Washington Fire Fighters Detain Fellow Officers Over Coffee Debt
This is one of the best pranks I have seen in a long time. Des Moines, Washington: Fire Department Pranks Police Over Coffee Bill. In the quiet suburban town of Des Moines, Washington, a friendly rivalry brewed between the South King Fire Department and the Des Moines Police Department, quite literally over coffee. It all began innocently enough, with the police officers dropping by Fire Stations 66 and 67 for a quick caffeine fix during their patrols. What started as a casual routine soon escalated into a lighthearted game of cat and mouse.
The Snug Pub brings a bit of Ireland to Proctor
The tastes of Ireland are coming to the Proctor District thanks to a special family whose name has been synonymous with Proctor for generations. Targeted for an early November opening, The Snug Pub is a longtime aspiration of Paul Evans whose father, the late Bill Evans, put his heart, soul and considerable financial resources into helping make Proctor into the favorite destination it is today for visitors and its residents alike. Now Paul is carrying forth that legacy by transforming the Victorian house at 2717 N. Proctor St. into a family friendly public house complete with libations and menu items inspired by the Emerald Isle to reflect Paul’s familial roots and with a decidedly American influence.
Monday Dots: Pat Chun’s Move to Seattle
UW Athletics underwent so many changes this winter that it’s easy for some of them to get less attention than they deserve. Due to the new Football and Men’s Basketball coaches, and the rapid turnover of his successor, I think Pat Chun’s addition as UW AD was one such change. Dawgman has an in-depth interview with Chun about what brought him from WSU to UW and what some of the biggest challenges will be for him in his new role in Seattle.

Sam Hartman shares his first screenshot of EA Sports NCAA College Football 2025
The early access for EA Sports College Football 2025 dropped on Monday, and many, including former Notre Dame football quarterbackSam Hartman fired up their consoles. The current Washington Commanders player shared on social media that he had to get some frustrations out, but not with his most recent former team, the Irish. Hartman routed Clemson using Wake Forest, scoring 105 while allowing 34 points. It makes plenty of sense for him to target the Tigers, as he faced them four separate times in his collegiate career, each of them resulting in a loss for Hartman’s teams. His best shots came this past season and in 2022 when they battled into a second overtime. Just blowing off some steam… 😅😂 @EASPORTSCollege pic.twitter.com/XR406xjLMR — Sam Hartman (@sam_hartman10) July 16, 2024 Hopefully Hartman picks up the sticks with Notre Dame soon, and shares another moment of him blowing off some steam.
