Today's riddle: Do you know what the two sides of a circle are? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Pierce County invests $300k in training programs at technical college (nwpb.org) — Pierce County is investing $300,000 in Clover Park Technical College in Lakewood to expand scholarships and lower costs for short-term trades and safety courses. The grant, part of the Building Together initiative, will support programs like construction, electrician training, and a growing lineworker and arboriculture track, aiming to connect local young adults and career-changers with stable, good-paying jobs.
• Pierce County's most wanted: The men who have evaded capture years later (thenewstribune.com) — Pierce County authorities are still searching for several long-wanted fugitives, including a suspect in a deadly 2002 shooting at a Lakewood apartment and others tied to serious crimes across the county. Lakewood appears repeatedly in the cases, from homicide investigations to police pursuits, and residents are urged to share anonymous tips that could help solve years-old crimes and bring suspects into custody.
