‘Stronger Than We Look’: Eatonville Wrestler Shines on National Stage at Elementary National Duals
Community Mourns Graham Man Killed in Collision Involving Eatonville School Bus

Jezlynn “Chicky” Battles lets the hardware do the talking. The Weyerhaeuser Elementary fifth grader earned two fourthplace medals — one in freestyle, one in Greco-Roman — competing for Team Washington at the Freeco USA Elementary National Duals in Elkhorn, Nebraska, last weekend.
ezlynn “Chicky” Battles has been chasing opponents across the mat since she was 6 years old. Last weekend, the Weyerhaeuser Elementary fifth-grader was chasing something bigger - a spot on the national stage. And she earned every bit of it. Battles, 11, represented Washington State as part of Team Washington at the Freeco USA Elementary National Duals, one of the premier youth wrestling tournaments in the country. The event, held June 5-7 at the Union Bank and Trust Sports Complex in Elkhorn, Nebraska, draws state and club teams from across the nation and features both freestyle and Greco-Roman competition for grade-schoolers from first through sixth grade. The invitation to join Team Washington came in March, and for Battles, it stopped her in her tracks.

What a Missing $150 Million Means for Domestic Violence Services By Jasmine Mithani and Mariel Padilla The 19th
O
ur Sister’s House used to staff a 24-hour hotline. No matter what time of day a domestic violence survivor called for help, an advocate would be able to help them stay safe. But then a lack of funding meant that hours and staff had to be reduced. Now if someone calls for help overnight or on the weekend, no one picks up the phone. The organization has been focused on helping Black survivors of gender-based violence for 30 years. But now
many critical services it has provided in Pierce County, Washington - which has one of the highest rates of domestic violence in the state - have been pared back due to delays in federal grant funds. Our Sister’s House is waiting to hear back about an application for money that should have been distributed by October 1 - eight months ago. The lapse comes as the Department of Justice’s Office on Violence Against Women withholds $150 million in taxpayer dollars meant to be distributed in fiscal 2025 to help survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking and trafficking. The 19th reached out to over 250 organizations and municipalities that had previously received funding from the Office on Violence Against Women to ask how the delay in fiscal 2025 funds and the stalling of fiscal 2026 grant applications

Graham man was killed and an Eatonville Middle School student was taken to the hospital after a June 11 collision involving an Eatonville School District bus. According to Central Pierce Fire & Rescue, crews responded to the collision in Graham. Fire officials said 35 students were on the bus at the time. One student was transported to a local hospital with injuries described as minor, and all other students were evaluated at the scene. The driver of the other vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene. The students were Eatonville Middle School eighth graders returning from a field trip celebrating their upcoming middle school graduation. The district said staff responded immediately and worked closely with emergency responders to ensure the safety and care of students at the scene. All students involved were later safely reunited with their families. Counseling support was made available at the school the following day for students, families and staff who needed help processing the incident. The collision has deeply affected the Eatonville school community, where students witnessed a fatal incident on what should have been a celebratory end-ofyear trip. According to information released by the Washington State Patrol, the collision occurred around 4:30 p.m. Thursday near milepost 18 on SR 161, near Eustis Hunt Road and the Frontier Park exit in Graham. The other vehicle was identified as a 2007 Ford Explorer. WSP detectives were continuing their mechanical and reconstruction investigation to determine the exact sequence of events. Drugs and alcohol were not believed to be factors. The collision has also prompted an outpouring of grief and support for the family of the victim. Community members have mourned Frankie, the victim’s 5-year-old dog, who also died. Daisy, another dog that was in the vehicle, survived and is home recovering. A vigil organizer who has been in contact with the victim’s widow said she is aware of the community support and is thankful to those who helped after the collision. Organizers of the 253 Night Market have announced that two upcoming night markets will be held in the victim’s honor. The first event is scheduled for 4 to 9 p.m. July 2 at Glacier View Park in Eatonville. The second is scheduled for 4 to 9 p.m. July 9 at Frontier Park. The victim’s widow is anticipated at both events. Donations will be collected both nights, and a candlelight vigil is planned for 8:30 p.m. at each event in honor of the victim and Frankie. The Eatonville School District thanked first responders, law enforcement officers, fire and rescue personnel, emergency medical teams and district staff who responded to the collision. The community continues to await additional information as investigators work to determine what led to the collision. According to WSP, troopers generally have up to four weeks to complete an initial collision report, though the broader investigation will likely continue longer.
“I was so surprised and shocked,” she said. “My goal was to be able to travel with my wrestling when I got older, but I made it before I even reached middle school.” She was selected to compete at 145 pounds, a call that made sense to anyone who has watched her compete. Her folkstyle résumé already includes a district championship, a runner-up finish at the league championships and a third-place finish at state. She is a regular placer and champion on the local tournament circuit, the kind of competitor that coaches notice. But the Freeco Duals would test her in ways she had never faced before. Unlike traditional individual bracket tournaments, the Freeco Duals uses a team format, with wrestlers competing head-to-head in dual meets. Every match carries weight not just for the individual,
has impacted them. The 48 that responded shared stories of layoffs, diminished services for survivors and sacrifices among advocates, who have
taken voluntary pay cuts to make sure survivors get the life-saving support they need.

