La Conner’s Maple Hall could be sporting an array of solar panels by next summer, if the town approves a contract with Glacier Energy, Inc.

The idea for green energy is not new for the town — there is a photovoltaic power installation at the wastewater treatment plant, helping to lower the ene...
Having already survived a rough road, the La Conner High volleyball team drives to Adna tonight for a key District net match with Napavine. Lady Braves head coach Suzanne Marble sees the long sojourn as merely another business trip for a 17-1 club looking to punch its ticket to Yakima and the State 2B Tournament next week.

S...

Residents along Snee Oosh Beach near La Conner were greeted with a horrible sight on Monday morning. The shoreline was littered with dozens of bodies of animals that had been skinned. “It is one of the worst, horrific things I’ve seen,” said neighborhood resident Stephanie Dickinson. At first, residents, including Lynn Beebe and Chris Weiss, thought the carcasses resembled otters, which are common in our area. But no, the hapless creatures turned out to be crab bait that somebody dumped, accordi...
