TAKE NOTE (2/27/2021):Power is out at SR 903 & Lake Cabins area, pole down. WSDOT, PUD and WSP on scene.
UPDATE:Thank you to everyone who shared our request for identification of this Cadillac used in a theft at the Thorp Fruit Stand this week! Someone who read our post saw the Escalade near Royal City yesterday and told the Royal City Police Department about it; Royal City's Chief stopped the Escalade and detained the suspect driving it. Deputies took custody of the car and 34-year old Garrett Cimmery of Othello and recovered property valued at around $7,000 from Cimmery's residence near Othello--most, though not all, of what was taken. ![]()

This success story, like most in Law Enforcement, came from the help and cooperation of the community. We can't be effective without you and we appreciate it! We're always happy when property can be returned to its rightful owners--and a criminal is prevented from further mischief (at least for a while).