Original Medicare and Medigap plans generally do not cover routine eye exams or eyeglasses, except after cataract surgery, when Part B helps pay for corrective lenses. But many Medicare Advantage plans, also called Part C, do include vision benefits. These plans, offered by private insurers, must cover everything original Medicare does and often include extras like dental, hearing and prescription drug coverage. That said, I would not choose a Medicare Advantage plan just for vision coverage alone, but it is worth understanding what is available. To compare plans in your area, visit medicare.gov/ plan-compare or call 800-633-4227. Be sure to check the details to confirm coverage for routine eye exams, frames and lenses. You can also buy a stand-alone vision insurance plan. Major carriers like Humana, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna and UnitedHealthcare, along with specialty providers like VSP and EyeMed, offer plans with premiums typically ranging from about $10 to $30 per month. Before enrolling, compare the costs and benefits to make sure the savings on exams and glasses outweigh the premiums and copays.

Dear Nancy, ou’re wise to plan ahead. Eyeglasses can be expensive. A basic pair often runs $150 to $300, and bifocals or progressive lenses can easily double or triple that. The good news is that with a few strategies, you can keep costs manageable once you retire and transition to Medicare. MEDICARE & INSURANCE

DISCOUNT STORES
Buying glasses from discount retailers can save you a substantial amount. Warehouse clubs like Costco Optical and Sam’s Club Optical offer eye exams typically ranging from $80 to $130 depending on location, with basic prescription glasses starting around $120.
You will need a membership, but the savings can often justify the cost. Other good options include Walmart Vision Center, Target Optical and independent optical shops. Prices vary, so it pays to shop around and ask about package deals or seasonal promotions. An AARP membership can also provide discounts at retailers like LensCrafters, Target Optical and Visionworks. BUY ONLINE
Ordering glasses online is another excellent way to save, often cutting costs significantly compared to traditional retailers. Reputable sites like Warby Parker, EyeBuyDirect and GlassesUSA offer single vision glasses starting around $70, with progressive lenses typically ranging from $120 to $200 depending on features. You will need a current prescription and your pupillary distance, which may be included on your prescription or can be measured by your provider or even at home. Many online retailers offer virtual try on tools so you can see how frames will look before you buy. Also pay attention to lens options such as anti-reflective coating, scratch resistant coating and blue light filtering. For most people, a basic pair with durable coatings is usually sufficient. LOW-INCOME ASSISTANCE
If your income is limited, local clinics may offer free or reduced cost eye exams and eyeglasses. Your local Lions Club is another excellent resource. Many chapters sponsor vision programs or can direct you to nearby services. You can find your local club at lionsclubs.org/en/ start-our-approach/club-locator. The nonprofit New Eyes also provides eyeglasses through a voucher program for people in financial need, working with participating providers to supply frames and lenses at little or no cost. With a little planning, you can keep your vision sharp without overspending. Between Medicare options, discount retailers, online shopping and community programs, there are plenty of ways to find quality eyeglasses at a price you can afford.

