The commissioners held formal hearings in Tokeland, South Bend, and Long Beach to get feedback from residents and they will be making a decision on the ordinance in July.

Dear Savvy Senior,

I just turned 65 and received my Medicare card. I see that the ID number on my card is the same as my Social Security number, and on the back of the card it tells me I need to carry it with me at all times. What can I do to protect myself from identify theft if my purse and Medicare card get stolen?

increase chance of wildfires

As people plan outdoor activities around the Fourth of July weekend, the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is urging the public to be aware of fire restrictions in place around the state due to rising fire danger.

State Fire Marshal Charles M. Duffy is reminding Washingtonians that the purchase of fireworks over the internet is illegal. 

State Fire Marshal Chuck Duffy announced today that in 2013 there were 102 fires

There were 341 fireworks-related injuries and fires reported to the State Fire Marshal’s Office by fire departments and hospitals in 2013.

Consumer firework sales across the state will begin at noon on Saturday, June 28 and continue until 9:00 p.m. on July 5.

The date is getting closer to when Washington residents will be able to walk in and purchase recreational marijuana, but you may have to travel before a retail store opens in Grays Harbor.
