Low Snowpack Honoring Our Community’s Legacy Prompts Drought Declaration Submitted

Staff Report

ashington state officials have declared a statewide drought following a winter marked by unusually low snowpack, raising concerns about water supply heading into the warmer months. According to the Washington State Department of Ecology, the declaration reflects a growing gap between available water and expected demand. Snowpack-often described as the state’s natural reservoir-has fallen well below normal levels in many basins, leaving less water available to replenish rivers, reservoirs, and irrigation systems this spring and summer. Federal water supply forecasts reinforce the severity of the situation. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service, Washington’s snowpack measured about 54% of normal entering March, with several basins reporting significantly lower levels. With peak snowpack typically reached in early April, officials say there is little time left in the season to recover from the deficit. As a result, below-normal streamflows are expected this spring and summer, reducing water availability during the region’s driest months. Under state law, a drought is declared when water supply is projected to fall below 75% of normal and there is potential for significant impacts to communities, agriculture, or the environment. WHAT THIS MEANS FOR URBAN AND RURAL RESIDENTS While a drought declaration can sound alarming, its effects are not felt evenly. In more urban areas, many residents rely on large, managed water systems that store supply in reservoirs. Because of this, immediate impacts may be limited. Most households are unlikely to see sudden restrictions right away, though voluntary conservation measures may be encouraged if dry conditions continue. In rural areas, the situation can be very different. Households that rely on private wells or smaller water systems may begin to feel impacts sooner, particularly if groundwater levels drop or seasonal water sources dry up earlier than expected. For these residents, water availability can become a more immediate concern as summer approaches. PRESSURE ON AGRICULTURE AND LOCAL ECONOMIES Agricultural communities are often among the first to feel the effects of drought. With less snowmelt feeding rivers and irrigation systems, farmers may have to reduce planting, prioritize certain crops, or leavwe fields unplanted altogether.

Mount Rainier Visitors Urged to Conserve Water and Prepare for Winter Conditions Staff Report

isitors heading to Mount Rainier National Park this spring are being asked to plan ahead, conserve water, and prepare for winter conditions that remain in place at higher elevations. According to the National Park Service, changing climate conditions are putting increasing pressure on the park’s water supply. The loss of perennial snowfields over the past several decades, combined with warmer temperatures and reduced snowpack, is decreasing the amount of water available later in the summer. Much of the park’s water comes from snowmelt-fed lakes and streams. At higher elevations such as Sunrise, water sources rely almost entirely on snowmelt. As temperatures rise, more precipitation falls as rain instead of snow. This leads to earlier runoff and less water available during peak visitation.

TEMPORARY WATER OUTAGE AT KEY LOCATIONS

Park officials also note that Paradise and Narada Falls will not have water available until Thursday, April 16 at 7 a.m. Drinking water will not be fully restored until Saturday, April 18. Visitors planning trips during this period are strongly encouraged to bring all necessary drinking water with them.

VISITORS ASKED TO CONSERVE WATER

Even outside of outages, water conservation remains critical. Visitors should bring reusable water bottles and fill them before arriving, as many park locations do not sell water. Seasonal water fountains are available at some sites, including Longmire, Paradise, Sunrise, and select campgrounds, but availability varies. Additional conservation steps include: • Using vault toilets, which don’t require water • Reporting leaks to park staff • Avoiding flushing trash, which can waste several gallons of water per use For overnight visitors, turning off the tap while brushing teeth and taking shorter showers can significantly reduce water use.

WINTER CONDITIONS REMAIN AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS

Park officials are also reminding visitors that winter conditions continue at higher elevations, particularly at Paradise. Snow may remain well into early summer, and trails can be unmarked and

difficult to follow when covered. Visitors should not rely on existing tracks in the snow, as they may lead off established routes. To stay safe, visitors are advised to: • Wear warm, waterproof clothing • Use proper footwear such as boots, snowshoes, or traction devices • Cover exposed skin to prevent frostbite • Bring sufficient food, water, sunscreen, and eye protection Before traveling, visitors should check weather and avalanche forecasts and review safety guidance at go.nps.gov/ springhikingsafety.

PLAN AHEAD FOR A SAFE VISIT

Officials emphasize that preparation is essential. Bringing adequate supplies, conserving water, and understanding current conditions will help ensure a safe visit. With limited water availability and ongoing winter hazards, visitors who plan ahead can help protect both themselves and the park’s resources.

