PRETTY WET--We had some pretty wet times last week but the sun came out after a rainy spell and boy, did it get steamy. The humidity was almost worse than the hot/dry days, as the mugginess was enough to make one melt. Thank goodness for AC and ice tea; both helped to cool us down a bit. The sunny weekend was great but it sure came with some cooler, super foggy mornings, so it definitely feels like Fall! The rains that returned at the beginning of the week were welcomed by some, but we're told the sun is to have returned by the time you read...

RAINS RETURN--As Fall officially began there was definitely a change in the weather, as when I was headed to bed, the rain was coming down quite heavily and lightning lit up the sky and the thunder shook the house! I'd say the seasons were changing right on schedule! Hopefully we'll still have nice days that forecasters are predicting for the weekend, as I'm not ready to let the nice weather go completely just yet. It seems hard to believe that we are ending another month; time just seems to be flying by, as Christmas is only three months from...

Before Columbia Land Trust came on the scene, life on Kandoll Road was quiet, serene and full of nature sounds for the local human inhabitants. Then, along came big money and ideas that would put fish and their habitat before people and their homes and property. In this case, Columbia Land Trust acquired lots of grant money to install two 13-foot diameter culverts under Kandoll Road which allowed flood waters from the Grays River to flow into Seal Slough. These high water events flooded neighboring properties and eroded private dikes on Seal...

To The Eagle: Kudos to Cathlamet for being number two in the State of Washington for the safest places to live. Two reasons come to mind why Cathlamet ranked so high. 1. Great people live in our area. 2. Great police department that stays on top of those who choose not be be so great. Proud to call Cathlamet, Puget Island and Skamokawa home.
