GREAT WEEKEND--I wish the sun and dryness would have lasted a little longer, but if it were to show up, then we're sure glad it chose Easter weekend to be here, as boy, it's been awhile since we had two dry days together on a holiday! It didn't hurt that there were a lot of events going on this weekend as well, and nothing brings out a crowd like the big yellow globe in the sky; it was great! However, Monday arrived with more dreariness and rain. These April showers are not letting up, so it's still time for umbrellas and boots it seems. As lon...

Salty Talks presents an evening of conversation on Wednesday, May 10 at Ilwaco’s Salt Pub & Hotel. It took over 50 years to build the immense structures that define the mouth of the Columbia River. They were constructed with the best turn-of-the-century technology. Steamships and locomotives moved and placed over 3 million tons of stone to build the North Jetty alone. Their construction has had a profound effect on both the people and the landscape of the region. Join local historian Gary Kobes to hear more about the fascinating history of b...

State shellfish managers have canceled the first two days (April 24 and 25) of a tentatively planned eight-day razor clam dig due to rising marine toxin levels. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) will announce next week whether the rest of the dig, now scheduled to begin April 26, will go forward as planned.

A bipartisan measure that will streamline a process for opening new habitat for endangered salmon and other aquatic species has been sent to Governor Inslee. House Bill 1275, sponsored by Rep. Brian Blake (D-Aberdeen) passed both chambers with unanimous support. State law requires forest landowners to remove or replace culverts and other stream crossing structures, located in their land, which can block fish from reaching their spawning grounds and young salmon from reaching the ocean. To date, forest landowners have spent over $300 million in...

WILD ONE--Depending on where you were this past week, you may have had some really crazy weather, which included lots of wind, rain, hail or if you were headed over an area of higher elevation, even some snow! While we had a slight blip in our power and several bumps, we didn't have a major outage here, but I know lots of other areas certainly did. While we got a break on Sunday for awhile, Monday was blustery and rain and hail were back in our area off and on. Here's hoping for some drier stretches of weather soon! NOT READY?!--Once again,...
