Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Battle Ground, voted Wednesday to impeach President Donald Trump in a stunning final rebuke after four years spent locked in a fragile two-step of backing her party while keeping its polarizing leader at arm’s length.
Herrera Beutler was one of 10 House Republicans to cross party lines and vote to impeach Trump for inciting the right-wing mob that launched an assault on the U.S. Capitol last week. The House voted 232 to 197 to advance the charge to the Senate, which will make the determination as to whether the president should be convicted, removed from office and barred from running again.
An overnight storm left a wake of disruptions in Southwest Washington and the Portland metro area this morning, with numerous power outages and landslides disrupting traffic into the Columbia River Gorge and toward the Oregon Coast.
The storm brought heavy rain and wind to the region Tuesday night, with a 24-hour rainfall total of 1.68 inches as of about 4 a.m. today and a 72-hour total of 2.59 inches.
A man died from injuries caused by a firework on New Year’s Eve in north Clark County.

The Eatery at the Grant House has closed its doors permanently, according to a Sunday Facebook post from owners Scott and Sarah Flury. The restaurant’s website has also been updated with a banner message announcing the closure.

A woman who attended Captain Strong Primary School from 2001 to 2002 is suing Battle Ground Public Schools, alleging she was groomed and sexually abused by a teacher there. That same teacher was later convicted of sex crimes.
