Investigators: No evidence Kevin Peterson Jr. fired gun at Clark County deputies

Investigators reported Tuesday there is no evidence, at this time, that Kevin Peterson Jr. fired his handgun at pursuing Clark County sheriff’s deputies during the deadly Oct. 29 confrontation in Hazel Dell.

Deputies shot and killed the young Black man from Camas following a planned drug sale of 50 Xanax pills between Peterson and a confidential informant outside a Quality Inn motel, according to court records filed Friday.

The Waterfront Vancouver to get its first coffee shop

The Waterfront Vancouver is getting its first coffee shop — a second location from Kafiex Roasters that will focus more on breakfast and brunch. It will also offer beer, wine and cocktails.

The new location will open at the southwest corner of RiverWest, 700 Waterfront Way, in early 2021, said Seidy Selivanow, co-owner of Kafiex (pronounced Coffee-x).

Portland Commissioner Hardesty calls 911, refuses to get out of Lyft from ilani after driver cancels ride

PORTLAND — The Lyft went bad from the beginning once Portland City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty ordered a pickup at the ilani last week.

Hardesty got upset over a mixup about where she was waiting for the car, then she didn’t want the windows open for ventilation because she was cold, then she wouldn’t get out when the driver cut the ride short and tried to drop her off at a gas station miles from home.

Demolition at former New Heights Church underway

Demolition has begun on a 108-year-old downtown Vancouver church whose loose brick facade had become a hazard to passersby. The fate of the soon-to-be-leveled block is uncertain.

The former west annex of New Heights Church and the block it sits on was purchased earlier this year for $3.2 million by the estate of Ed and Dollie Lynch. The late couple were known for their philanthropy, which continues through a fund held at the Community Foundation for Southwest Washington.

What are the current COVID-19 rules in Washington?

Washington recently reported its 115,000th case of the novel coronavirus. The pandemic doesn’t appear to be going away anytime soon and neither do the restrictions state and local officials have established to slow the spread of COVID-19.

But while those regulations have been updated and refined over the past months, confusion has grown.
