From the newsroom

I'm a big New Year's resolutions person. Not because I think anything really changes when the clock strikes 12 a.m., but because I think it's a wonderful excuse to reflect on the past year's successes and plan for the future. I was thrilled to crack open a new journal and write down a list of things I'm grateful for from the last year of my life, and a list of things I hope to accomplish in 2025.

When it comes to the work I do, the last couple of my stories published in 2024 feel representative of what I hope to continue doing going into the new year: solutions-focused stories on issues that face our community, like my piece on the Didgʷálič Wellness Center in Anacortes.

As for personal resolutions, I'm trying to learn German. Frohes Neues Jahr!!