Dear Savvy Senior, I’m trying to figure out the best time for my wife and I to start taking our Social Security retirement benefits and would like to understand the breakeven age. What can you tell me? —Strategizing Sam Dear Sam, s you approach retirement, one of the most important financial decisions you’ll face is when to begin collecting Social Security retirement benefits. A useful concept to guide your thinking is the “breakeven age,” which helps you evaluate the trade-off between taking a reduced benefit early versus a higher one later. Here’s what you should know.

BREAKEVEN AGE The breakeven age is the point when the total benefits from waiting to claim equal the total you would have received by starting earlier. Live longer than that age and delaying pays off. Live shorter and claiming early pays more. It’s a simple benchmark for retirement planning. The exact breakeven age varies based on individual circumstances, but a common comparison is between claiming at age 62 versus waiting until FRA. For

most people, the breakeven age for this scenario is around 78. Another common comparison is claiming at FRA versus waiting to age 70. The average breakeven age here is around 82. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS Keep in mind that while the breakeven age is a powerful tool, it is just one piece of the puzzle. It doesn’t account for other crucial factors like your health and family longevity. If you have chronic health problems or a family history of shorter lifespans, taking a reduced benefit early might be the most prudent choice to ensure you receive a significant number of payments. On the other hand, if you’re in good health and expect to live a long life, delaying your benefits to age 70 can provide a much higher income stream that acts as a form of longevity insurance. To estimate your life expectancy, try the online tool livingto100.com. Furthermore, a married couple’s claiming strategy can be complex. The higher-earning spouse’s decision can significantly impact the survivor benefits for the lower-earning spouse. Waiting for the higher earner to claim at age 70 can provide a larger benefit for the surviving spouse for the rest of their life. In the end, there is no one-size-fits-all answer. The breakeven age provides a useful framework for comparison, but the decision of when to claim your benefits should also consider your health, financial situation and family.

Pierce County Library Seeks Community Leaders to Serve as Trustees Staff Report

esidents looking for a meaningful way to give back to their community have an opportunity to help shape the future of local library services. The Pierce County Library System is currently accepting applications for its Board of Trustees, a group of volunteer leaders who help guide the direction, policies, and long-term planning of the library system. Library officials say trustees play a critical role in ensuring services meet the needs of communities across Pierce County, particularly as libraries continue to evolve beyond traditional roles. “Trustees help guide many strategic priorities, from capital planning to ensuring services reach people where they are most needed,” said Executive Director Gretchen Caserotti. “We’re looking for engaged leaders who want to make a difference for the diverse communities of Pierce County.”

A GOVERNANCE ROLE WITH COMMUNITY IMPACT

The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing major decisions that shape how the library system operates and grows. Responsibilities include: • Advocating for library services • Setting goals and long-term direction • Approving budgets

• Adopting policies • Planning for future needs The board is made up of five members who serve as non-paid volunteers, each appointed to a five-year term. While trustees are not involved in daily operations, their decisions influence everything from facility investments to how services are delivered across neighborhoods. The Pierce County Library System serves approximately 680,000 residents and operates 19 library locations along with robust online services. With more than one million items available-including books, e-books, audiobooks, and films-the system supports lifelong learning, recreation, and community connection.

WHAT MAKES A STRONG TRUSTEE?

Library leaders say the role is open to a wide range of applicants, but certain qualities can make candidates particularly effective. According to the American Library Association, strong trustees typically bring a mix of community awareness, leadership skills, and a commitment to public service. Trustees are expected to think strategically, act in the public interest, and support the longterm mission of the library system rather than focusing on individual concerns. Key qualities often include: • Community perspective:

Understanding the needs of diverse populations and advocating for equitable access to services • Strategic thinking: Helping guide long-term planning and adapting to changing community needs • Financial awareness: Reviewing and approving budgets responsibly • Collaboration: Working effectively with other board members and library leadership • Advocacy: Serving as ambassadors for library services within the community Trustees also play an important role in maintaining public trust. As stewards of a publicly funded institution, they are responsible for ensuring transparency, accountability, and responsible use of resources.

