The settlers who founded Ellensburg in the 1870s were likely drawn by
the plentiful water in creeks crisscrossing the valley, but as the city
expanded, it grew right over those streams.
Look at a Google map of downtown Ellensburg and you'll see Wilson Creek wind across Main Street. Walk the block, however, and there's no sign of flowing water.
The creek, one of many in the valley that once supported salmon, now flows in culverts below the streets for about half a mile. Several blocks to the northwest, Mercer Creek runs below a motel parking lot. Across town, the creek briefly surfaces and then runs back underground, looking on a map like scattered stitches on a quilt.
Patrick Sawyer is the first American to die in what health officials are calling the "deadliest Ebola outbreak in history." His death has sparked concerns that the virus could potentially spread to the United States.

Local police ask you to “Tweet Smart” during emergencies
Three men were arrested Saturday in a Spokane County public park
after allegedly building an illegal campfire and target shooting with a
handgun reported stolen out of Las Vegas.
A homeowner near McLellan Conservation Area in Nine Mile Falls called the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office to report gunfire and smoke. Jason T. Presha, Carl Jefferson-Wright and Kevin J. Mack were found at the campsite, and Presha initially denied there was a gun at the camp, according to court documents. He later admitted to firing the gun and filming the shooting with his cellphone.

Local police ask you to “Tweet Smart” during emergencies
(Seattle)—Social media has become the tool of choice for sharing life events, from mundane things like family dinners to major, life-changing, emergencies
Seattle-area law enforcement agencies are asking you to “Tweet Smart” during emergencies, to help public safety responders keep you safe.
“Please don’t tweet about the movements of responding police officers, or post pictures,” said Washington State Patrol Chief John R. Batiste. “Sooner or later we’ll have an emergency where the suspect is watching social media. That could allow an offender to escape, or possibly even cost an officer their life.”
The agencies’ concern began to grow after watching events in Moncton, New Brunswick and Portland, OR.
“We watched these incidents as they unfolded on social media. In both cases, there was real-time information posted by individuals that could have compromised officer safety,” said Chief Bret Farrar of the Lakewood Police Department.
Along with not posting information about police movements, posting pictures can also put officers at risk.
“If it’s safe to do so, go ahead and take pictures of our deputies in action,” said Kitsap County Sheriff Steve Boyer. “We’re very proud of the work they do. We’d simply ask that you wait to post those pictures until the emergency is over.”
In fact, pictures posted after the emergency can help investigators determine what happened as the event unfolded.
Here are some suggested dos and don’ts for the use of social media in emergencies.
· Do get to a safe place and call 911 if possible. Live telephone calls to dispatchers are law enforcement’s best source of real-time information in an emergency.
· Do feel free to let family and friends know you’ve reached safety.
· Do feel free to warn friends if you have first-hand knowledge of a developing emergency.
· Don’t tweet or post about the movements of police, or post pictures of officers. Even what seems like vague information could be used by a criminal familiar with the area.
· Don’t endanger yourself to get a picture, no matter how compelling.
· Don’t spread rumors. If you’re not sure, don’t post, tweet or re-tweet.
· Do feel free to tweet about the response and post pictures after the emergency is over.
Although the term is “Tweet Smart,” the advice applies to whatever is your preferred social media platform.

Above is the kitchen of the original Walton Family on Jameston rd. It hasn't changed with water by well and home recipes. My great uncle who lived here with his family moved and no one was where. They owned most of Manito Park which the gave to the city of Spokane with their tie and money. I know little else except they came from Sherman County Oregon and Hermiston in the 1800's.
