How to choose and use a home blood pressure monitor
Dear Savvy Senior, Can you offer me any tips on choosing and using a home blood pressure monitor? I just found out I have high blood pressure and my doctor recommended I get a home monitor so I can keep tabs on it.
Just Turned 63
Dear 63, Everyone with high blood pressure (130/80 or higher) should have a home blood pressure monitor. Home monitoring can help you keep tabs on your blood pressure in a comfortable setting. Plus, if you’re taking medication it will make certain it’s working, and alert you to a health problem if it arises.
Here are some top-rated blood pressure monitors to consider along with some tips to help ensure you take an accurate reading.
Best Monitors
The most accurate and easiest to use home blood pressure monitors today are electric/battery powered automatic arm monitors, which are more reliable than wrist or fingertip monitors. With an automatic arm monitor, you simply wrap the cuff around your bicep and with the push of one button the cuff inflates and deflates automatically giving you your blood pressure reading on the display window in a matter of seconds.
Many automatic monitors also come with additional features such as irregular heartbeat
detection that checks for arrhythmias and other abnormalities; a risk category indicator that tells you whether your blood pressure is in the high range; a data-averaging function that allows you to take multiple readings and get an overall average; multiple user memory that allows two or more users to save their readings; and downloadable memory that lets you transmit your data to your smartphone or computer.
The top five automatic arm monitors as recommended by Consumer Reports for 2025 are the Omron Platinum BP5450 ($90), Omron 10 Series BP7450 ($70), Omron Evolv BP7000 ($70), A&D Medical UA767F ($55), and Omron 3 Series BP7100 ($55). And the top wrist monitors are the Omron 7 Series BP6350 ($55) and the Equate (Walmart) 4500 Series ($40).
You can purchase these blood pressure monitors at pharmacies, medical supply stores or online and you don’t need a prescription to buy one. Prices, however, will vary slightly depending on where you buy.
How to Measure
After you buy your monitor, it’s a good idea to take it to your doctor’s office so they can check its accuracy and make sure you’re using it properly. Here are some additional steps to follow to ensure you get accurate measurements at home.
Be still: Don’t exercise, smoke or drink caffeinated
drinks or alcohol for at least 30 minutes before measuring. Empty your bladder and ensure at least 5 minutes of quiet rest before measurements. Sit correctly: Sit with your back straight and supported (on a dining chair, rather than a sofa). Your feet should be flat on the floor and your legs should not be crossed. Your arm should be supported on a flat surface (such as a table) with the upper arm at heart level. Make sure the middle of the cuff is placed directly above the bend of the elbow. Check your monitor’s instructions for an illustration.
Don’t measure over cloths: Put the cuff directly on your bare skin. Putting it over clothes can raise your systolic (upper) number by up to 40 mmHg.
Measure at the same time: It’s important to take the readings at the same time each day, such as in the morning before taking medications, or evening before dinner. Take multiple readings: Each time you measure, take at least two readings one minute apart and record the results.

University of Washington names Robert J. Jones as its next president
By Spencer Pauley The Center Square
The University of Washington has announced Robert J. Jones as its next president, becoming the first African American to serve in the role.
Jones will conclude his nine-year tenure as chancellor of University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and begin a five-year contract with the University of Washington on Aug. 1. He replaces Ana Mari Cauce, who is stepping down as president in June, completing 10 years in the position.
This will be Jones’ third time leading a public research university, including his current role at the University of Illinois UrbanaChampaign, as well as previously serving as president of the University at Albany.

