Best of 2012 – April – Tri-Cities Toilet Flush Ban – Japanese Ghost Ship – Liquor Stores Bid For

April saw a terriffic joke, a ghostly guest of our coast, and the liquor stores found new homes.

The U.S. Coast Guard ended up sinking a Japanese ghost ship that had drifted across the Pacific Ocean to the Washington-Canadian coast after March 2011.

Tri-Citians thought they were going to be facing a toilet-flushing ban!

Winning bids were announced for Washington state's old liquor stores.