HOW TO APPLY

Applications for the Board of Trustees are open through May 1, 2026. Interested individuals can apply online or in person at any Pierce County Library location. Officials encourage early applications from those interested in helping guide one of the state’s largest library systems. More information and application details are available at https://mypcls.org/ about-us/board-of-trustees/ trustee-application/

Notes from the Eatonville Town Council Meeting – April 13 Staff Report

he Eatonville Town Council approved a preliminary subdivision, advanced multiple infrastructure projects, and reviewed policy and governance changes during its April 13 meeting.

COUNCIL APPROVES NELLY PLAT SUBDIVISION

The council approved Resolution 2026-L, granting preliminary plat approval for a subdivision known as Nelly Plat. The proposal allows for the development of eight single-family residential lots on approximately 2.5 acres located along Eatonville Highway West. The site includes an existing partially developed project, with some infrastructure such as road access, water and sewer connections already in place. Approval of the preliminary plat includes conditions outlined in the town’s staff report and requires final engineering review before construction can proceed. State law requires the final plat to be submitted within five years.

POWER RATES DISCUSSED

Councilmembers received a presentation from the Bonneville Power Administration on its financial reserves and upcoming rate case. The discussion focused on BPA’s reserve policies, which are used to maintain financial stability and help manage rate impacts over time. BPA representatives also outlined how weather conditions and water availability affect power generation and long-term financial planning.

INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN WORK MOVES FORWARD

The council approved two resolutions authorizing design work for upcoming road and utility projects. Under Resolution 2026-M, the town approved a professional services agreement with Psomas for design of the Ridge Road West and Madison Avenue South overlay project, with a contract not to exceed $59,622. A second agreement, approved under Resolution 2026-N, expands that work to include design for improvements along Ridge Road West, Madison Avenue South, Pennsylvania Avenue North and Larson Street West. The contract for that project is not to exceed $174,267.80. The projects include planning for roadway improvements as well as upgrades to underground

utilities such as water, sewer, storm drainage and electrical systems.

STORMWATER POLICY UPDATE INTRODUCED

Councilmembers held the first reading of Ordinance 2026-9, which would amend the town’s stormwater regulations to allow a fee-in-lieu option for certain development requirements. The proposal would allow developers, in some cases, to pay a fee instead of constructing on-site stormwater management systems. The collected fees could then be used by the town to fund larger or regional stormwater infrastructure projects. Town officials said the change is intended to provide flexibility while supporting long-term planning and system capacity.

READER BOARD RULES ADOPTED

The council approved Resolution 2026-O, establishing rules for use of the town’s electronic reader board located at Nevitt Park. The policy allows messages promoting community events, local government activities and certain nonprofit or public-interest announcements. Restrictions prohibit commercial advertising, personal messages and political content not tied to an otherwise permitted event. Messages are limited in duration and must follow formatting requirements set by the town.

POLICE VEHICLE PURCHASE APPROVED

Councilmembers also approved Resolution 2026-P, authorizing the purchase of a new police vehicle. The town will purchase a 2025 Ford Explorer for $48,944.94, using funds from the equipment replacement fund. The expense will be included in a future budget amendment.

STRUCTURAL CHANGES INTRODUCED

The council held first readings on two ordinances that would eliminate existing town entities. Ordinance 2026-10 would formally eliminate the Town of Eatonville Fire Department following the town’s annexation into South Pierce Fire and Rescue, which was approved by voters in 2024. Ordinance 2026-11 would eliminate the town’s Airport Commission, with its responsibilities expected to be reassigned to a council committee. Both ordinances are expected to return for a second reading and possible adoption at a future meeting.

Pre-Registration Required for 2026 Mineral Lake Fishing Derby as Organizers Emphasize Invasive Species Compliance Staff Report

rganizers of the 33rd Annual Mineral Lake Fishing Derby are urging participants to plan ahead this year, as new enforcement emphasis on aquatic invasive species regulations will require pre-registration for anyone launching a boat during the event. The derby, scheduled for April 25–26, remains one of the region’s most anticipated spring traditions, drawing anglers of all experience levels to Mineral Lake. But alongside the excitement, organizers say compliance with state environmental rules will play a critical role in keeping the event running smoothly. In accordance with Washington State Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) regulations under WAC 220-220-220, all participants launching boats into Mineral Lake must complete pre-registration requirements before entering the water. These measures are intended to prevent the spread of invasive species that can damage ecosystems, harm fish populations, and disrupt recreational waterways.

