The Moscow community celebrated the grand opening of a new Home Depot store on May 21 after a year of construction; about 200 people attended a board-cutting ceremony with Mayor Art Bettge and Representative Lori McCann, and the store will create 140 jobs while donating ($5,000) to the local American Legion post.

Four-time regional Spelling Bee champion Navtaj Singh—an 8th grader at Lincoln Middle School—will make his final appearance at the national competition starting Tuesday in Washington D.C.

Traffic delays will occur on Grimes Way at WSU next week from Tuesday through Friday due to Avista utilities working between Olympia Avenue and Dairy Road — flaggers will direct traffic through the work zone — so drivers should plan for delays.

Pullman Fire Department crews completed a four-day vehicle extrication training last week—this annual drill gave them hands-on practice in extraction techniques for accident responses.
