To The Eagle: The town of Cathlamet and its library committee have concluded that a good temporary location for the library during town hall remodeling would be up in the Shell station plaza on SR4. A couple of weeks ago, the mayor presented the county commissioners an elegant idea: if the county would be willing to waive its hookup fees to the legendary "Sewer to Nowhere" that lies a-molderin' in the ground by Boege Road, then the mall would be able to hook up to it, preempting any potential sewer problems caused by the library's tenancy. But...

Port District 1 commissioners were all ears Thursday as Jim Wilson from Wahkiakum Fire District #4 discussed policies for emergency response at the Marina. “We currently don’t have any guidelines for emergency response here.

NICE WEEKEND--Easter weekend was certainly a nice one for all those traveling or enjoying the Easter egg hunts, although we did start Saturday morning in West Valley with a layer of thick, white frost and temps in the upper 20s.

As this work week began, it was still warm, albeit cloudy, but while it was dry, we were scurrying around trying to get as much done outside as...

For Janell Seaberg, manager of the Cathlamet Liquor Store, the practice of selling liquor will be nothing new....

The work week began with a bit of a break and everyone was thoroughly enjoying that sunny, dry, although rather blustery Monday. However, it didn't last as Tuesday morning is nothing but raindrops.