WHAT PARTICIPANTS NEED TO KNOW

All anglers-whether fishing from a boat, dock, or shoreline-must purchase a derby ticket before placing a line in the water in order to qualify for prizes. However, only those launching boats are subject to the AIS pre-registration requirement. Shoreline and dock anglers are exempt from the decontamination paperwork but must still secure their ticket in advance. The derby officially begins at 12:01 a.m.

on Saturday, April 25, with catch entries accepted through 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, April 26. Ticket sales will close at 10:00 a.m. on the final day of the event. Tickets are priced at $10 per participant.

Balancing recreation with environmental stewardship has become increasingly important as participation in outdoor activities grows and waterways face new pressures.

WHERE AND WHEN TO REGISTER

With limited cellular service in Mineral, organizers strongly encourage attendees to come prepared. Bringing cash is essential not only for derby tickets, but also for raffle entries, vendor purchases, and food and beverages. Participants planning to launch boats are advised to allow extra time for registration and paperwork, particularly during peak hours on Saturday morning. Organizers also recommend reviewing AIS requirements in advance to avoid delays at check-in.

Participants can purchase tickets and complete AIS paperwork at designated locations in Mineral: Lions/Legion Community Building 108 E Front St. Mineral, WA • Friday, April 24 | 12:00 p.m. – 12:00 a.m. • Saturday, April 25 | 5:00 a.m. – 8:00 a.m. Mineral Lake Lions Den Campground 113 E Front St. Mineral, WA • Saturday, April 25 | 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. • Sunday, April 26 | 7:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Organizers emphasize that no tickets will be sold at the state boat launch, and all transactions will be cash only.

WHY AIS COMPLIANCE MATTERS

The pre-registration requirement reflects growing concern across Washington about the spread of aquatic invasive species-organisms such as zebra mussels and milfoil that can be transported between waterways on boats and trailers. According to the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife, invasive species can severely impact native ecosystems by outcompeting local species, clogging waterways, and damaging infrastructure. Once introduced, they are often difficult or impossible to remove. To reduce that risk, participants launching boats must complete: • An AIS Decontamination Statement

PLANNING AHEAD

indicating whether their watercraft has been used outside Washington in the past 30 days • An AIS Decontamination Report, if applicable, verifying that proper cleaning procedures have been completed Forms will be available at registration sites.

A COMMUNITY EVENT WITH GROWING RESPONSIBILITY

Now in its 33rd year, the Mineral Lake Fishing Derby continues to serve as both a recreational event and a community gathering. In addition to fishing, the weekend typically includes raffles, local vendors, and food offerings that draw visitors from across the region. But organizers say the added requirements reflect a broader shift toward protecting natural resources while maintaining access to them.

LOOKING AHEAD TO DERBY WEEKEND

Despite the added steps, organizers say the goal remains the same: to provide a fun, accessible event for anglers while protecting the lake for future generations. By ensuring compliance with AIS regulations, participants are helping preserve the health of Mineral Lake and other waterways throughout the state. For many, the derby is a longstanding tradition-one that now comes with a renewed focus on environmental responsibility.

Donors Urgently Needed for Pierce County Blood Drive

very two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood—and right now, communities across the country, including Pierce County, are facing a critical shortage. Local officials and healthcare partners are urging residents to step up and donate, as supplies of blood and plasma remain under pressure due to declining donor turnout and ongoing demand from hospitals. In response, Pierce County Human Services Community Action Programs (CAP) is partnering with American Red Cross to host a community blood drive on Wednesday, May 13, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Sprinker Recreation Center in Tacoma. The event is part of Community Action Month, an annual effort to highlight programs that strengthen local communities and support those in need. Organizers say the timing could not be more important. “Our mission has always been to strengthen our community and support our neighbors when they need it most,” said Carol Mensah, Community Action Programs manager. “With our region facing a critical blood shortage, there is no better way to celebrate Community Action Month than by rolling up our sleeves. Donating blood is a powerful, tangible way we can all come together to save lives right here in the South Sound.”

chemotherapy can reduce the body’s ability to produce platelets, which are necessary for clotting and preventing dangerous bleeding. Platelet donations can be especially valuable, as a single donation may help multiple patients. Patients living with sickle cell disease often require regular transfusions throughout their lives. Because successful transfusions depend on closely matched blood types, maintaining a diverse and steady donor pool is essential. Plasma, another component of blood, plays a crucial role in treating burn victims and patients experiencing severe trauma. In cases of major burns, plasma helps restore fluid levels in the body and can prevent life-threatening complications such as shock or organ failure. Together, these uses highlight how a single blood donation can support multiple patients and medical needs.

