12+ hour, 29+ min ago (276+ words) The Washington Nationals revealed its 12-man coaching staff last week to finalize several expected hires, and Sean McGrath and Will Hawks became the latest names to surface on Monday to round out the minor league staff. Sean McGrath will head to the Nationals for his second coaching stint with a major league organization. He joins after serving as the pitching coach at Lamar over the last two seasons where he produced impressive results in short order. McGrath previously worked within the Seattle Mariners organization working with the Double-A affiliate Arkansas Travelers during the 2022 season. In his first season at Lamar, McGrath oversaw a pair of all-conference selections, including one first team selection in Riely Hunsaker, while Lamar broke the 18-year program record for single season strikeouts with 491. Lamar also led the conference in multiple categories including strikeouts while ranking second…...

16+ hour, 32+ min ago (911+ words) Washington State introduced Kirby Moore on Tuesday as the 36th head coach in program history, but the relevant number is five. When Moore paces the sideline during WSU's season opener -- his first game will be the Apple Cup! -- he will be the Cougars' fifth coach in seven seasons following Mike Leach, Nick Rolovich, Jake Dickert and Jimmy Rogers, the one-year non-wonder. That's immense turnover for any program, much less one challenged by finances, geography and conference realignment. And it explains the administration's focus on stability during the coaching search. Moore offers that possibility as a Washington native -- he grew up in Prosser -- who attended WSU games as a kid. But did the Cougars over-index for loyalty when they shunned head-coaching experience and hired a first-timer? Moore checks a slew of boxes: -- He's the son and brother of football coaches and knows…...

21+ hour, 44+ min ago (225+ words) WASHINGTON (AP) " A U.S. appeals court on Wednesday ruled that the National Guard deployment in Washington, D.C. is allowed to continue for now, staying a lower court ruling that had ordered an end to it. Federal appeals court allows National Guard deployment in Washington to continue for now The three-judge panel for U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that Trump may prevail in his argument that in D.C., a federal district, the president "possesses a unique power" to mobilize the Guard. The ruling stops the implementation of U.S. District Court Judge Jia Cobb's Nov. 20 opinion and order. Cobb had ruled that the deployment illegally intrudes on local officials' authority to direct law enforcement in the district. The unanimous 32-page ruling went on to say that other factors also favored the Trump administration, including the "disruption to the lives of thousands…...

1+ day, 18+ hour ago (375+ words) Loyal Legion's mission statement is simple. The beer bar's "sole purpose is to celebrate the Oregon Craft Brewing tradition," its website helpfully explains. To that effect, the bar opened in 2014 pouring nearly 100 taps of beer, cider and wine, all from Oregon. Soon, Loyal Legion will apply that single-minded pursuit to a state that has so far been kept off of those taps: Washington. In spring, the popular bar will head across the Columbia River to open its fourth location " after Portland, Beaverton and the Portland International Airport " in downtown Vancouver. For Vancouver breweries, it's a chance to join a lengthy beer list that has long eluded them. For beer fans elsewhere in the Portland metro area, it could mean a chance to sample some coveted Seattle breweries that rarely make it this far down Interstate 5. "There's been massive interest from…...

1+ day, 19+ hour ago (671+ words) Dec 16, 2025, 12:15 PM When Shawn Tibbitts opened Tibbitts FernHill, he was just trying to survive. The small Tacoma restaurant has since earned culinary awards and praise from food publications across the region. But ask Shawn which recognition means the most, and his answer might surprise you. "Food awards celebrate my craft," Tibbitts said. "Community recognition celebrates my heart." That heart is exactly why WSECU has named Tibbitts a Washington Community Champion this holiday season, an honor that comes with a $1,000 grant he plans to pour directly into feeding his neighbors. The community meals weren't part of any business plan. They started after Tibbitts lost his mother, when grief turned into a desire to give back in her honor. That same season, he kept hearing stories of Tacoma families with nowhere to go and nothing on the table for the holidays. "I…...

3+ day, 6+ hour ago (250+ words) The Washington Commanders (3-10) are still hunting for their first victory since Week 5, and are looking to do so against their divisional rival, the New York Giants (2-11). McNichols has recorded 15 yards on eight carries, averaging just 1.9 yards per carry. However, he has hauled in a 16-yard reception, while Croskey-Merritt has yet to catch a pass. After the Giants' touchdown possession, Washington once again forced a three-and-out, forcing the Giants to punt to Jaylin Lane, who returned it 63 yards to the house to give Washington a 19-7 lead. Following Lane's punt return, the Commanders' defense took just four plays to give the ball back to their offense. Dart threw an interception to Mike Sainristil, who returned it 55 yards to the Giants' 24-yard line. Quan Martin and Frankie Luvu have each recorded a team-high three tackles, while Preston Smith and Jacob Martin have both…...

3+ day, 9+ hour ago (808+ words) The New York Giants are out of the postseason, facing an uncertain future. So too are the Washington Commanders, who have a little more certainty regarding their future. But until the future rolls around, exactly what is there for these two teams to play for in this Week 15 tilt other than pride? For the Giants, there is something, and with all apologies, that something isn't the first overall pick in the 2026 draft order." There are actually two things the Giants can play for this week. The first is the draft order. With a win over the Commanders, the Giants improve to 3-11, which would be the same record the Commanders would have with a loss. Assuming both teams finish with identical records, the draft priority would be based on head-to-head (which would be tied) and then best won-loss record in divisional…...
