In partnership with

Good morning, Las Vegas. I don’t know about you my but my car was nearly swallowed whole by a few different puddles while driving home on the freeway during last night’s torrential downpour. Even if it did happen I’d still welcome more rain any day.

In today’s Northwest Digest:

  • Gilcrease Fall Harvest

  • 1 October Memorial Blood Drive

  • Fall watering rules + Parade of Mischief preview

Let’s get spooky.
