British Columbia. Here’s an early look at upcoming...

OLYMPIA — The Space Race, Star Trek and the TV cartoon, The Jetsons, stoked imaginations about the future of transportation and that imagination exists today as technological advancements from automated vehicles to fusion power tease us with generational breakthroughs for mobility. One of those enticing transportation modes is high...
Showing up matters; it’s how we show we care. We invite you to show up for your trans neighbors in the ways they already committed to themselves. As Pride Foundation’s CEO Katie Carter reflects, the results of this week’s elections push us to sit with the dichotomy of our current landscape. “Here in Washington, Jaelynn Scott’s win makes her the first trans state lawmaker in Washington and the first out Black trans state lawmaker in the nation! …While there is truly so much to celebrate from the monumental and historical wins this week, we also know that our work is far from over. In Washington State, a ballot initiative that would have forced school administrators to out LGBTQ youth was defeated, but in a devastating loss, an initiative that will ban trans girls from participating in sports passed.”
RENTON, Wash. — Authorities are warning Washingtonians to be vigilant for large-scale fraud cases tied to gold bar schemes. Law enforcement officials from the King County Sheriff's Office (KCSO), King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office, FBI Seattle, and the U.S. Attorney's Office spoke to reporters Thursday about rising fraud losses this year.
Voters in four states settled tax questions on Nov. 3 that will shape what lawmakers and city councils can do with money. North Carolina and Iowa added limits on state income taxes, Arizona capped what its cities can charge on groceries, and Washington voters turned down a repeal of the state’s new tax on income […]

It’s that time of year again; carrying chains is now required over the mountain passes until spring. Washington State Patrol reminded semi-truck drivers of the change this week. “I just think so many times when we've seen Snoqualmie Pass completely closed for a truck collision," said Trooper Jeremy Weber....
Today, our hearts feel tender, holding both hope and heartbreak. As election results arrive across Washington, Initiative 638—a cruel attempt to exclude transgender girls from school sports and force invasive exams on young athletes—is leading in early returns. This is just one of many anti-trans measures across the country designed to fracture our communities and sow fear.
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – A recent study from Washington State University found that maternal cannabis use could harm infants through breast milk. The study, published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, is the first of its kind to investigate if infants breastfed by women using cannabis show evidence of exposure to volatile organic compounds.
On a wet Tuesday in Clark County, a campaign flyer landed in a mailbox between a feed store receipt and a school calendar. The paper was glossy, the claims were sharp, and the return address was not local. That small scene captures why the Southwest WA legislative race has become a test of how much national money can reshape a place that still thinks of itself as close to home.

Ballots are already moving through the southwestern corner of the state, slipped into metal boxes outside libraries and grocery stores before many households have put up porch lights for the season. In the WA 3rd Congressional District, that early trickle is being read as a sign of a contest voters treat as close, personal, and unfinished. I have covered enough of these races to know a mailbox can be as political as a rally. People here do not wait for a single evening to declare themselves. They sort the voter pamphlet at the kitchen table, argue about taxes and the river, and send the envelope when the choice feels settled. The district has a habit of surprising narrators who want a simple map.
NORTH SOUND — Dry and benign weather to start November will shift to heavy rain next week according to weather forecasters calling for an atmospheric river of Pineapple Express dimensions to drench the Puget Sound and British Columbia. The soaking weather system is expected to plow its way through impacting Western Washington and the Cascades from Tuesday to Thursday next week.
Washington's fish and wildlife agency wants state lawmakers to make permanent a fee that funds key salmon and steelhead monitoring work in the Columbia River basin. Without it, they warn, anglers could lose some of their favorite fisheries. The Department of Fish and Wildlife is proposing legislation that would eliminate...
Homebuyers who purchased condominiums in northwest Washington in October experienced the lowest median home price since February 2023, according to the latest data from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service. The median condo price was $435,000. A year prior, the median condo price was 13% higher at $499,975. Across all property...
On a gray morning in western Washington, a voter pulls up to a metal ballot box, slides an envelope through the slot, and drives away in less than a minute. Nearby, two soldiers in ordinary jackets stand at a distance, unarmed and out of uniform, watching the box and the street around it. The arrangement is new enough to startle people who have used these boxes for years without a second thought. Officials describe the work as National Guard ballot boxes monitoring in seven counties, a quiet deployment meant to deter tampering while trying not to scare anyone off from voting.
The student editors of the George Washington Law Review have published the latest annual administrative law issue. I had the privilege of writing the foreword to the issue, which I titled Proportionality in Administrative Law. And I had the even greater privilege to share the issue with Margaret Kwoka and Maria Ponomarenko.
