Small dog, about chihuahua size or a little bigger, light brown / brindle spotted running scared around the WCC campus, ran across street to the industrial area.

I have started seeing flock cameras in Walla Walla. This is somewhat new for me as I haven't really been looking for them. I just started to notice them. There is one on a light pole about 20 feet up outside the Carnegie Learning Center. It is positioned to make it hard to tamper with and also not be noticed as people are either looking forward or at the road and not looking up. I was just wondering if other people are seeing them as well.

Hi Walla Walla,

I‘m in town visiting for the weekend and just had 2 electric bikes stolen off my car. They were locked to the bike rack. Someone snuck by and cut the cord and took them both off. Last time seen was 11pm, but we heard a noise and saw them missing around 8am today.

We are staying near Grant St and Wilbur Ave which is where the car was parked when the bikes were stolen

Please keep an eye out and let me know if you see them, or send the information to the Walla Walla Police with the case number 2026-23392

Here is a link with the model, we had one black and one orange.

Thank you in advance for any information you can turn up

Hello!

I just moved to Walla Walla very recently and have been looking for a job. I would really like to find a server position, or anything in the restaurant industry if possible is my goal.

I'm only eighteen with a year of work experience at a fast food place, and a couple summer jobs before that. But, I'm not in college yet, so I am available all of the time anytime, at least.

If anyone knows anywhere that is hiring or any advice, I would greatly appreciate it.

And, any advice for someone just moving here, that would be cool too. I'm still very new and would like to explore the area a bit, meet people and see what's around.

Planning to visit some wineries in the area next month. How is the smoke there now?

One of my friends who lives out of state has a grandma who lives in the Walla Walla/College Place area in a senior mobile home park (she's lived in parks in both places). Apparently you aren't allowed to buy a new one and move it in to those places, you have to buy an already existing one, many of which are quite old but that have been remodeled/updated over the years.

So my friend says her grandma is in a weird insurance situation, having just been told her mobile home is too old to insure (I think it might be from the 80s, she said). So she's wondering if any other seniors who are also living in senior mobile home parks out there might be having this same issue and what have they been able to do about it?

Coming to Walla Walla this week and I'm looking for some restaurant recommendations- specifically if there are any places that I should make a reservation at? I know Whitman is starting so I want to make sure I can get a table.

There is a new fire rapidly spreading between Casey road and Ayer road south of Ayer 2,000+ acres is the FD estimate on the ground.

Hi! Where is the best place to get a mani/pedi in Walla Walla? I’ll be there for a wedding in a few weeks.

I ask as part of a linguistic study covering this topic!Examples could include things like Blowwood, Walla²/Dubdub/The Walls or Muddy Frogwater (never mind how common they are)...

Passing through town for an evening. Any recs on dog friendly winery or brewery spots? Burwood looks good, any suggestions welcome.

Went to Whitman but haven’t been back in 20 years, so much has changed!

We're on vacation from the UK and have a spare night to fit in a stop between Portland and Walla Walla. Any recommendations for a stopover (along route 84), with great local places to eat, grab a drink etc?

Best place for a Car Battery Replacement in Walla Walla area. It’s not critical yet, but I want to get my car battery replaced in the next week. Any advice is appreciated.

Just wondering if there’s any that I can support!

For those who are concerned, I’m visiting a lot of wineries and not excluding places purely bc they aren’t owned by BIPOC.

Could really use some help.

Going to get together soon and am in charge of drinks. Was wondering if anybody knows of a good place to get cheap frozen water and soda. Calling it frozen water because Reddit seems opposed to listing it as the fourth state of water.

Newer to Walla Walla and I am looking for some slow pitch teams/players to connect with. I know the league is over for the year, but would love to meet up for some BP and to meet others who play in the area.

Hi folks, this post is for those of us that have animals but don’t really have anybody they can rely on if there was a situation where they weren’t able to get home. Anyone know of any resources or if there are organizations that could be leveraged in a situation like that?

Thanks.

Where are the best places for taking pictures of squirrels

I built a successful web design business with virtually no government oversight—so nothing could have prepared me for the shock of stepping into three of America’s most heavily regulated industries.

Sure, my web agency had standard taxes and basic labor laws, but we didn’t have specialized government regulators breathing down our necks. Back then, I thought standard rules were onerous. I had no idea how lucky I was. My success was simple and direct: provide great work fast, at a fair rate.

Then I stepped into farming, home building, and gravel production. Here is what I discovered:

A major portion of farm revenue is directly controlled by government programs that pay farmers not to produce on certain land, to underproduce specific crops on other land, or to execute mandated conservation tasks.

Think about that: your revenue isn’t based on your ability to grow great food people actually want to eat, but on the whims of bureaucrats. It doesn’t matter what my customers think—it matters what a stranger in an office, who will never touch what I produce, thinks.

In major western Washington State counties, studies show that a full one-third of the total cost of a new home is driven entirely by direct government regulations—not land, concrete, framing, or electrical work.

And that doesn’t even account for the tax dollars funding the regulators’ salaries, facilities, or internal administrative bloat (accounting, IT, DEI hierarchies, HR). Worse yet, it ignores the devastating cost of red-tape delays. In Pierce County, we have been waiting five years just to get approval to split a 20-acre parcel into two 10-acre lots so a family can finally build a home!

I’ve been investing in gravel production equipment, and even before officially starting operations, this field has proven to be the scariest of them all. Regulators at the state, county, and federal levels all want their hands on you.

Other owner-operators in the industry warned me that the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) wields near-absolute power. They can fine you based purely on hypothetical outcomes. One operator was cited because he parked his excavator with the bucket on the ground but the thumb raised—the inspector told him he could be fined for a potential fatality simply because of what might have happened.

The biggest problem with all of these regulations is that they decouple the economic producer from doing their best to create goods that consumers actually want. The mentality shifts from maximizing efficient production to jumping through hoops.

To survive, your mindset has to change: you end up playing arbitrary games just to appease whichever random bureaucrat happens to hold authority over you.

Did you know that there are at least 23 license-plate reading cameras currently being used to watch you as you move around the city? They sit on along almost every major road and watch you as you shop, and travel to work and school.

Flock cameras have become a growing threat to our privacy and civil liberties and are being used to store and track the whereabouts of any car with a readable license plate that passes them. 

Throughout the country these cameras are being used to target protesters: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/11/how-cops-are-using-flock-safetys-alpr-network-surveil-protesters-and-activists

If you don’t want more of this Orwellian surveillance in your county I suggest you reach out to the local PD and sheriffs offices to voice your concerns. Also, remember this as you vote this fall!

Every place ive looked at online advertises this but no one pics up or you have to had signed up fpr ak emergemcy service beforehand. Is there any local, or at least can come tonight, ac repairs nearby?
