Beverly Ozuna-Ulrich went missing in October 2003 from her ex's home in Belle Fourche, SD. For nearly 20 years, her family has had no answers about what happened to the mother of 8. 🧵https://t.co/IFH86SQ2Qo
The Paradise season finale is really about to seed a new generation of conspiracy theories about Denver International Airport. Just excellent marketing there.
Meet the pit bull mix who saved a man's life the other day in Bellingham. Roach isn't your average Lassie, but he's still a good boy. @dog_rates https://t.co/JkJNO8BzV2
Tom Robbins, one of the all-time great New York City reporters, has died. He rattled the powerful and gave voice to the powerless. He cared, and it showed in every word he wrote. I'll miss him, but so will this entire city.

Folks have gathered at Peace Arch Park in Blaine to show solidarity with Canadian neighbors as tensions between the US and Canada have increased over the past few months. Honks from vehicles and waves from passengers crossing the borders.
And finally, as the Trump administration continues to attack Canada, we visited our border towns to see how they were feeling. In general, they're pretty angry. https://t.co/Lehkc2LOVJ
I got ordained for a story about courthouse marriages in Whatcom County. And yes, I'm hawking my ministerial duties so please hit me up if you're in the market for a wedding minister. https://t.co/DjplxBSqlC
As I became more comfortable on the Port beat, I looked into what expanding the port commission could look like. The conversation won't stop soon either https://t.co/5pi7UywtI8
Got to do my favorite story of the new year, both here and back in South Dakota: meeting the first baby born in the county in 2025. Little Baker was named after where his parents had their first date: Mt. Baker https://t.co/hslbKBcKlH
When a local woman lost her husband in a fishing accident, we spoke with her and what her young family was facing. Hailey Hoffman's photos really made the story. https://t.co/gh29fgvI92
It's my one-year anniversary at CDN So here's a smol thread of some of the stories that I've been super proud to work on. Once again, I'm in awe of the sources who've wanted to share their stories with me. So thanks so much! It's you who makes my job possible.
I profiled the district judge who brings a bubble machine to name change ceremonies. He said, “I think when you change your life and you change the way that people interact with you, it deserves something more than just a signature. It deserves bubbles.” https://t.co/sugn1HU4tP
We also broke the news that the airport's aviation director was abruptly fired for "financial reasons" in July. Since the loss of Southwest Airlines from Bellingham International Airport, things have been a little bumpy. https://t.co/LyfPh6i9Hb
I profiled the new Whatcom County Sheriff six months into the job. That discussion still informs my reporting today especially when looking at the new jail https://t.co/D6NVTXi388
Then in the middle of May I got a call about the county morgue, which was working temporarily inside a local funeral home, was improperly storing human remains. Two weeks later, we learned that the state was investigating. https://t.co/juzvhlVTSt
One of the first stories that I worked on where I knew this newsroom took small investigative stories seriously featured a high school senior who was allowed to compete in track and field after he had been arrested for rape https://t.co/nHbpuOTNFs
