Former Seattle TV and radio traffic reporter and current Auburn City Councilwomen Tracy Taylor has been chosen by her fellow members to be the city's deputy mayor.

Taylor was chosen by a 4-3 vote over the incumbent deputy Cheryl Rakes.

Taylor promised to work to bring unity to the council as they work to better the community.

The deputy mayor assists the mayor of the town and would assume the position if the mayor becomes unable to fulfill her duties.

Erin just repeated what our WSU professor said in his intro speech for TV news class.

A little music from the 80s today.

Gabriela's, which used to be Stocton's until it closed, is open now for breakfast.

We ate their last Saturday (November 29th, 2025) and the food and service were great.

Eventually, I would expect, the establishment will have a full opening for all three meals.

Great weekend for my favorite football teams as the Washington State Cougars avenged an earlier loss this season and, Saturday (November 29th 2025), soundly defeated the Oregon State Beavers 32-8.

Not to be outdone, Sunday (November 30th, 2025), The Seahawks shutout the Minnesota Vikings, 26-0. It was Seattle's first shutout since the 2015 team beat the Bears, also 26-0.

WSU's last chance to be bowl eligible. The Cougs face the Beavs for the second time this season. Go Cougs!
