Honoring @yakimapolice Sgt. Deccio today. Husband, father and public servant for the great people of Yakima and Washington State. You will be greatly missed.

It's a record setting day for August 14th...this time in #Wenatchee! Today's high temperature of 102 ties the old record of 102 set in 1992. #wawx

Every good bicycle ride starts with a helmet, and riding to school is no exception. Before your kids walk out the door, remind them of the importance of wearing a helmet.

With continued heat and smoke, the @City_of_Pullman will open an emergency cooling shelter Sunday, August 15. The shelter is available from noon to 6:00 pm in the Pullman Senior Center on the Pullman City Hall campus (190 SE Crestview Street).

Alright, so the heat is here 🥵 But good news - cooler temperatures are in store for the not so distant future. Let's seek shade & A/C and drink plenty of water in the meantime. 💧

Good to know difference between the Watch and the Warning.

[NWS Spokane @NWSSpokane]

#TuesdayTrivia Passing on two lane roadways in Washington State…. What do the center yellow lines mean? Everyone should know this so here is a friendly reminder. If you want to read the RCW’s yourself, check out 46.61.110 and 46.61.120!

[Trooper Kelsey Harding @wspd7pio]

Trooper is currently investigating a collision SB I-5 near the King/Sno County line. Another 4 car collision occurred right next to him. Please pay attention to the road in front of you.

[nhtsagov @NHTSAgov]

Kids are heading back to school, which means increased foot traffic in and around neighborhoods. If you’re driving, look out for pedestrians at all times, especially around schools.

[NWS Pendleton @NWSPendleton]

High temperature records are in jeopardy of being broken through Saturday. Relief is in sight though, as near normal temperatures are expected into next week. Stay hydrated, limit time outdoors during afternoon hours, and make sure to check on friends/family. #orwx #orwx #heat🥵

[PullmanPolice @PullmanPolice]

Did you know?: Pullman City Code prohibits the storage of any vehicle (including RVs, trailers, and passenger vehicles) on a public street for more than 96-hours.

#WednesdayWisdom If you break down on the side of the road and have to leave your car abandon, try to remove it as fast as possible or call a tow truck. We have seen an increase in catalytic converters thefts as well as vandalism.

[nhtsagov @NHTSAgov]

School is back in session, and that means increased foot and bicycle traffic in neighborhoods and around schools. Keep kids safe – don’t speed, and always watch out for pedestrians and cyclists. #BackToSchool
