Efforts underway to make alternative transportation options easier in Spokane
After hay bales were piled inside streetcar No. 202 and its blaze reddened the sky, after the flames were doused by firefighters and their six bathing suit-clad assistants, the day belonged to the bus. Billed as both celebration and commemoration, the public burning drew a crowd of 10,000 on Summit Boulevard in Spokane’s West Central neighborhood on Aug. 31, 1936. The event at Natatorium Park did more than mark the final journey of one streetcar in Spokane, which reportedly had logged more than 1.6 million miles during its 26 years of service. It marked the end of an era. Local transportation officials say we’re on the cusp of another era, but it won’t be as sudden a shift, and it likely won’t be marked with such pomp.

Although they have kept the title “Majority Coalition Caucus” in an apparent nod to Sen.

All committee chairmen or chairwomen are Republicans, as one would expect when a party has enough seats to decide most issues by itself.

Field reports: Three poachers at Banks Lake net 377 fish
Three men illegally using gillnets caught 376 whitefish and a trout from Banks Lake before being apprehended on Dec. 8 by Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Police. Two similar major busts involving gillnet fish poaching have occurred in the past two years at Banks and Lenore lakes, both in Grant County. In all cases, the suspects were from Western Washington and of Eastern European descent. “With the amount of fish they are taking, we’re sure they’re being commercialized within that (Eastern European) community,” said Capt. Chris Anderson, but no arrests have been made for the illegal sale of the sportfish.
