DAMP--This past weekend was a bit damp off and on and a little blustery too, but considering some areas were still dealing with snow and ice, and other parts of our nation suffered through a multitude of tornadoes and flooding, I'd say we fared pretty well. We cooled down Sunday night, so it was freezing here Monday morning, and it looks like we'll have those kind of tempertures just about every evening this week. However, I am enjoying this sunshine that showed up as the work week started, so I hope you did too. SPECIAL DAYS--Those...

The council approved a contract with the Chamber. Council members in December had expressed concern that the list of deliverable services was too vague. Council Member Sue Cameron subsequently met with Chamber...
To The Eagle: With all the snow, ice and frozen temperatures we have been having this winter, I can't help but think of the fantastic road crew we have here in Wahkiakum County. I live on one of those town hills that might be overlooked in other large counties but here, our hard working county employees never fail to de-ice, plow and/or sand our hills. I don’t know all the names of our county or state road crew employees but I know you have been working hard, putting in a lot of extra effort to make sure we can get to work and school and I, f...

It wasn't long after Kelly Patterson found her new home in Cathlamet that she found her new home away from home, the Wahkiakum Community Center. Patterson is the new coordinator. "We moved here in April," Patterson said. "We were supposed to look at all sorts of houses in Ilwaco, Kalama. And then we got here. I saw my house and I said, 'That's my house.'" According to Patterson, she and her husband Scott, a small business consultant, fell in love with the town immediately. An active, energetic a...

By Rick Nelson Wahkiakum County commissioners will host a public forum on retail marijuana stores January 24 in Rosburg.

Saying several Westend residents had asked him about laws and policies about location of retail marijuana stores, Commissioner Mike Backman requested the forum. A person applied last year to open a retail store in the old Rosburg Store building, but the...
MISERABLE--It got mighty cold last week in our region and depending on where you live, you got an extreme cold, down to 11 degrees here, plus some snowy or some icy conditons, along with some bitter breezes, which made things even colder. Seeing just rain on Sunday morning was super welcoming, which seems hard to believe, but I was happy to hear the heater finally shut down for a bit as temperatures got up in the 40s; yeah! Of course, Monday morning had us back in a blanket of snow, and by the time you read this, they say we may be back to the...
