📰 News we're reading

• A return to red? SCOTUS order could affect Enumclaw's legislative district placement (courierherald.com) — Enumclaw's move from the conservative 31st to the liberal 5th Legislative District may not be permanent, as the U.S. Supreme Court has ordered a new review of Washington's 2024 maps. Depending on what courts decide next, Enumclaw could be shifted back to its former district or into a newly drawn one, affecting how your votes are grouped in state elections through 2031.
   

• Hiking Out of My League (vocal.media) — A visiting hiker drives through Enumclaw on the way to Mount Rainier, then gets dangerously lost after underestimating the mountain's fast-changing weather and overestimating their own preparation. The story becomes a cautionary tale for anyone from Enumclaw heading into Rainier's backcountry, highlighting how quickly conditions can turn deadly without proper gear, maps, and communication plans.