WHY BLOOD DONATIONS MATTER

Many donors may not realize what happens to their blood after it is collected. According to the Red Cross, donated blood is carefully handled and processed to maximize its lifesaving potential. After donation, blood is stored on ice and transported to a processing center, where it is logged into a database and separated into its primary components: red blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Each component is packaged into standardized units for use in hospitals. The blood is then tested for type and screened for infectious diseases. Any

Blood donation remains one of the most direct ways individuals can make an immediate impact. Donated blood is used every day in hospitals for a wide range of medical needs. During surgeries—such as heart operations, organ transplants, and emergency procedures following accidents—patients often rely on transfusions to survive. Red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body, are especially critical in trauma care. Cancer patients also depend heavily on blood donations. Treatments such as

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU DONATE

donation that does not meet safety standards is discarded, and donors are notified if necessary. Approved blood products are labeled and stored under specific conditions— red cells in refrigeration for up to six weeks, platelets at room temperature for several days, and plasma frozen for up to a year. From there, blood is distributed to hospitals as needed, often within hours of being processed, ensuring a steady supply for emergency and routine care.

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN DONATING

For those considering donating for the first time, the process is simple, safe, and relatively quick. Donors are encouraged to register in advance, get plenty of rest, and stay hydrated before their appointment. On the day of the donation, participants will complete a brief health screening, including a mini-physical and questions about medical history. A standard whole blood donation collects about one pint and typically takes eight to ten minutes. While some donors may experience mild dizziness or fatigue afterward, most are able to resume normal activities the same day after a short rest period. Eligibility requirements are straightforward: donors must weigh at least 110 pounds, be in good health, and feel well at the time of donation.

After donating, participants are advised to avoid strenuous activity for several hours and continue drinking fluids over the next couple of days.

A COMMUNITY EFFORT

Pierce County CAP, which has served local residents since 1970, focuses on programs that support household stability, including energy assistance, home weatherization, and minor home repairs. The organization is part of a nationwide network of Community Action Agencies working to reduce poverty and expand opportunity. Community Action Month provides an opportunity to highlight these efforts while encouraging residents to give back in meaningful ways. Hosting a blood drive aligns closely with that mission by offering a simple, accessible way for individuals to support their neighbors. Participants in the May 13 blood drive can register by calling 1-800-REDCROSS or visiting RedCrossBlood.org and entering the code PierceCountyWA. As an added incentive, donors will receive a $20 Amazon gift card as a token of appreciation.

A SIMPLE WAY TO SAVE LIVES

While there are many ways to contribute to a community—through volunteering, coaching, or charitable giving—blood donation stands out for its immediate and measurable impact. With hospitals relying on a steady supply of blood to treat patients every day, even a single donation can make a difference. As the region works to address its current shortage, local leaders hope residents will answer the call. For those who are able, the message is clear: roll up a sleeve and help save a life.

2026 Parks Tacoma Bond Would Invest in Modern Wildlife Habitats and Conservation Northwest Trek Wildlife Park

arks Tacoma’s 2026 bond proposal would bring significant new investments to two of the region’s wildlife destinations: Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium in Tacoma and Northwest Trek Wildlife Park in Eatonville. The proposed upgrades would focus on modernizing key habitats, enhancing guest experiences, and expanding opportunities for conservation work, while building on decades of care and connection with the community. If approved by voters on April 28, the bond would support the creation of fresh, dynamic spaces designed to serve both animals and guests for generations to come. “This bond allows us to build the next generation of habitats for animals and guests alike,” said Alan Varsik, Director of Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium and Northwest Trek Wildlife Park. “While our current spaces have served the community well, this investment would give us the opportunity to create updated environments where penguins, beavers, and other species can thrive, expand our conservation impact, and offer immersive experiences that inspire a deeper connection with wildlife for years to come.” A NEW CENTRAL HUB AND PENGUIN HABITAT AT POINT DEFIANCE ZOO & AQUARIUM At Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, bond funding would replace the zoo’s current penguin habitat with an entirely new, expanded experience designed to become a

• A redesigned pathway leading to the habitat with a low slope, ADA-accessible route, making it easier for guests of all abilities to reach the penguins and access nearby exhibit areas and amenities, including new, conveniently located accessible restrooms near the zoo’s central hub.

