In perhaps the best political address I’ve heard in my 80-plus years, Vice President Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic Party’s nomination for president of the United States. Read story

Letter: Vote to support women’s worth

August 28, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Dear girl dads and granddads, when you cast your vote this November would you please think about your daughters and granddaughters? What message are you sending to your girls about their worth if you vote for a self-avowed and convicted abuser of females? Read story

Letter: Some immigrants are welcome

August 28, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I smiled when I read Dick Lee’s letter (“An observation about Republicans,” Our Readers’ Views, Aug. 23) about Donald Trump and JD Vance’s wives being immigrants or the daughter of immigrants. But I think Mr. Lee misunderstands what the core of Trump and Vance’s anti-immigration stance is. It’s not immigration… Read story

Letter: Learn from traffic fatality

August 28, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

A friend and I were in the mess stuck in the traffic not too far from the modular home that got stuck on the slough bridge on state Highway 14 (“One dead in seven-vehicle crash in traffic backup,” The Columbian, Aug. 22). After a lengthy wait, a Department of Transportation… Read story

Letter: Woodin or Weaver for creek?

August 27, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

There is conflict going on in Battle Ground. The city has one major creek, but the creek has two names. Some maps use Woodin Creek, others Weaver Creek. Read story

Letter: Audit spending on homeless

August 26, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I would start by saying homelessness is out of control in our state, but that’s not exactly true. Washington has fewer homeless residents (per capita) than New York or Vermont (two other liberal states; this isn’t all about politics). However, 50 percent of Washington’s homeless population is unsheltered, compared to… Read story

Letter: Salmon can’t succeed

August 24, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Salmon are astonishing amid restrictions. We are confused helpers of salmon. Arrogant indulgers using more dead than alive saying it’s helpful. What? Watch them die off? Read story
