Raze to the tougher standards of counting the homeless. It’s ridiculous not to be able to count them when you are talking to them, but they won’t give an initial or birth date.

Praise to how the Seattle Seahawks brought the entire state together as one.

Raze to the final play. Time to move on.

Praise to the waitress who found the missing toddler in a back alley.

Raze to the daycare that lost track of the child.

Praise to the HUGE Men of God for helping men deal with their issues.

Praise to the city of Marysville for trying to get help with its golf course. It has so much potential.

Praise to Marysville for its Father-Daughter Dances. They bring memories that will last a lifetime.

Praise to the Washington Youth Academy for helping struggling students recover to graduate and, even better, getting them to love to learn.

Praise to the Mariners Caravan for coming to town and giving our youth such wonderful memories.

Raze for evacuating Marysville-Pilchuck High in the same manner after a bomb threat that it did during the tragedy. That just brought back horrible memories.

Praise to the governor for showing support for Oso and M-PHS during the State of the State address.

Praise to the Marysville School District for leading the way with technology in the classroom.

Praise to Anthony Wiederkehr for returning to Lakewood to coach the basketball team.

Raze for Red Curtain not being able to raise the money to stay in its new home. It is such a valuable organization for this community. We hope they can find another home soon.