welcoming hub and focal point for guests. The existing penguin habitat, originally designed as a temporary space in 1989, has served the zoo far longer than intended. The bond would allow the zoo to undertake a substantial demolition of the former North Pacific Aquarium building (excluding the restored Tropical Seas Aquarium, which will remain). This new habitat and its associated guest amenities would combine interactive exhibits and engaging programs to connect zoo guests with the stories of temperate penguins. The design prioritizes the well-being of both penguins and people, creating welcoming spaces where guests of all ages and abilities can discover how deeply our lives depend on healthy oceans. It is intended for guests to be inspired to take meaningful actions to care for and protect oceans, both locally in the Puget Sound and around the world.

By replacing the former North Pacific Aquarium building and the current penguin habitat, the zoo would create: • A significantly larger penguin habitat featuring diverse environmental elements designed to support a thriving and growing colony of temperate penguins. • Multiple up-close and accessible viewing areas where guests can observe and connect with penguins throughout the year, including sheltered underwater viewing for an immersive look at penguins in motion. • Dedicated viewing spaces for penguin nesting and specialty care, offering opportunities for guests to learn directly from penguin caretakers. • Improved behindthe-scenes facilities to enhance animal healthcare and support new public programs and learning opportunities.

RENEWING A LEGACY HABITAT AT NORTHWEST TREK WILDLIFE PARK At Northwest Trek Wildlife Park, bond funding would replace the wildlife park’s original beaver habitat, which opened with the park in 1975. The new development would reflect modern zoological standards and Northwest Trek’s commitment to animal wellbeing and conservation. The updated habitat would also feature designated viewing areas where guests could observe and learn directly from beaver caretakers during certain animal care activities, creating new opportunities for education and engagement. The new habitat would continue to be a home for beavers while also providing space for rare western pond turtles, endangered in Washington, and supporting hands-on conservation work. Improved behind-the-scenes facilities would enhance animal healthcare and allow the park to introduce new public programs and learning opportunities. Together, these updates would allow Northwest Trek to expand its role in regional species preservation and education, connecting guests more deeply with the wildlife of the Pacific Northwest. ABOUT THE 2026 PARKS TACOMA BOND The bond – which would not raise the current tax rate property owners already pay for parks – would invest in neighborhood parks, keep parks open and safe, create community gathering spaces, enhance sports and active lifestyles, and help people connect with nature and wildlife. If approved by voters in a special election April 28, the bond would generate up to $155 million for more than 100 projects in at least 40 parks, community centers and zoos across Tacoma. The projects would all be started within the next six to eight years. Learn more about the bond proposal 2026 Park Bond – Parks Tacoma: https://www.parkstacoma. gov/april-2026-election/

SNOWPACK, FROM 1 These decisions can ripple outward, affecting local economies, seasonal employment, and food supply. Even in areas where farming is not the primary industry, drought conditions can influence landscaping, small-scale agriculture, and property maintenance, particularly for residents managing larger parcels of land. ENVIRONMENTAL AND WILDFIRE RISKS Lower snowpack also affects the natural environment. Streams and rivers that depend on snowmelt may run lower and warmer, placing stress on fish and wildlife. Reduced water levels can also impact water quality and habitat conditions. At the same time, dry conditions increase the risk of wildfires. Earlier snowmelt combined with prolonged dry weather can leave vegetation more susceptible to ignition, raising concerns as the region moves into peak fire season. WHY THIS MATTERS LONG-TERM State officials note that this is part of a broader

pattern. Warmer winters are reducing snow accumulation, meaning less water is stored for use later in the year. Even when precipitation levels appear normal, more of it is falling as rain rather than snow, which runs off quickly instead of being held in mountain snowpack. This shift makes water supply less predictable and increases the importance of long-term planning and conservation. WHAT RESIDENTS CAN DO While the full impact of this year’s drought will depend on weather conditions in the coming months, officials are encouraging residents to be mindful of water use. Simple steps-such as limiting outdoor watering, fixing leaks, and using water-efficient appliancescan help reduce strain on local systems. For both urban and rural communities, the drought declaration serves as an early warning: water may not be as abundant this year, and small actions now can help prevent larger challenges later.

