"What did you do?"
Tracie Smith's howl shreds the stunned silence on Schusmann Avenue Thursday morning, as a sickening scene begins.
Staggering with shock and mindless of two cuts on her face, Smith confronts a dazed and bleeding Taylor Pearlstein, staring, horrified, at the hood of her car, where her boyfriend Chace Carlson is lying prone.
"You've been drinking! What have you done to my babies?" Smith screams again, but soon, all sound is drowned by incoming sirens, and the hydraulic pump for the "jaws of life" equipment.

"Who would hang an umbrella on a hat rack?" a set dresser grumbles as she shifts the collection of umbrellas and old-fashioned hats hanging in the entry of the Northwest Railway Museum depot in Snoqualmie.
She's talking to herself, as she fusses with suitcases and furnishings in the depot, and there seems to be a lot of that going around Wednesday morning in Snoqualmie, as headset-wearing, clipboard-carrying creative types bustle around the depot and, kitty-corner across Railroad Avenue, an empty lot now overflowing with trailers and cars.

Mount Si Transitional center still feeling effects of January blackout
Months after a weeklong power outage that started January 18, the Mount Si Transitional Health Center in North Bend has again suffered from the effects of that event.
The center, home now to 41 people recovering from medical procedures, had to have a generator wired into the facility during the outage. Staff did not know until last month that some of the work did not meet state code. An electrical inspector found the flaws about two weeks ago, and called them to administrator Beth Marsh’s attention.