$150 MILLION, FROM 1 The vast majority of organizations did not want to speak on the record for fear of retaliation from the administration. The Office on Violence Against Women has distributed $50 million in grants since The 19th reported April 9 that over $200 million in 2025 appropriations had yet to be disbursed. But $150 million is still unaccounted for. Gender-based violence service organizations across the country report radio silence on the status of applications, some submitted over a year ago. Applications for grant programs that are supposed to distribute funds by October 1, 2026, have not yet been released. Funding for most grants offered through the Office on Violence Against Women isn’t guaranteed, but organizations should at least hear back about the status of their application by the end of the fiscal year. This funding has become even more critical as other major sources, like the Crime Victims Fund established by the Victims of Crime Act, have steadily shrunk over the past decade. The Department of Justice has resisted inquiries from Congress, which appropriates the funds for the department to distribute, about the missing money. On March 6, the leaders of the House Bipartisan Working Group on Domestic Violence sent a letter to the office of Todd Blanche - then the deputy attorney general, now the acting attorney general - urging the release of these funds. They have yet to receive a response. “The Trump administration is breaking the law by refusing to disperse funds approved by Congress,” Rep. Gwen Moore, a Wisconsin Democrat, said in a statement. “We know this isn’t the first time but it needs to be the last time. This funding isn’t optional, it’s lifesaving, and I will keep pushing until every penny reaches survivors.” Senators across the aisle pressed Blanche on domestic violence funding cuts during a hearing on May 19. When Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, a Democrat from New Hampshire, asked directly about missing fiscal 2025 funds and fiscal 2026 grant applications, the acting attorney general said
WRESTLER, FROM 1 but for the entire squad. Battles competed across both freestyle and Greco-Roman, going 7-7 overall against teams from Ohio, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, Arkansas, New York and Iowa, a who’s who of wrestling-rich states. It was her first time competing on a national team. It was also her first time ever stepping on the mat in Greco-Roman style. She didn’t flinch. Greco-Roman wrestling differs significantly from the folkstyle competition Battles had built her reputation in. The style eliminates leg attacks and emphasizes upper-body control and throws, demanding a different kind of strength, technique and instinct. For most wrestlers, a first Greco experience comes with a steep learning curve. For Battles, it came with enthusiasm. “I really liked Greco practices, so I was excited,” she said. That excitement showed. In Greco-Roman competition, Battles was aggressive and assertive from the

applications are coming out on a “rolling basis” and “we’re working every day very hard to get that money out.” Meanwhile, organizations have been forced to suspend programs and lay off staff. Our Sister’s House provides services for Black survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and teen dating violence in addition to running programs for court-involved youth. Like all culturally specific service providers, Our Sister’s House is open to everyone, but tailored to the needs of a specific community. “Our advocates do this work because they’ve been in these shoes, and they know what it feels like, and they know what is needed.
Being able to come and sit down with another Black woman who has been through similar experiences, we can help them heal, and that is a lot of what we are,” said Kelli Robinson, the executive director. She is still waiting to hear about the status of two grant applications she submitted last year. The deadline was July 29; the Office on Violence Against Women hasn’t reported any awardees for that program. When employees leave for jobs that can offer basic benefits like a cost of living adjustment, Robinson said, those positions are eliminated because there isn’t money to hire someone else. She has gone without pay herself. “We can’t see as many people,” she said. “Clients call, but we can’t respond right away anymore.” Our Sister’s House coordinates with local teams to assist survivors at immediate risk of death. But it can’t afford hotel rooms anymore, so Robinson has asked the local YWCA to hold a shelter bed in case of a high-risk situation. But there are limitations on who the Y can accept: It doesn’t allow pets or boys over 12. Robinson is doing everything in her power to still support the Black survivors who need help. She has been leveraging her
personal network to find places for survivors to stay, coordinating with local clergy and law enforcement. Advocates, including the National Network to End Domestic Violence, have been encouraging the public to pressure lawmakers for answers about the missing millions. In the final hours of April, National Sexual Violence Awareness Month, advocate Stacy Malone helped organize a petition demanding the release of the stalled funds; over 80 organizations and 200 individuals signed on. Malone is the executive director of the Victim Rights Law Center, which provides civil legal support to sexual assault survivors in Massachusetts. The group is also a resource for lawyers working with young survivors nationwide, specializing in offering guidance on how to support victims who are still in school. The Victim Rights Law Center’s grant ends September 30. The organization hopes to submit a new application for funds - but the funding opportunity hasn’t been released yet. This delay means the future of a national training and technical assistance program is up in the air. “I know it’s hard for some people to imagine that a 12-yearold needs their own lawyer, but if they’ve been sexually assaulted by a classmate, and they want to stay safely in school, they need someone to advocate for them,” she said. The Victim Rights Law Center has fielded at least 65 requests for help from attorneys representing children this year. Over 600 attorneys are registered for next month’s training on how disability accommodationsw can support K-12 student survivors. Malone has already had to lay off two staff members. If money runs out by September 30, the Victim Rights Law Center will likely have to sunset the support for lawyers working with K-12 students entirely. Without the center to support them, Malone said, many lawyers will refuse to take complicated sexual assault cases involving minors. Domestic violence services remain operational throughout the country. Confidential, anonymous help is available 24/7 through the National Domestic Violence Hotline at (1-800-799-7233) or online.
opening whistle, setting the pace and imposing her will on opponents who may have underestimated the fifthgrader from Washington State. In freestyle, Battles delivered what may have been the single most important moment of the tournament for Team WA. With the squad trailing in points heading into the final round robin match, the outcome and the team’s bracket placement came down to her. Win and the girls advance to the Gold bracket undefeated. Lose, and the opportunity slips away. It was a fast-paced, back-and-forth match that had everything on the line. “I felt excited and nervous before the match,” Battles said. “But I didn’t know exactly how much it meant to my team until after the match. Then I was just proud.” She had reason to be. In the closing seconds, Battles secured the pin, sending Team Washington’s girls into the Gold bracket undefeated and delivering the kind of clutch performance that defines competitors far older than 11. The foundation for moments like that was built years ago, and it starts with the Cruiser Wrestling Club,
where Battles has trained since she was 6 years old. Coach Zach Trujillo has been there throughout, helping develop a wrestler who now competes on the national stage before she has ever set foot in a middle school hallway. Battles said what keeps her coming back to the sport is the sport itself — the endless variety, the constant growth. “My favorite part about wrestling is learning the different styles,” she said. Five years in, she has already mastered more styles than most wrestlers twice her age and last weekend, she added Greco-Roman to that list on the national stage. The goals ahead are big. The dreams are bigger. And after a weekend competing against the best elementary-age wrestlers the country has to offer, Battles has a message for anyone who might overlook a girl on the mat. “You can never judge a book by its cover,” she said. “And most of us are stronger than we look.”
Our Sister’s House coordinates with local teams to assist survivors at immediate risk of death.

