OK, one of our folks, Iceman from 97Rock, got a little excited and was channeling his inner Top Gun. That explains his "ghost rider pattern is full" and "Maverick, engage!" outbursts. But it was pretty cool around midday Friday.

A bizarre accident has prompted authorities to issue a heads up to area citizens near the Wenatchee River, of those who use it.

Woo hoo! We're finally getting that hot weather we've been waiting for! Boating, BBQs, hiking, camping, and all sorts of water sports. The weather is PERFECT for getting outside, but if you're getting the in the water, there are a few things to remember...

The source of a bio-diesel fuel leak in the Columbia River has finally been found by federal and state authorities. The leak is coming from Coleman Oil, Inc a fueling facility near Wenatchee which is located near the river according to reports...

Some people will go to enormous lengths to avoid being busted.

You've probably heard about the semi-truck wreck up along the Columbia River on Highway 243, not too far North of Priest Rapids Dam in Grant County. The highway runs alongside the river, very close in some areas. The accident has created a new dilemma for the State Patrol, Grant County officials and the Grant County PUD.

We've heard of them running out of gas, or other malfunctions, but exploding?

Police have now identified the body found by teenagers in the Columbia River along Columbia Drive in Kennewick. The body was discovered next to the shoreline a short distance east from the Cable Bridge (pictured at left).

Authorities are still trying to figure out what prompted a 31-year-old woman to assault patrons in a park, smash some car windows, then swim across the river to avoid capture.
