When your Servicemember is deployed, you become well acquainted with customs forms, flat rate boxes and the slowest times at the local post office. You're warned not to send alcohol, ammunitions, and in recent years, pork products. However, what about the other no-no item? The one that will surely make

WASHINGTON - The Army outlined its plan today to fully comply with the Secretary of Defense's order requiring all service members to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

One Lakewood man is lucky that that the 446th Airlift Wing just had its Reserve weekend.

Gabriel Rutledge is in the standup comedy business for the long haul. Not only because his self-deprecating autobiographical routine has been cracking up audiences and impressing comedy critics for more than a decade, but also because the former Seattle International Comedy Competition doesn't really have much of a fallback plan.

South Sound theater veterans Scott Campbell and Maggie Knott are having a baby. While that's not as juicy an item as it sounds, it's still terrific news for Tacoma.
