Hotel Cathlamet, an historic landmark in Wahkiakum County, is on the verge of reopening.

At that time it was converted to an assisted living facility for private-paying residents then shifted some rooms to state-pay rooms to accommodate their special clientele. The assisted-living facility ceased o...
To The Eagle: My friends suggested I apologize for my criticism of the port. I can't do that when I'm right; I never criticize unless I have a better solution. The shower floors were extremely slippery because of the type of high gloss paint they used. Use a flat rubber based exterior paint. Making sure it won't be slippery, add ground walnut shells. Toilet dispensers ideally should be as follows: The aft end of any dispensers should be in line with the front edge of the toilet. And the bottom of the dispenser should be 40 inches from the...

Last Thursday, the Wahkiakum Lady Mules overcame Naselle’s four run first inning to 10-run their KM counterparts in a 14-4 six-inning victory at Cathlamet. Brieanna Olsen picked up the victory for the Lady Mules, settling down after issuing three walks and a pair of singles in the first inning to allow only two hits over the next five innings. One of those two hits was a one-out double in the third inning, but she was quickly erased when the next batter lined out to second baseman Morgan Elliott, who quickly got the ball to shortstop Tori W...

Steven Doumit and Leo Onodera each went 2 for 3 with a double and a single in game two, with Doumit...

To The Eagle: Over 26 years I have relied on the Elochoman Marina to take my showers. Eighteen of those years I lived on my boat at the marina, until the staff members collaborated with a pike minnow fisherman falsely accusing me of threatening to shoot him. I'm guilty of shooting a picture of his boat that I sold him earlier. The marina wanted to get rid of me because I called the sheriff when drunken parties went on all times of the night. After 18 years, they evicted me from the marina. Last time I was accused of shooting anyone was in the...