Pierce County Invests $300K to Expand Health Department’s Work to Distribute Firearm Lockboxes
Funds will be used to buy 1,500 biometric lockboxes for free distribution, outreach and education efforts countywide Pierce County
P
ierce County Executive Ryan Mello announced that the county is investing $300,000 to expand Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department’s firearm lockbox distribution and education work. Mello made the announcement during a press event at the Eastside Family Resource Center during Gun Violence Awareness Month. The Health Department will use the funds to buy 1,500 biometric lockboxes and distribute to residents for free at its Family Resource Centers, and at community events throughout Pierce County. The Department will also provide education to people around the county about gun violence prevention
“The funeral experience had become so repetitive that I became numb to death as the result of a firearm.” and the benefits of lockbox use. For more information about this program and how to sign up for a lockbox, visit tpchd.org/ lockboxinfo. Mello was joined by Director of Health Chantell Harmon Reed, Tacoma Police Chief Patti Jackson and Shalisa Hayes, executive director of the Billy Ray Shirley III Foundation and board president for the Alliance for Gun Responsibility. The idea for expanded funding for the program grew out of a roundtable hosted last year by the Executive’s Office. That event focused on youth violence prevention. “Safe and secure gun storage saves lives and keeps your firearm from ending up in the wrong hands,” Executive Mello said. “Lockboxes allow quick access when you need to protect yourself or your family while also protecting our community. Every injury and death from gun violence is preventable. This public health program is already doing
Ryan Mello hands out lockboxes effective prevention work, and this new funding helps us meet people where they are to get even more lockboxes to responsible gun owners. We urge everyone with a firearm to take advantage of this program to make Pierce County safer.” “A properly secured firearm is far less likely to be used in a preventable tragedy,” said Chantell Harmon Reed, Director of Public Health at Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department. “We are thankful for Executive Mello and Pierce County’s commitment to help us prevent future firearm tragedies.”