LEGACY, FROM 1 Like all the events of the four-day celebration, the presentation is free, and those attending at this popular venue are welcome to purchase food and drinks from the menu at Mill Haus to enjoy as they soak in local history, in front of the fire. The Family Agency, already hosting a tradition of free, monthly community dinners at the Eatonville Community Center, is a natural fit for this collaborative effort. At the Friday, April 24th dinner, attendees will share a dining experience involving early settler folklore stories and pioneer games, led by Aaron Pruitt.

Walkers will be able to travel the self-guided tour at their own pace, and will also be among the first public viewers of the newly-unveiled commemorative sign at the corner of Mashell Avenue and Center Street On Saturday the 25th, celebrants can drive down the Mountain Highway into the beautiful Ohop Valley to visit the Pioneer Farm Museum and Ohop Indian Village, for a free day of pioneer crafts, and a stroll through the authentic cabins and outbuildings, engaging with docents in period dress, for the 2026 edition of the museum’s annual alalal (Community) Day. On Sunday, April 26, at 1:00 pm, come to the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Visitor’s Center, inaugurating the new Historical Walking Tour of

Eatonville’s first main street, Mashell Avenue. The walk is titled: “In the Foothills of Tahoma, A Community Grows.” The tour includes eight stops and explores the varied influences in the town’s growth – the Indigenous culture, the vast forests, the railroad, the early pioneer settlers, the Eatonville Lumber Company Sawmill with its Japanese American millworkers, and the draw to explorers and tourists of majestic Mount Tahoma (Rainier), still enthralling visitors today. The stops illustrate the contributions of the first business owners, encouraged and enabled by town founder Thomas Cobb (T.C.) Van Eaton, in the fields of education, medicine, banking, the burgeoning automobile industry, entertainment, the downtown department store, and community service. Walkers will be able to travel the self-guided tour at their own pace, and will also be among the first public viewers of the newly-unveiled commemorative sign at the corner of Mashell Avenue and Center Street, honoring the valor of one of its early first responders, Marshal Dolar LaPlant. In September, 1925, when the town was being terrorized by a crazed shooter in a drunken, vengeful rage, LaPlant responded. The shooter fired at the marshal, inflicting a mortal wound. But before seeking medical help, LaPlant managed to neutralize the shooter and end the threat to the townfolk. For that courageous act, he was posthumously awarded the Law Enforcement Medal of Honor. With pride and gratitude, we’ll celebrate our community’s unique story. For more info: Bob Walter, 253-988-0904.

Cruisers Bounce Back Behind Tozier’s Six-RBI Night By Skip Smith

HEATHER QUIRIE

t was a tale of two games for the Eatonville Cruisers fastpitch team this past week, as they bounced back from a lopsided loss with an explosive offensive showing to split their contests against Fife and Franklin Pierce. Eatonville entered the week looking to build momentum from the previous stretch, but ran into a buzz saw on Tuesday, falling 18-2 to Fife in a game that quickly got out of hand. Fife struck first in the opening inning and then broke things open in the third, capitalizing on control issues to plate nine runs despite recording just three hits in the frame. A string of walks and hit batters proved costly for the Cruisers, who struggled to slow the Trojans’ momentum. Eatonville starter Josie Lavergne worked 2 2/3 innings in the circle, allowing nine runs on four hits while striking out one and walking six. Fife added eight more runs in the fifth inning, using a mix of timely hitting and continued pressure to extend the lead. Despite the scoreline, Eatonville showed some positives. Lucy Allen paced the offense from the bottom of the lineup, going 2 for 2, while Amy Tozier and Ryleigh Chopic each drove in a run. The Cruisers also played clean defense, turning a double play and committing no errors, with Chopic leading the way defensively. The quick turnaround proved beneficial. Just a day later, Eatonville responded with one of its most complete offensive performances of the season, outlasting Franklin Pierce 17-12 in a high-scoring affair. The Cardinals grabbed an early 1-0 lead in the first inning, but Eatonville answered immediately. The Cruisers erupted for five runs in the bottom half, highlighted by a two-run double from Amy Tozier that set the tone. Eatonville continued to apply pressure in the third before delivering the decisive blow in the fourth inning, erupting for eight runs on five hits. Morgan Laird delivered a key two-run double, Brooklynn Sullivan drove in two more, and Lilah Chapman added an RBI single. Tozier capped the inning with a bases-loaded single that brought home three runs. Franklin Pierce mounted a furious

Tozier led the charge with a dominant performancee, driving in six runs on three hits, including a two-run double and two clutch singles. Aubree Mills added three hits, while Laird, Chapman, Kaitlyn Kenney, and Lavergne each contributed multiple hits as part of a 15-hit attack.

