Sue Lani Madsen, architect, rancher, writer and political activist from Edwall had this to say about the new boundaries of Washington’s legislative districts: Lincoln County has been moved to the 13th Legislative District, joining most of Grant County and all of Kittitas in a district stretching from the Spokane County line to Snoqualmie Pass with each county in a different Congressional District.

Happy New Year. Have we all turned over a new leaf? Or are we still trying to get a few more uses out of that old one? There are lots of pitfalls out there for those of us who are prone to believing that we can change our selves or our behavior just because of a date on the calendar. I know this, because I spend more time in the pits than I do out of them. Sometimes its easier to just stay in the pit because climbing out is so difficult. And unrewarding, because it seems...
