Wahkiakum Health & Human Services is slowly bringing their new quarters, tentatively called the Hope House, into operation. Last summer, the congregation of the United Church of Christ, Congregational, disbanded and donated their church building and parsonage to Health & Human Services so that it would benefit the people of Wahkiakum County. Since then, Health & Human Services has been painting, moving and repositioning. On Tuesday, department staff held an open house to show what they've done...

Wahkiakum Wohbot Wohundup robotics tournament was hosted by Wahkiakum School District and Wahkiakum 4-H last Thursday at Wahkiakum High School. There were so many robots, or "bots" as the kids call them, that there was not enough room to show all of them. A few were shared to give an approximate idea of the variety of styles and workmanship that went into constructing these wonderful Wohbots. The entrants were students from second through 12th grades from Cathlamet and high school students from...
Motorists will soon see a reduced speed limit on SR 4 through Cathlamet. Both the Cathlamet Town Council and Wahkiakum County Board of Commissioners agreed to ask the Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to lower the speed limit to 35 miles per hour. The move would be part of a long range effort to increase safety along the highway through Cathlamet. Officials from both the town and county have supported proposals for lower speed and other changes to improve safety on SR 4 between the Elochoman Valley and Boege roads intersections....
To the Eagle: Every year I feel like I am being railroaded by the Assessor’s office. Last year my property taxes on my then 7-year old manufactured home increased 10 percent from the previous year, this year they increased by yet another 19 percent above last year’s appraisal! Last year, I appealed my appraisal, arguing that manufactured homes (MH) should only depreciate in value, and should never appreciate unless improvements have been made to them. The appeals process appears quite easy at face value. Simply submit the completed pet...
To The Eagle: I was shocked to read your AP article emphasizing state official’s total lack of integrity by elected Legislators and our WA attorney general. This bipartisan failure to support and enforce WA constitutional protection brings shame on them all. The singular issue is not important. Those WA officials’ hubris and open willingness to violate legal due process is appalling and paramount. WA senator: “I have incredibly grave concerns that we are creating a convoluted process for getting around a [WA State] constitutional right...
A Vancouver man staying on a boat at the Elochoman Slough Marina died after falling in the water late at night and responders had difficulty finding because of darkness.

At 12:36 a.m., according to the report, the cries became quieter and less frequent. At 12:59 a.m., a man was found in the water and responders began cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). It was very difficult t...
NOT SO GREAT--I suppose it depended on where you were, but as this week began, Sunday was definitely on the wet side in West Valley. We did have our dry moments, but for the most part, it was damp. Saturday was a bit better with more sun than rain, so I hope you were able to get out and enjoy the dryness on that day at least. However, the work week began dry after some very thick fog, which kept the ships' horns blowing all night long. Unfortunately the forecast for this week shows more rain than sun, and some very cold temperatues in the...

For the past few years our parade has boasted of having more Irish wolfhounds than the Seattle and Portland parades. This year Seattle had 14 wolfhounds, and we had 13 wolfies and one great Dane, so we’ll grudgingly concede a tie. The group marched up and down Main St., Cathlamet and grouped in front of the courthouse. The marchers regrouped for great Irish dinners at Duffy's Pub in Gray's River....

To The Eagle: What a joy and asset we have here in The Wahkiakum Eagle with our friend, Howard Brawn. He puts the lie to much of the hysteria and mean back biting from our leftist democrat neighbors. When all we readers get is a steady stream of AP handouts and media lies in The Eagle, that's OK. The Daily News isn't any better. Personally, I get my news and opinion from the myriad sources on the internet, both left and right. The Eagle is a fine little town paper. Most of the opinions are amusing. I confess that the suffering democrats are...
GORGEOUS--In spite of some cold nights, the sunshine that shone through my windows on Saturday and Sunday was certainly welcomed! It was even into the 60s, which was a far cry from those cold, wet, windy and nippy 30 and 40 degree temperatures we've been having lately. I hope you got to enjoy the sunshine while it was here, as we all know that after a few of those, the rains return. Hopefully the sunshine will return, as we already mowed the lawn, and we know what happens once you do that, you'll be remowing it after every rain storm, as it...

The Rosburg store has been a local icon since Mable and Leoni Olsen built it at its present location in 1951. The original store, according to to Mike Swanson, was next to the Rosburg Community Hall. He should know because he owned and operated the store for 27 years from 1981 until he sold it in 2008. Ed and Roni Miller along with Ed's brother, Landen, have bought the store and are in the process of remodeling. Ed and Landen's father grew up in Cathlamet. The two brothers often hunted in the co...