A delicious French dessert
By MetroCreative
French cuisine is known for many things, including dessert. Those who want to emulate their favorite French chefs for a loved one this Valentine's Day should consider the following recipe for “Clafoutis,” a French baked custard, from Elisabeth M. Prueitt and Chad Robertson’'s “Tartine” (Chronicle Books).
Clafoutis
■ Makes one 10-inch custard
■ 2 cups whole milk
■ ¾ cup sugar
■ ½ vanilla bean
■ Pinch of salt
■ 3 large whole eggs
■ 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
■ 2 cups cherries, pitted
■ ¼ cup sugar for topping
Preheat the oven to 425 F. Butter a 10-inch ceramic quiche mold or pie dish.
In a small saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, vanilla bean, and salt. Place over medium heat and heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar, to just under a boil. While the milk
mixture is heating, break 1 egg into a heatproof mixing bowl, add the flour and whisk until the mixture is free of any lumps. Add the remaining 2 eggs and whisk until smooth. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Slowly ladle the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture while whisking constantly. Pour the mixture into the prepared mold and add the fruit, making sure that the fruit is evenly distributed. Bake until just set in the center and slightly puffed and browned around the outside, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove the custard from the oven and turn up the oven temperature to 500 F. Evenly sprinkle the sugar over the top of the clafoutis. Return the custard to the oven for 5 to 10 minutes to caramelize the sugar. Watch carefully, as it will darken quickly.
Let the custard cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature. Far Breton Variation: Omit the cherries. Soak 2 cups pitted prunes in equal parts water and brandy for about 1 hour; the timing will depend on how dry the prunes are. Drain off any remaining liquid before adding the prunes to the custard.
Note: You may use any fruit that is well balanced with acidity and sweetness, such as raspberries, apricots, or peaches. Sauteed apples or pears are delicious variations in fall.
Washington Board of Regents announced Jones as the university’s 34th president on Monday. The board had previously authorized Chair Blaine Tamaki to enter into contract negotiations with Jones.
Tamaki touted Jones’ leadership in the announcement.
“His inspiring and barrierbreaking personal journey, highly regarded scholarship and decades of transformative leadership convinced us that Chancellor Jones is the ideal person to build upon President Ana Mari Cauce’s legacy,” Tamaki said in a news release.
Since 2016, Jones has prioritized affordability for students while serving as the chancellor of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Jones helped launch the Illinois Commitment Program, which guarantees four years of free tuition to
Illinois residents with family incomes less than $75,000.
The university’s enrollment grew to a recordsetting 59,000 students in fall 2024 under Jones’ chancellorship.
Prior to becoming chancellor at Illinois, Jones was the 19th president of the University at Albany from 2013 to 2016.
Jones said he is honored to lead the University of Washington and noted the university is globally renowned for outstanding teaching, research, innovation and patient care.
“I look forward to working with the UW’s talented and dedicated faculty and staff to support and accelerate their work, and to partnering with the UW’s supporters to advance students’ success, economic opportunity and discovery for the public good,” Jones said.

Bill to remove medical debt from credit scores in Washington moves forward
By Carleen Johnson
The Center Square
State lawmakers are forwarding a bill that would change how medical debt impacts Washingtonians' credit scores.
Senate Bill 5480 doesn’t erase medical debt completely but “Declares a medical debt void and unenforceable if it is reported to a consumer credit reporting agency or credit bureau,” according to a Senate Bill Report.
The report goes on to say the bill “Prohibits specific entities from reporting medical debts to a consumer credit reporting agency or credit bureau, on pain of committing a violation of the Consumer Protection Act.
According to an Economic Opportunity Institute article from the summer of 2024, approximately 95% of people in Washington have health insurance, but the amount of money being spent is still outpacing what they can afford.
On the plus side, according to the article, 6.5% of adults in Washington have medical debt, which is lower than in many other states.
According to the EOI article, the average premium on the Washington marketplace, the Health Benefit Exchange, has increased 100% since its inception in 2014.
Elizabeth New, director of the Center for Health Care at the Washington Policy Center think tank, wrote a blog opposing the bill. She spoke with The Center Square.
“The majority party is constantly talking about skyrocketing healthcare costs and yet everything they do increases the cost of care, it seems,” New said.
She noted the bill requires health care providers to notify patients before service that they cannot enforce collection if the debt is reported to a credit bureau.
“We’re encouraging people not to pay medical bills,” New said.
According to HB 5480, patients must be told upfront that they can potentially receive care without consequences for non-payment.
New suggested the bill isn't necessary as health care providers are more than willing to work with patients who struggle to pay their bills
“Hospitals work with people, and providers work with people to set up payment plans,” she said. “There’s financial aid through hospitals, and always people willing to create options, and on top of that, our state does an incredible job with charity care, in my opinion.”
During a Thursday Senate Law & Justice Committee hearing, SB 5480 was up for executive session, where several amendments were considered, including one that would ensure patients undergoing cosmetic procedures would not be eligible for having medical debt voided.
That amendment was adopted.
Sen. Jeff Holy, R-Spokane Heights, the ranking Republican on the committee, spoke just ahead of a final committee vote
on the bill, recommending a no vote.
“We have another aspect of government overreach here to where we are again involving ourselves in business activities that will result in the socialization of the cost of credit to everybody out there, not just the few,” he said. “We are stepping on the toes of the process as it exists here for debt collection and the reporting agencies out there.”
As New noted in her blog post, medical debt doesn’t just disappear.
“When one person doesn’t pay, someone else has to cover the cost,” she wrote. “Hospitals and doctors will likely raise prices on insured patients and those who pay out of pocket to compensate for increased losses.
Democrats passed the bill out of committee on Thursday, sending it to the Senate Rules Committee.

