Grateful to this Stanwood couple for sharing their story with me. Patricia Cairus said the journey from homelessness to becoming a business and home owner feels surreal. “I still get goosebumps a little bit." https://t.co/QsBktEBf97

The Cairus family moved at least 11 times since 2006. Housing Hope offered stable housing and a chance to “build traction.”

Ah, just when I had cut-off day all figured out, WA Senate yanks vehicle pursuit bill to the floor and passes it. Looks like bills for tougher DUI law and barring traffic stops for fix-it ticket types issues won't pass. Assault weapon ban up soon in the House. #waleg

This story by @JanicePods explores the nuances of the new pay transparency law. “Merely throwing in a pay range, however, won’t cut it,” one source said. “Employers should be prepared to explain the reasoning behind their range.” https://t.co/AUkLF8q2k4

Washington’s new pay transparency law aims to narrow wage gaps based on race or gender — though some companies may seek loopholes.

🧵 (1/8) Companies like @SoundPublishing are now required to post salary ranges in job postings thanks to a new pay transparency law. We’re grateful for the new law, but frustrated at the dismal starting wages and even lower pay for some existing @EverettHerald employees.

Tara and Scott Luckie dreamed of starting a farm. A WSU extension course helped them narrow down what they wanted to do and how to make it pencil. They love their shaggy Highland cattle, shot by new photographer @AnnaleighBarker on her first assignment! https://t.co/XslNtTuplo

The 12-week course is starting on Jan. 10. The program was a “reality check” for aspiring farmers, one graduate said.

Seniors living on two floors at the Stilly Valley Center are being evacuated for at least a month due to water damage from a leaky roof, and the entire three-story building could potentially be evacuated, reports @KaylaJ_Dunn.

Residents said water damage issues began years ago. Mid-winter repairs forced them into hotels.
