Dec 07 2012, 3:37 PM Fall sports are grand, but I love winter sports—perhaps selfishly, because I’m not getting rained on and windblown. There’s something about the thrill of standing only a few feet away the action, and being right up in the thick of it. Winter high school sports, held in gyms, allow the reporter to do that. You’re face to to face with the game, and you can see the looks of triumph, determination, and sometimes tragedy, in these young athletes’ eyes.

Dec 11 2012, 4:16 PM
A King County sheriff's deputy shot an out-of-control man in Fall City early Monday morning. The man, a homeless resident of the community, was taken to Harborview. He is alive, but his condition is unknown.
According to sheriff's spokesperson Cindi West, the man began an hours-long rant around 2:30 a.m. Monday in the Fall City Mobile Park in the 4300 block of Preston-Fall City Road, and became so aggressive by about 6:30 that "multiple" neighbors called 911.
"We understand from a witness that about 2:30, he was outside yelling 'it's the end of the world!'" West said.
