A photographer reflects on 38 years of capturing life’s most poignant moments — from a girl named Lily seeing holiday lights through her hospital window, to a seventh-grader’s secret romance, and a Little League team that graced Life Magazine. He recounts a transformative trip to Romania in 1996, where harrowing realities at an orphanage ignited global compassion. Through film to digital, his lens never lost its heartbeat: the human connection. With 32,000 images archived, he closes his career with gratitude for mentors, colleagues, and the power of visual storytelling that turned strangers into stories.

Campbell’s stock hit a 23-year low after missing targets and slashing future forecasts, dragged down by sluggish salty snack sales that show no sign of rebounding—yet their meals and beverages division, led by hits like Rao’s and high-protein soups, is thriving. While no dividend boost is on the horizon, the 6.9% yield and 11x P/E ratio make it a compelling buy for patient investors seeking long-term value and steady income, even as the snack segment struggles.

Used car prices have skyrocketed since 2012, making budget-friendly options older, higher-mileage, and more expensive to maintain. With fewer new cars on the road and buyers holding onto vehicles longer, today’s market demands smarter shopping: know your budget, stay flexible, secure financing ahead of time, and use tools like Edmunds or Kelley Blue Book to spot real deals—before they’re gone.

After the Old Trails fire razed over 800 homes in Spokane — the deadliest wildfire in Washington history — a small neighborhood of 20 homes stood untouched, thanks to firefighters’ heroic efforts. Recently, those same crews were invited back not for another battle, but for a heartfelt gathering of gratitude organized by a homeowner. Residents who lost everything reunited with the heroes who saved what they could, forging bonds of thanks and healing. For the firefighters, it was a rare moment of recognition and closure. For the community, it was a powerful reminder that even after devastation, resilience, connection, and hope can rise — one home, one neighbor, one shared story at a time.

Rachelle Miller, a write-in independent candidate, stunned Spokane County voters by barely clearing the 1% threshold with 1,083 votes to make the general election ballot — while her opponent, Suzanne Schmidt, pulled in over 22,000. With no official campaign materials or Voter’s Pamphlet support, Miller relied on a website and grassroots hustle to run as a social worker, small business owner, and mom. Though write-ins rarely win, this year’s political fatigue and local focus on issues like data centers may give her a chance to break through — even without the usual advantages.

Shannon St. Hilaire’s gripping new book, “The Hanford Necklace,” drops October 6th, plunging readers into the secret, shadowy world of WWII’s atomic weapons program — where 50,000 people vanished into a ghost town to build something they couldn’t name. It’s just one jewel in a dazzling fall literary season bursting with Northwest talent: Samuel Ligon, Patrick deWitt, and Emily St. John Mandel all deliver fresh, powerful stories that center on human resilience — from sisters surviving the apocalypse to detectives chasing justice, to con men running with their daughters. Mandel returns with a haunting speculative tale set in a collapsed LA, while Michael Connelly brings back Harry Bosch for one last mission rooted in his own past. This is a season of bold voices, daring genres, and stories that don’t just entertain — they connect us to what truly matters.

Spokane’s 7-Eleven is caught in a cycle of drugs, loitering, and homelessness — again. After a second chronic nuisance order, the store’s management still hasn’t submitted its plan to fix the mess, even as police show up daily and crime stats dip. But beneath the surface, it’s a public health crisis fueled by poverty, broken systems, and a community that’s both resilient and weary. Some say the store’s owners have always been compassionate, even now helping those still on the streets. The city’s looking for better coordination — between cops, social services, and neighbors — to turn this around before it breaks completely.

Robinne Lee’s new novel, “Crash Into Me,” is a bold evolution from her breakout hit “The Idea of You,” diving into fashion, film, and complex themes like race, status, and marriage. After a three-year battle with writer’s block, Lee found her muse in a character she’d dreamed up years ago—Cecilia Chen, a multiracial photographer juggling career, motherhood, and marriage. The spark came from a real-life car accident that inspired the book’s explosive opening scene: Cecilia collides with Anouk, a model from her past, reigniting old flames and disrupting everything. This story blends Lee’s signature charm with deeper, more personal stakes, proving she’s ready to take on the world—and her readers—with even greater emotional depth.
