Spanaway Post Office hours… sorta
By Marianne Lincoln It was 6:05 p.m. when I pulled up to the main Spanaway Post Office tonight. The lights were off and the doors were locked tight. Nevermind that the sign inside says the lobby closes at 6:15 p.m. Our Spanaway Post Office closes when the last man leaves, regardless of the time. Needless…

4 day school week signs are NOT about Bethel
By Marianne Lincoln I was out of town a few days in October. When I returned, a new and different campaign sign had appeared all over the neighborhood. The signs belong to a local political candidate, but on first glance, it looks like it might have something to do with the school district. In fact, so…
