Two online petitions emerged after Pullman School District eliminated the high school athletics and activities director position held by Wendy Kruger in late April due to a budget shortfall—prompting hundreds to protest at the board meeting on April 30.

Washington State University’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Pullman is treating record numbers of wild animals, including baby raccoons, squirrels, and owls.
