Donald Trump is caught on tape bragging about assaulting women.
After going to the ferry meeting on Oct. 26, I’m confident there will be some improvements
Okay, confession time. It’s actually true what The Donald has been saying

Granny’s Attic has awarded $110,000 to island health-related organizations, but among the grants for Vashon Community Care and the newly opened Neighborcare Health clinic was $3,000 for the Interfaith Council to Prevent Homelessness. The reason for the funds? Medical marijuana.
Our ballots are arriving for the most important election of the year. Here is our chance to have our say, to make a difference in the halls of political power.
By Washington State Ferries’ (WSF) own admission, the triangle route is its most difficult to manage. Our humble little ferry run is WSF’s problem child, primarily because keeping it on schedule is an elusive task. Now, take note of the following statement: WSF hates nothing more than falling behind schedule. Here’s a list of things that WSF hates less: leaving ticketed cars on the dock while departing ferries have room for more, long lines of cars on Fauntleroy Avenue and the ire of ferry riders who plead for changes.

The deer were shot at very close range and dragged to my neighbor’s driveway where the two men put it into a truck. The sheriff’s deputies told me the car was registered in Graham.