Proposed legislation would pull the plug on Tesla’s EV sales advantage in WA
By Brett Davis The Center Square
A bill “protecting consumer choice by creating a fairer marketplace for auto sales” could, if passed, threaten Tesla’s direct-to-consumer model and cause the electric vehicle automaker to close its service centers in Washington state.
Tesla – founded and led by billionaire Elon Musk – is currently the only EV carmaker that can make direct sales in Washington due to an exemption obtained a decade ago when the company was the lone EV manufacturer seeking access to the market.
While companies like Rivian and Lucid can have physical locations in Washington to display and promote their EVs, interested parties can’t test drive vehicles, discuss purchasing options, or buy a vehicle. Would-be customers have to go online to buy, lease or get questions answered.
Bipartisan legislation, Senate Bill 5377, sponsored by state Sen. Rebecca Saldana, D-Seattle, would lift the ban on direct sales, putting other EV companies on a level playing field with Tesla in terms of customer transactions.
According to a bill report on SB 5377, the legislation “Repeals the exemption for vehicle manufacturers
that held a vehicle dealer license on January 1, 2014 to the prohibition on manufacturers competing with new motor vehicle dealers.”
Susan Daaga, general counsel for the Renton-based Washington State Auto Dealers Association, spoke in favor of SB 5377 during a Tuesday public hearing before the Senate Labor & Commerce Committee.
She noted that “the franchise dealership model has been and continues to be the ideal model for delivering and servicing vehicles in the state of Washington.”
According to Daaga, franchise models “employ over 20,000 workers, accounting for nearly $2 billion in annual payroll. They generate millions in tax revenue for vital state services. They make substantial contributions to local nonprofit and charitable organizations.”
She went on to tout the ecological benefits of the franchise model in helping to boost EV sales.
“They provide quick, convenient access to vehicle service in over 70 communities around the state, and they’re leading the way in the EV revolution, offering dozens of EV models and partnering with the Department of Commerce to assist nearly 6,000 low-income Washingtonians purchase new EVs through the state’s 2024 EV Instant Rebates Program,” Daaga said.
According to the legislation itself, the goal is to end the ban on direct sales “while ensuring that traditional auto dealers are supported in transitioning to a zero emissions vehicle-focused market.”
Washington is among the states that have joined California in requiring all new automobiles sold in the state to be zero-emission vehicles, or ZEVs, by 2035. This includes electric, hydrogen-fueled,
Aand hybrid vehicles with at least 50 miles of electric-only range.
Ava Ames, Tesla’s Northwest regional sales and delivery manager, spoke against SB 5377.
“Tesla has been and continues to be Washington state’s catalyst for electric vehicle adoption,” she told the committee. “Taking away our ability to sell [directly] to customers limits consumer choice, hurts Washington’s continued transition

Born in 1931 to Raymond Harold and Ada Mae Puddy, LaVern grew up on a farm in Twin Falls, Idaho with two brothers and propelled himself through college on a boxing scholarship. He graduated from WSU in 1954 with a BA in Architectural Engineering then married Frances Cresswell, the love of his life, the next day. He would say he knew as soon as they began talking that she was the one. He said, “she fit like a glove”, perfectly. LaVern and Frances moved to Nebraska where LaVern served in the US Armed Forces. Ultimately, they settled in Seattle to build their life and family.
Over the next 50 years, LaVern and Frances would build and manage apartment buildings across Magnolia and Queen Anne. Their legacy and purpose in life was raising four quirky, smart and beautiful children: Lisa Michele, Raymond Scott, Linda Lucile and Paige Marie. Skiing, skydiving, competitive pinochle nights, tailgate parties in the front yard or the endless hours tinkering with tools as children played underfoot were a few of the hallmark stories that their walls might tell. They proudly shared that they were the only Puddy listed in the Seattle phone book, and anyone was welcome to drop by. Those who did never forgot them.
