Toutle Lake closed with a 19-9 spurt in the final stanza. “Adna’s seeding is very mi...
La Conner High head coach Scott Novak knew going in that beating Friday Harbor for a Regional berth would be a tall order.

Triton America took control of the old Moore Clark property last April and has already refurbished three of the five buildings on the three-acre site. Last week Triton CFO and Controller Ron...
This week government investigators were still trying to figure out what happened on Friday when an invisible cloud of noxious fumes descended on La Conner and Swinomish, causing some people to suffer respiratory problems. Apparently a maintenance operation went stinky at the Shell Puget Sound Refinery at March’s Point northwest of La Conner. On Monday the refinery had a recording on its phone line stating that it had “experienced a problem while doing maintenance work on the east flare which resulted in an odor issue.” The recording also has a...
