‘Thankful the rain stopped when it did’ | Friday thunderstorm floods Wenatchee areas
WENATCHEE — Deputy public works director Jessica Shaw says the city of Wenatchee experienced some seasonal flooding from Friday night’s thunderstorm. “Friday night, we did have a pretty good thunderstorm that came through Wenatchee,” said deputy public works director Jessica Shaw. “We did see about a half an inch of rain up the canyon, which does put some pressure on the canyon drains or streams that run through town, but then we also saw that much, or more, in the city, which put stress on our stormwater system. In town, we saw up to 0.9 inches of rain at some of the private rain gauges that we watch. That’s quite a bit of rain in a short period of time.”

NFL Watch: wild ending to Raiders vs 49ers preseason finale
Here at Seahawks Wire, we obviously focus primarily on the Seattle Seahawks. It’s sort of our thing!

Usually it is a big game or major news, but sometimes it can just be a fun moment.
Former Georgia RB uses stiff arm on 56-yard touchdown
Former Georgia Bulldogs star running back Kenny McIntosh scored a 56-yard touchdown in his preseason finale with the Seattle Seahawks. McIntosh’s touchdown helped the Seahawks beat the Cleveland Browns, 37-33. McIntosh’s touchdown was his only run of the game. He is sixth in the NFL with 142 rushing yards this preseason. There’s no doubt McIntosh did enough this preseason to make the Seahawks’ 53-man roster. McIntosh is the Seahawks’ third-string running back, but he is one injury away from having a significant role during the regular season. “McIntosh has proven he can run hard and be explosive, which is a perfect third option behind Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet,” said Kole Musgrove of Seahawks Wire. McIntosh showed a great combination of speed and vision on his lengthy touchdown run.
