Old-School Maple Bars Still Get Glazed Every Morning At These 10 Washington Doughnut Shops

A doughnut counter in Washington unlocks its doors at 4 AM, seven days a week. Another one simply never closes, so a maple bar could be waiting for you at 3 in the morning. I love that kind of stubborn devotion. The maple bar is a plain rectangle of raised dough with a sweet maple glaze.

Dinner Comes Out Of A Century-Old Firehouse Kitchen At This Washington Restaurant

The fire engines are long gone, but the original brick walls from 1907 are still standing around your burger. Firefighter gear from the old days stays on display, so dinner comes with a side of history. I like how this Washington spot never tried to erase its past. Instead, it...

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.

Olympia Farmers Market vendor receives ‘permanent suspension,' owner says

Crafted Restorations, a knife maker and former vendor at the Olympia Farmers Market that had sought reinstatement to the market after they were suspended last month, has been permanently suspended, the owners announced on social media. The owners, Kevin and Stacy Box, were waiting on an answer about their market status via certified letter, which they received on Saturday. They posted about the news on social media the next day. “As of the November 7th letter from the Olympia Farmers Market director, Crafted Restorations has been permanently suspended from the market,” the social media post reads. It didn’t come as too much of a surprise, owner Kevin Box told The Olympian on Wednesday. “I figured that’s how it would go,” he said. The letter, which was shared with The Olympian, spells out an appeals process that goes through the farmers market board. Box said they plan to appeal and are also pursuing legal action, although he declined to comment on what the legal action might be. In the letter from market director Alvinita J. Stuart, also known as Alvi Stuart, she zeroed in on the vendor’s decision to share their concerns about the market on social media as her reasons

Pierce County city wants a new tax on warehouses. Will more cities follow?

Warehouses are set to become a source of new tax revenue for the city of Fife under an ordinance that’s been in the works for more than a year. What’s left is figuring out the exact details of what the tax structure will look like. Following a lengthy discussion and debate among Fife council members at the regular Nov. 10 meeting, the council voted to approve an initial version of the measure on first reading, but made clear that language would be adjusted for the second, final reading, which could be as soon as two weeks. Fife, along with other Pierce County metros, has seen its share of warehouse development with its proximity to the Port of Tacoma and Interstate 5. According to Fife’s website: “Businesses operating large warehouse and logistics facilities generate significant road usage and infrastructure wear, while contributing less through retail sales tax than other business types. This tax is designed to create a closer link between infrastructure demand and funding.” The council on Tuesday appeared to be moving toward restricting the revenue to the cost of administering the tax in the first year, return funds to the transportation benefit district that came out of the fund

‘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.
