The Forest Hunter cattery has all the equipment you’d expect to find in a cat-breeding program. There are little-used kennels, well-abused scratching posts, kitty drinking fountains, plenty of toys, and cats and kittens of all sizes. Two of them are lying in ambush outside a cupboard door, waiting for their victim to poke his head out. Another is snuggled into the bottom shelf of an end table. Every few minutes a small parade of fluffy kittens whizzes by, the one in the lead trying to keep whatever treasure it’s found from the pursuers.
Drug overdose and poisoning are two very real threats that most people look at every morning. The danger sits in…

Debating a November election issue for residents, the Carnation City Council is considering a 1 percent property tax lid increase to help balance the city’s general fund.
No decision has been made on a levy lid lift, and the conversation so far has been hypothetical.

Snoqualmie Valley’s history-making bond measure, the $56.2 million Proposition 1 to build a new Snoqualmie Middle School, is back on the ballot Tuesday, April 26, to much surprise. Valley Voters for Education, a fund-raising group that campaigned strongly for the bond’s first vote on February 8, can’t believe it failed then, and by only one vote. Opponents of the measure can’t believe it is back on the ballot, specifically because it failed in both the general election and in a March 3 recount.
By re-using the same design from the Twin Falls Middle School, the Snoqualmie Valley School District proposes to save about $400,000 and several months in design work to construct the new Snoqualmie Middle School.
Based on district projections, though, the cost for the new $48.3 million SMS will be about $18 million more than the initial budget for Twin Falls school, built five years earlier. The discrepancies are significant, especially now that construction costs are significantly lower because of the economic downturn.
Two little boys in the schoolhouse exhibit of the Tolt Historical Society museum are not quite right, and Isabel Jones is fussing over them. The boys in the desks are actually girl dolls, disguised with haircuts, jeans, T-shirts, and golf hats. They look enough like the real thing, Jones thinks, “but they wouldn’t have their hats on if they were in school.”
It’s an idea from another time, but it fits right in with most of the displays in the museum, and with their new neighbors. Now sharing space with horse-drawn carriages from the 1920s and ‘30s, the museum will re-open Saturday, April 16, in the Carnation Farm Carriage Barn.
