That’s when its current operator will retire. Currently, Grand Coulee has no one to replace that employee, and the city has been in talks to outsource operating the plant to an independent company on a contractual basis. That’s if the union representing employees will allow it, or if the contractor can justify that wage scale. All of that is uncertain, even unlik...

1 years ago Local bowlers recently brought home the cash during the 2013 Washington state women’s bowling tournament in Anacortes.
