For Seattle youth, boxing clubs offer lessons in overcoming conflict
In the main room of the Central District’s Washington Hall, rows of chairs have been cleared to transform the space into a makeshift boxing gym. The room now contains two freestanding punching bags, seven people, and a noisy industrial fan to keep the air circulating — it can get hot and sticky in the summer. The punching bags in particular are what 21-year-old Sky Muse came for. All day long, she hadn’t wanted to talk to anyone. Someone had harassed her on public transit a few days before, and it was still sitting with her. “So I'm gonna go put that on a [punching] bag,” she says after tightening the straps on her gloves.

Washington State Volleyball Signs Seahawks Standout Ziah Sneva
Ziah Sneva remembers all the long drives to Pullman. The Peninsula Seahawk 6-foot 2-inch senior middle blocker and outside hitter has been going to Washington State Cougars football and volleyball games since she was in fifth grade. She used to stay in the dorms on campus during sports camps for nearly as many years. Her dad, Josh, went to WSU for a time, and a handful of other family members are alumni.