During the event, Hayes shared her personal experience with gun violence. “As a teenager, I lost so many friends to gun violence that by the time I was an adult I made the conscious decision to stop going to funerals. The number was just too high,” Hayes said. “The funeral experience had become so repetitive that I became numb to death as the result of a firearm.” Then, in 2011, Hayes lost her son Billy Ray Shirley III to gun violence. “Imagine the thoughts, the fear, the grief I experienced when I was forced to plan the very thing I had began to avoid.” Hayes stressed that we can all do more to protect children and families from gun violence, starting with initiatives like the lockbox program. “I am not anti-gun, I am pro-gun safety,” Hayes said. “Multiple people in Billy Ray’s village, the people that helped me raise him, are [serving] or have served in the military. So we are a family full of gun owners. But we are also a family that believes in personal responsibility and gun safety.” “When a lawfully owned gun falls outside of the control of its owner — whether that’s through theft, loss, or unauthorized access — the effects reach well beyond the original intent. This is especially true when guns are stolen,” Tacoma Police Chief Patti Jackson said during today’s event. “Last year, approximately 300 firearms were reported stolen in Tacoma alone. More than 125 of those firearms were stolen from vehicles. Those numbers highlight why secure storage remains such an important part of this conversation.” “In Pierce County, guns are the leading means of suicide among adults and the second leading means among adolescents,” said Dr. Lucas McIntyre, Medical Director of Intensive Outpatient Psychiatry at MultiCare Health System. “We see firsthand how secure firearm storage can save lives. When firearms are locked and inaccessible, the risk of impulsive self harm and accidental injury drops dramatically. This initiative is an important investment in the safety and wellbeing of our community.” Firearms are the second-leading cause of death among 15–34-year-olds in Pierce County, second only to overdoses. Between 2019 and 2023, more than 50 people in Pierce County died from gun violence before their 25th birthday. Properly securing your firearm can help prevent:
• Suicide: In far too many cases, someone in crisis gains access to a family member’s unlocked firearm. • Theft: Hundreds of thousands of guns are stolen from homes and vehicles in the U.S. each year. One study found stolen guns are nine times more likely to be used in a crime. • Accidental death or injury: Children and others can get hurt or die if they have access to an unsecured firearm. • Washington is among 26 states with laws requiring safe gun storage. • An increasing number of Washington gun owners are safely storing their firearms.
A study from UW Medicine last year found that the percentage of adults in Washington who reported storing household firearms securely rose from 34.9 percent to 48.8 percent. However, secure storage did not improve significantly among survey respondents in small towns and rural areas. • Lockboxes are not available for walk-ins at this time, but the Health Department is working to restock the Family Resource Centers. You can learn more about the Health Department’s work to curb gun violence in Pierce County at tpchd.org/ choosepeace.

