C’mon. That’s the thought that keeps popping into my head as I go over the City of Tacoma’s reasons for denying a public records request from The News Tribune. When the news team here learned the city had investigated former police chief Avery Moore’s use of leave while at the Tacoma Police Department, they made a request to see the records of that investigation. Now, the city has taken that straightforward ask and headed for the nearest loophole.

Sound Transit bus 594 leaves the bus stop at 14th and Pacific Ave., on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, in Tacoma, Wash. Brian Hayes [email protected] Quick, what’s the fastest affordable way to get from Tacoma to Seattle without a car?

Was just saying that during a proper PNW Fourth of July, you shouldn't be able to tell the mist from the smoke. But fine, weather, have it your way! 🇺🇸☀️🎇
They say summer doesn't begin in western Washington until July 5. This year, it's starting on the fourth, as a treat. Hotter conditions also mean drier conditions. Avoid dragging chains, parking on dry grass or throwing smoldering objects out of your vehicle's window.
Is it really asking so much to demand federal legislation requiring online forms to stop adding caps and spaces in the email field?! I think not.
love this! what a cool way to see the effects approaching and diminishing
