Labor Day doubleheader at Cheney Stadium
By The Tacoma Weekly
On Monday, Sept. 1, Labor Day in Tacoma will be celebrated with a free Labor Day Festival at Cheney Stadium, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Again this year, the Tacoma Buffalo Soldiers Museum is bringing this event paying tribute to our active duty and retired military and civilian labor force that continue to be foundations of strength and pride for America.
“Honoring the past and embracing the future has been our annual theme and, of course, honoring our military which is the highest employer in Pierce County,” said Jackie JonesHook, Executive Director of the Buffalo Soldiers Museum-Tacoma. “We have the whole community building aspect and quality of life, providing a free event for families who want to have an outing but can’t really afford to go other places.”
The festival presents an opportunity to spend Labor Day in a meaningful way while also having a lot of fun. For the kids, there will be games, face painting, free back to school haircuts, a bubble station, inflatables, and Old McDebbie’s Train rides. The R&N Mobile Game Truck will be there, and Glitterbuggie Entertainment will bring children’s entertainment with clowns, face painting, glitter tattoos and balloon creations.
Many tasty food vendors will be on site: Turger Burger, Tin Hut BBQ, Kona Ice, Big Dawg’s Hot Dogs, Sassy Squeezers Lemonade, 321 Ice Cream Parlor, El Koreano, Short Cake Bar, and Taste of Memphis BBQ.
Vendors include Dupree Seasonings, Distinctively U, Wear It & Shine, Blessings and Things, Merle the Art Lady, Purses Unlimited LLC, Henna by Nour, DL Fowler Novels, Demarciano Clothing, and 3d Prints & Crafts. Organizations will have a presence as well: Buffalo Soldiers Museum, Red Tailed Hawks Flight Club, Washington State Department of Veteran Affairs, KBTC–PBS Kids, Rainier Scholars, The Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County, and Aetna.
Listen to the sounds of DJ Adams spinning hit records with R&B, rock and country, and have a photo taken at the photo booth as you dance to the music. Enjoy an educational exhibit by the DuPont Historical Society presenting Tacoma baseball down through the years going back to some of the Native American tribe teams, World War I and World War II baseball teams and other groups.
All these attractions will be stationed in the Cheney Stadium parking lot. Inside the stadium and on the field, the highlight of the day will be two exciting volunteer softball games kicked off with the first pitch by Col. Erin Miller. Miller is with I CORPS, also known as America’s First Corps, based at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
I CORPS is a major operational-level U.S. Army headquarters assigned to U.S. Indo-Pacific Command and serves as the Army’s primary operational command for the Indo-Pacific region, playing a crucial role in maintaining a persistent presence and conducting exercises throughout the Indo-Pacific area.
The first game starts at noon and features Army vs. Air Force teams
representing the historic baseball teams of the 25th Infantry and the Red Tail Hawks. The second game starts 2 p.m. and features labor union teams Tacoma Longshoremen vs. Tacoma Firefighters.
“They are all volunteering,” JonesHook said. “The Army and Air Force teams are volunteer members as well as the Tacoma Longshoremen and Firefighters. These are volunteer members of their unions who have been playing intramural sports activities to be a part of this community building event.”
This Labor Day Festival carries forth a Tacoma tradition reaching back to 1910 when a military tournament was held in July of that year at what was then the brand-new Tacoma Stadium, now known as Stadium Bowl at Stadium High School. Under the direction of the U.S. War Department and under the auspices of the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce, it featured 2,000 hand-picked servicemembers representing every branch of the military competing for big prize money in “horsemanship, bareback riding, wall scaling, broad-sword contests, artillery and cavalry drills and Roman races,” according to a promotional flyer for the event. Buffalo soldiers were among the participants.
“There was a point in time when the military was really appreciated for all they do for country, which they should be,” Jones-Hook said. “That is the reason why we picked up the ball to do the Labor Day Festival based on military tournament softball games in Pierce County.”
Founded in 2005, Tacoma’s Buffalo Soldiers Museum is one of just two in the country that aren’t located on a military base. Its stated mission at BuffaloSoldiersTacoma.org is “to educate, preserve and present the history and outstanding contributions of America’s Buffalo Soldiers from 18661944, including World War I and II. This includes significant history in Washington State. Buffalo Soldiers Museum is a space that fosters the exchange of historical education, identity and culture, making it a practical link to a stronger community.”
A key aspect of the museum is its dedication to educating young students on the history of the brave Buffalo Soldiers. Despite the racial prejudice and discrimination they faced as Black men in America during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these Army soldiers served their country protecting settlers, building roads and infrastructure, guarding mail
routes, and serving as some of the first park rangers in national parks like Yosemite.
While Tacoma schools are in session, tours are given at the museum for students in the 5th, 8th and 11th grade.
“It gives these students the opportunity to come through the museum and reflect on the history of the past – the real struggles of the past versus the struggles of today,” Jones-Hook said. “We talk about the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Emancipation Proclamation and primarily focus on the first three words of the U.S. Constitution, “We the people….”
