wa: Do You Know Where Your Toilet Paper Comes From - 02/12/08 01:21 PM
Well, Everett, WA does have a claim to fame; Boeing, Fluke Mfg., the Everett Naval Base and, ta da, the Kimberly-Clark Pulp Mill.
Can you believe they produce over a million rolls of toilet tissue and paper products each day with about 850 employees.
The plant sits on the Puget Sound waterfront neighboring the Naval Base.  They were recently fined $235,000 for a smokey six month fire in waste wood chips that was meant for fuel. This is the largest fine ever levied on a pulp mill in Washington.
Shame, shame, Kimberly-Clark, I'm sure you'll be hearing from the Pollution Control of Washington State. … (5 comments)

wa: It's Raining in Everett - Active Raining - 03/12/07 04:34 PM
And I'm not talking weather here.  I was minding my own business the other evening, blogging, entering a listing and doing other paperwork for my listings. when I got a phone call from a prospective client.  She was on the internet looking for agents.
She had some questions regarding her financing and the manner in which her home was listed prior.  She listed with an agent that was a lender as well. Now, don't get me wrong, some people are capable of wearing both hats. Unfortunately, this agent was threatening her with "you have bad credit" "no one will give you a … (2 comments)

Now I've heard everything. Someone in Edmonds, WA just opened up a "doggie diner". A place where you can take your pet for lunch. Yes, that's right. They have china, cloth napkins and a "homemade" menu that includes "doggie tini" - a mixture of broth and other elements. It's a full course meal with dessert included.
Because she's serving pets, she cannot cook for humans, but the pizza parlor upstairs delivers so you can dine with Fido!
