Roughly half of the more than 1.3 million family caregivers in Washington have been set back financially due to their responsibilities. That’s one of the sobering findings in a new survey of caregivers released by AARP this week. One-third of caregivers in the state report living in a household with income under $50,000, according to the report. But among all income levels, many have stopped saving or used up their savings, left bills unpaid, borrowed money and taken on more debt, and put off retirement. Nearly one in five family caregivers r...

Today is Thursday, Nov. 13, the 317th day of 2025. There are 48 days left in the year. Today in history: On Nov. 13, 2015, Islamic State militants carried out a set of coordinated attacks in Paris at the national stadium, in a crowded concert hall, in restaurants and on streets, killing 130 people in the worst attack on French soil since World War II.

To The Eagle, When people encounter something new — an idea, invention, or social change — our first reaction is rarely neutral. We may be fascinated, amused, or completely reject it. That initial response is emotional, not logical, shaped by instinct and experience. As time passes, those first impressions evolve. Some move toward acceptance, others toward rejection, and many stay in between — in a state of tolerance. Tolerance is often the longest and most complex stage. It can last for years, even generations, as people struggle to under...

Because the dates line up, The Eagle has decided to reprint events from 1975. Thank you to the Wahkiakum County Historical Society volunteer Julie O’Neil and volunteer curator, genealogist, and board member Kari Kandoll. Cathlamet News By Sandra Frink Kris Kringle It’s almost that time again! Time to begin listening for those sleigh bells, watching for Santa’s helpers and just thinking about all the good things that generally happen during the holiday season. It may be a bit early to start baking cookies and candies or putting up your decor...
Fall is just getting started and one thing is certain. As we get cooler nights, some insects start looking for places to snuggle in. They think this is a good idea. It isn’t, both for them and you. Most of them will not be able to find their way out of your home in the spring and they will die. A friend of mine was once remodeling a house and planned on adding insulation to the 80+ year old house. He didn’t think there was any insulation in a house that old. But as he removed some of the exterior siding, he was astonished. The wall void was...
I recently interviewed Tammy Peterson for our 37th installment of Reader's Fave, a casual interview with someone who shares their favorite book. Tammy is employed as the Wahkiakum County Treasurer.

As the book's theme touches on young people dying for no reason, Tammy was asked why the book seemed so good to her. "I grew up going to church,...

The National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry, or National Grange, was founded in 1867 to promote progress and cooperation in sectors vital to rural communities. Most prominent among these campaigns were advancements in agriculture, although the Grange also lobbied for other causes. Among these was free national mail delivery to rural areas. Though the National Grange has remaine...