The students learn historical facts and also get a sense of the personal struggles the Buffalo Soldiers experienced yet did not allow to hold them back from doing great things.
As Jones-Hook explained, “These men were considered the throwaway society and a lot of kids today feel like they’re the throwaway society but still, the Buffalo Soldiers did their job with dignity and integrity to make American great in the hopes of being accepted. They did make some great strides into the system so one of the things we stress in our educational tours is understanding American history and government and how it works.”
Jones-Hook expressed much gratitude for the Labor Day Festival Presenting Sponsors ArtsWA and South Sound Military Communities Partnership (SSMCP); Grand Slam Sponsors ILWU Local 23 – Longshoremen, Tacoma Firefighters, Army Volunteer Team and Air Force Volunteer Team; Home Run Sponsors Tacoma Rainiers, City of Lakewood, and City of Tacoma-Tacoma Creates; and Triple Sponsors Black Future Co-Op Fund, Red Tailed Hawks, DuPont Historical Society and Port of Tacoma.
WATCH: WA ferry riders to pay more this year as ridership continues to lag
By Carleen Johnson The Center Square
Washington state ferry riders will have to dig a little deeper into their wallets later this year.
The Washington State Transportation Commission on Wednesday approved an additional 3% fare increase for vehicle and passenger fares, effective Oct. 1, 2025, and May 1, 2026, to meet the Legislature's $408.8 million revenue target for the 202527 biennium.
The summer peak season surcharge on vehicle fares will rise to 35% on all routes starting May 2026, matching the San Juan Island-Anacortes route rate.
Commission Chair Debbie Young said the rate hikes were necessary, if unpleasant.
“While it’s appropriate for us to enact this because it was directly enacted into law by our Legislature, I just want to say it still doesn’t feel consistent with some of our goals – state goals and commission goals of advancing increased use of transit and reducing our carbon footprint and keeping transit affordable for people who don’t drive…so just wanted to state that,” she said.
Rep. Andrew Barkis, ROlympia, the ranking minority member on the House Transportation Committee, was critical of the price hikes.
“It’s another cost passed down to the consumer for the ever-increasing cost of doing anything in Washington state,” he told The Center Square on Thursday.
The commission approved the 3% increase after proposing a smaller 2.5% hike in June.
“I'm not surprised that the increase was greater than what was originally anticipated,” Barkis said. “Until we start taking a hard look at the policies, the regulations, and all the other things driving these costs up in the state of Washington, this is going to be a common theme.”
Aaron Halbert, WSTC financial analyst, told commission members that ridership numbers are improving but still far below pre-pandemic levels.
“Looking ahead to 20252027, WSF is estimating about 40.6 million riders, which would be about a 2.3 million rider improvement from the [previous] biennium,” he said.
Young asked when WSF expects to return to 2019 ridership levels.
“We’re still on an upward trajectory to reach that; however, there’s been a lot of
impacts from ridership behavior,” WSF Acting Deputy Director of Finance and Administration Siri Olson replied. “There’s a lot more remote workers; people aren’t traveling [nearly] as much to work, so there’s just a lot of ridership behavior that has changed.”
Another commission member noted that 23.4 million people rode Washington ferries in 2019.
“So we’re out to 2035 before we get to that?” asked Young about a graph shown by presenters depicting a very slow increase in ridership over the next 10 years, even as WSF returns to full operation with vessels coming back into service.
“People see the ferries as a tourist destination or something that you go and enjoy an afternoon, and ride across the beautiful Puget Sound. But what people have to remember is that it is a highway system. It is part of the state highway system, and there are people [who] every day rely on that ferry to get to and from the islands and back,” noted.
The current fare for a round-trip ride between Seattle and Bainbridge Island for a passenger car is $36.40. That rate goes up more than a dollar on Oct 1 with the increase and another $1.12 on May 1, 2026.
A round-trip ferry ride from Anacortes to Friday Harbor costs $64.35 for a passenger car. The 3% increase will increase the price by another $1.93 as of Oct. 1 and climb another $1.99 on May 1, 2026.
“My goal and hope is that we have a larger conversation between the Legislature, the executive branch, and also the Department of Transportation ferries division, to really look at where we're going with this,” Barkis said. “It's time to have kind of a reset in my opinion and to move away from what [former] Gov. [Jay] Inslee horrifically put us on course with for decisions to electrify the fleet.”
The commission also voted to repeal toll exemptions for publicly and privately operated transit buses, vans, and rideshare vehicles on tolled bridges, in accordance with a legislative mandate. The toll exemption for transit will go into effect on Oct. 1 and apply only to the State Route 520 bridge and the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Current toll exemptions offered to transit vehicles on the Express Toll Lane system and the State Route 99 tunnel will remain in effect.
The Tacoma Longshoremen (shown here) will face off against the Tacoma Firefighters team.
Two exciting volunteer softball games kicked off with the first pitch by Col. Erin Miller.
