It’ll be a family affair tonight at tonight’s Federal Way vs. Puyallup volleyball game. All four referees and both head coaches are part of the same family. “A pretty fun and happy moment.” For @thenewstribune: #storylink=cpy" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thenewstribune.com/sports/high-sc…

This little spot on the Key Peninsula is one of two places in the state where dogs can go dock diving, a sport where they take running leaps into a swimming pool to catch a toy. Here's a glimpse into their competition 😉 for @thenewstribune thenewstribune.com/news/local/com…

Freshman pitcher Sierra Murray led Rogers to the 4A state championship game and led the South Sound in strikeouts (252), unflinching all season and poised beyond her years. She's the TNT's 2025 All-Area player of the year. Story 👇 📸: @liesbethpowers thenewstribune.com/sports/high-sc…

1/ By the time Christopher Hess was fired from the @dallaspd, he had faced 10 internal investigations into allegations he used excessive force. Yet he escaped discipline in every case until he killed someone. How did one Dallas police officer avoid discipline for 10 years?

THREAD: Dallas police ignored a decade of warning signs about Officer Christopher Hess' brutality. Then he killed someone. My latest investigation with @milesmoffeit @danachewy: interactives.dallasnews.com/2023/black-and…

For months, I talked to tearful parents who felt that their children were trapped in a system that didn’t hear their pleas. They expressed gratitude that finally someone — anyone — listened. This story is theirs.

Empty shipping containers stacked one on top of the other and locked end to end - that's the solution Arizona came up with to build its own border wall. Now defunct, the wall cost taxpayers nearly $200 million. Amazing reporting by my dear friend and former coworker Francesca! 🤩

@oliviacgeorge @TB_Times Congrats!!