Eatonville also showcased an aggressive approach on the base paths, swiping 23 bases and drawing 13 walks to keep constant pressure on the defense. Chapman, Tozier, Mills, Kenney, Laird, Chopic, and Allen all recorded multiple stolen bases. Lavergne went the distance in the circle, striking out eight over seven innings to earn the win. Defensively, Eatonville remained steady

once again, finishing the game without an error. Chopic anchored the effort, recording a team-high 10 chances. With the split, the Cruisers showed both the challenges and potential of a squad capable of bouncing back quickly. Eatonville will look to carry that momentum into the coming week as it hosts Steilacoom before traveling to Clover Park, a team the Cruisers defeated 16-1 earlier this season.

Trojans Snap Cruisers Four-Game Win Streak By Skip Smith

he Eatonville Cruiser baseball team entered the week riding the momentum of a four-game winning streak, but that run came to an abrupt halt as Fife controlled both games of a twogame series, handing the Cruisers losses of 12-1 on Monday and 13-7 on Tuesday.

Monday’s game started with promise for Eatonville, which scratched across a run in the top of the first inning to take an early lead. The advantage was shortlived, as Fife answered in the bottom half to even the score at 1-1. For two innings, the game remained within reach before turning sharply in the third. Fife capitalized on a mix of timely

hitting and control issues from the Cruisers’ pitching staff, erupting for nine runs on five hits in the inning. The sudden outburst transformed a tight contest into a 10-1 deficit and left Eatonville trying to regroup. Ben Smith took the loss on the mound, working three innings while allowing 11 runs, six of them earned, on seven hits. He struck

HEATHER QUIRIE

Eatonville catcher Santiago Ruvalcaba, shown here in a game earlier in the season against Lakes, drove in three runs in Tuesday’s game against Fife and supplied the biggest contribution from the middle of the lineup, accounting for a significant portion of the team’s scoring. In a week where hits were limited and the offense struggled at times, his ability to produce runs stands out.

out two and walked four. Despite the rough inning, Eatonville’s defense continued to battle, but the early damage proved too significant to overcome. Offensively, the Cruisers struggled to generate momentum throughout the game, finishing with just two hits. Colton Herbrand and Ryder Herbrand each recorded a hit, but Eatonville was unable to string together enough baserunners to mount a response. Looking to bounce back Tuesday, the Cruisers instead found themselves in another early hole. Fife struck quickly in the first inning, using a combination of hits and walks to push across multiple runs and seize control. The visitors added two more runs in the second inning and another in the third, building an 8-1 lead and once again putting Eatonville in comeback mode. Unlike the opener, the Cruisers showed increased fight at the plate in the second game. Demonstrating patience and discipline, Eatonville worked deep counts and drew nine walks, consistently putting runners aboard and creating scoring opportunities. That persistence paid off as the Cruisers chipped away at the deficit. Santiago Ruvalcaba delivered the biggest swing of the day for Eatonville, driving in three runs from the heart of the lineup. He finished 1 for 3 and provided a steady presence offensively as the Cruisers attempted to rally.

Coleson Simpson, Scout Horan and Ryder Herbrand each contributed a hit, helping keep innings alive. Waylon Berg played a key role in setting the table, drawing three walks and reaching base multiple times as part of Eatonville’s patient approach. On the mound, the Cruisers used multiple arms to try to slow Fife’s offense. Ryder Herbrand took the loss after a difficult start, allowing five runs in two-thirds of an inning. Colton Herbrand followed with a solid effort in relief, working four and one-third innings while striking out four and helping stabilize the game after the early surge. Eatonville also showed flashes defensively, turning a double play to halt one Fife threat, but the early deficit once again proved too much to overcome. Despite the pair of losses, the week was not without positives. The Cruisers continued to show an ability to compete offensively, particularly in the second game, and demonstrated improved plate discipline that could pay dividends moving forward. Now looking to regroup, Eatonville will aim to reset and rediscover the form that fueled its four-game winning streak. The Cruisers return to action with a two-game set against Steilacoom, hosting the Sentinels on Tuesday before traveling for the series finale the following day, with hopes of getting back into the win column.
