The Olympia School District bringing school resource officers back to campus the move comes after two recent incidents where students brought weapons to school like within the first week of the new year. Northwest News Radio's Carleen Johnson. The school board adopted the policy after taking public comments not all of them in support of having armed officers on campus. This high school junior told the board as a young black man he thinks he'll be targeted by officers. I as a student am not at all comfortable with police or in the same office. Several parents testified in support of bringing back SROs including a man who transferred his daughter out of Capitol High School after the recent gun incidents. The new school safety and security services program policy will ensure the SROs have completed training before they interact with students. Like many districts it was 2020 in the wake of the backlash against police following George Floyd's murder that Olympia removed SROs.

"Day across the nation. More from West News radio's Carleen johnson. Just in the city of Spokane in the first six months of this year, 91 people have been hit by vehicles, many of them killed. There's no area of town that's immune to this problem. Spokane Police corporal nick Briggs tells K. X. L. Y. Drivers and pedestrians on phones cell had buried not paying attention is a huge factor. Mark McKechnie with the Washington F. X. Safety Commission agrees. We certainly encourage pedestrians pay attention and use crosswalks, use sidewalks when they're available, not be distracted and listen and look in their environment. Statistics for 2021 are shocking. It was 145 pedestrian fatalities in 2021, which was an all time high for Washington State, almost a 32 % increase from the year before. During the pandemic, driver speed on open roads with traffic no was blamed for the rise in crashes and pedestrians struck and killed. But post pandemic that has not improved. Carleen Johnson, Northwest News Radio Tomorrow will mark one week since the Newell Road fire in Click Attack County began. Nearly 62 ,000 acres have burned, including an unknown number of homes, outbuildings and farm and crop land. Yesterday, new areas were evacuated in the northwest section of the fire, but more favorable weather today is helping crews gain containment. Yesterday we did well and today we're going to do even better. So expect to see some more containment and a lot less smoke coming of this out area. Dave Robertson at Fire Command says the fire is now 50 % contained with more than 530 personnel working to knock it down. Let's check get a of traffic. We do it every 10 minutes on the force.

Westbound 18 from the West Valley Highway up the hill right onto South and I -5 where things break free.

In Seattle we had a stalled vehicle South and I -5 approaching the West Seattle Bridge. Last checked it was still blocking that one carpool lane and was adding it to slowdowns South of Northgate but we've also had maintenance happening Northbound 5 on the Ship Canal Bridge blocking your lane right so that's adding to slowdowns from the Michigan curve into and through the downtown core. We had some earlier maintenance on the bridge blocking yourself on right lane I'm not seeing it blocking anymore but I'm gonna take a closer look and see if maybe it was an illusion. Hood Canal Bridge is moving fine right now but we do have another closure scheduled for 1 45 this afternoon expect so a lace -in and the muckle Tio Clinton ferry is going to be running on a one boat scheduled to further notice

Despite the county declaring itself a Second Amendment sanctuary in an ordinance in treating said laws as if they're invalid in the ruling the appeals court said the ordinance violates a law giving the state the power to regulate firearms, not local jurisdictions.