PSCAA Considers Regional Ban on Residential Yard Waste Burning Staff Report
T
he Puget Sound Clean Air Agency is considering rule changes that would prohibit residential yard waste burning across King, Kitsap, Pierce and Snohomish counties, including rural areas where burning is currently allowed with a valid fire department permit. The proposal is still in the rulemaking process, and current yard waste burning rules remain in effect for now. Formal public comment is expected in fall 2026, but PSCAA is already asking residents to learn about the proposal, attend workshops and share feedback through a survey. Residential yard waste burning generally means outdoor burning of leaves, grass clippings, prunings, sticks, branches and other yard or garden debris by a residential property owner or someone acting on their behalf. Yard waste burning is already prohibited within urban growth areas across the fourcounty region. The proposed change would focus on areas outside urban growth areas, where residential burning is still allowed in some places with a valid burn permit. If adopted, the rule change would mean residential yard waste burning would no longer be allowed anywhere in King, Kitsap, Pierce or Snohomish counties. PSCAA said the review is required under state law. The agency must regularly assess whether residents have reasonable alternatives to outdoor burning, such as curbside yard waste collection, transfer stations, organics facilities, drop-off sites, composting, brush piling or mulching. Based on its review, PSCAA said reasonable alternatives are now available throughout the region. The goal, according to the agency, is to reduce smoke from outdoor burning in order to protect public health and the environment. Smoke from yard waste burning can affect nearby residents, especially children, older adults and people with asthma, heart disease or other health conditions. Even when burning is legal, smoke can drift beyond the property where the fire is taking place. For residents who already live in an urban
growth area, the proposal would not change the rules. Burning residential yard waste, including leaves, clippings and prunings, is already prohibited in those areas. For residents outside urban growth areas, the proposal could represent a significant change in how they manage seasonal yard debris, storm cleanup, pruning waste or other vegetation. PSCAA said it is conducting early outreach to raise awareness and understand what resources residents may need to transition away from burning. That is where the workshops and survey come in. PSCAA is holding virtual pre-rulemaking workshops for residents who want to learn more before the formal public comment period begins. The workshops are intended to explain what the agency is considering, why the rule change is being proposed and how residents can provide input. Upcoming virtual workshops are scheduled for June 17 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. and June 24 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Residents who burn yard waste now, live in rural or unincorporated areas, use fire department burn permits or rely on burning because they do not have convenient disposal options may especially want to participate. The workshops are also an opportunity
for people to ask practical questions about alternatives, enforcement, timing and how the rule would apply to different properties. PSCAA is also asking residents to take a survey. The survey gives people a way to share how they currently manage yard waste, whether they use curbside service, drop-off sites, composting, mulching or burning, and what barriers they may face if burning is no longer allowed. That feedback could be important for rural residents who may have different access to services than people in cities. For example, some households may not have curbside yard waste collection. Others may be far from a transfer station or drop-off location. Some may be managing large branches, storm debris or vegetation from larger parcels. The agency said it wants to understand what resources could help people make the transition to other methods. Those could include better information about drop-off locations, composting options, curbside collection, brush management, mulching or other disposal alternatives. Residents can also sign up for PSCAA’s residential yard waste burning regulatory update email list to receive information as the rulemaking process moves forward.
The rulemaking timeline is still underway. The current phase is early outreach and prerulemaking input. Formal public comment is expected in fall 2026, when residents will have another opportunity to respond to the proposed rule language. In the meantime, residents should continue following existing burning rules. People who are unsure whether yard waste burning is currently allowed where they live can check PSCAA’s map or review the agency’s residential yard waste burning information. The proposed change is part of a broader regional effort to reduce smoke pollution while moving residents toward other ways of handling yard debris. For some households, that may be as simple as using existing curbside service. For others, especially outside urban growth areas, the transition may require more planning. PSCAA is encouraging residents to speak up early, before the final rule is written. The workshops and survey give the public a chance to explain what works, what does not and what support would make the change easier. Current rules remain in place while the process continues.
Passport Warning Offers Reminder: Scams Keep Evolving Staff Report
A
warning from the Pierce County Auditor’s Office about passport scams is a timely reminder that fraud schemes continue to evolve, often by copying the look and language of legitimate government services. The Auditor’s Office said June 11 that it is seeing an uptick in passport customers who have been defrauded by scam websites. These sites often appear in online searches and may look official, but they are designed to collect money and personal information from people trying to apply for or renew a passport. The Federal Trade Commission has issued similar warnings, noting that passport application and renewal forms are free. There are government fees to obtain or expedite a passport, but consumers should not pay a third party for forms or appointments. Paying an outside company to make an appointment also will not make a passport arrive faster. The safest place to start is Travel.State.gov, the official U.S. Department of State passport website. Consumers should avoid passport sites ending in .com or .org that charge for forms, appointments or “passport help” that is already available for free.
The Pierce County Auditor’s Office is a full-service passport acceptance facility, where customers can apply for a passport and have a passport photo taken in one location. Appointments are required. The passport warning is only one example of a larger problem. Modern scams often work because they look routine: a missed toll text, a package delivery notice, a fake bank alert, an unpaid ticket message, a renewal notice or a website that appears near the top of a search result. Many do not
begin with a dramatic story. They begin with a small request to click, verify, pay or update information. Washington Attorney General Nick Brown warned earlier this year about a wave of phishing and imposter scams targeting licensed drivers through text and email messages. The messages often claim the recipient owes money, faces a penalty or must act quickly to avoid a consequence. Those same pressure tactics appear in many scams.
Common warning signs include urgency, threats, payment requests through unusual methods, links to unofficial websites and messages that ask for personal information. Government agencies generally do not demand immediate payment by text message, gift card, cryptocurrency or wire transfer. Scammers also exploit moments when people are already stressed or busy. Travel planning, tax season, licensing renewals, package deliveries and major purchases all create openings for fake notices. The rise of artificial intelligence has made some scams more convincing, allowing fraudsters to produce polished messages, realistic websites and even fake voices faster than before. The best defense is to slow down. Do not click links in unexpected texts or emails. Instead, go directly to the official website by typing the address into a browser. Look for .gov websites for government services. Call a published number from an official agency website, not a number included in a suspicious message. For passport services, that means starting with Travel.State. gov or a verified local acceptance facility, such as the Pierce County Auditor’s Office. For driver licensing, go directly to the Washington Department of Licensing. For
taxes, go to the IRS or Washington Department of Revenue. For banking, use the number on the back of a card or the official bank app. Anyone who realizes they may have paid a scam website or entered personal information should act quickly. Contact the bank or credit card company, change passwords, watch for identity theft and
report the incident to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. Scams succeed when they make people feel rushed, embarrassed or alone. The advice from consumer protection agencies is simple: pause before paying, verify before sharing information and use official sources whenever money or personal documents are involved.
