SKAGIT COUNTY, Wash. — The population of summer-fall Chinook salmon expected this year on Washington's Skagit River will be the lowest in nearly 15 years, dealing another devastating blow to Native American tribes whose culture and subsistence have depended on the fish for millennia. The grim forecast means the Sauk-Suiattle Indian Tribe will be permitted to harvest just 24 wild Chinook salmon this season — a stark contrast to the abundance their ancestors once knew.

OLYMPIA, Wash. — When scammers stole Barb Putnam's life savings last year, the 73-year-old retired state worker from Olympia, Washington, lost more than just $300,000. She also lost her self-confidence, sense of security and her health: doctors prescribed medications for anxiety, hypertension and worsening diabetes. "I wasn't sleeping. I wasn't eating. I didn't feel safe," Putnam said. "I didn't feel safe in my own home." But the stress didn’t end there.

OLYMPIA, Wash — Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson signed a law Monday that bans a substance that dozens of young people have used to die by suicide.
