The decision weighed hea...
By Josh Kelety WNPA Olympia News Bureau OLYMPIA (Jan. 19) --The state Legislature passed a capital budget on Jan. 18—a day late for affordable housing projects across the state to receive crucial funding.

SUNSHINE--I think we all agree that the sunshine last Saturday and Sunday was certainly a welcome break from the dreary rain we'd been dealing with. Of course, this was a three day weekend, and it figures that we could only have two of the three be nice, but oh well, that was better than none! The clouds rolled in on Monday morning and they say this whole week is supposed to be wet, but this is one time that I wish the forecasters would be wrong, as we really were enjoying those sunny, uplifting days!
