Truck and Trailer Recovered from Lake Sawyer

A truck and boat trailer plunged underwater at Lake Sawyer’s boat launch last Saturday night—thanks to a combination of steep ramps and oversight. Black Diamond police and Mountain View Fire responded, but it was the King County Sheriff’s dive teams who pulled off the miracle recovery, lifting both vehicles back onto dry land. Boating pros warn: always use parking brakes, wheel chocks, and never leave your engine running unattended. Lake Sawyer’s popularity makes safety tips crucial—especially since Washington state law requires a boater’s education card for motorized boats. Thanks to swift teamwork, no one was hurt and both vehicles were saved. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Seattle’s Heart Rallies for Venezuela

When devastating 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes struck Venezuela, Seattle’s community erupted in action—led by Isamary Herrera of Arepa Venezuelan Kitchen, who watched as neighbors flooded a warehouse with clothes, shoes, and essentials for victims. With over 1,400 dead and thousands displaced, Herrera personally waited hours for her parents’ safety, while friends lost homes and some remain missing. The tragedy hit close when a fellow Seattle Latino restaurateur lost her mother. Now, volunteers from across Washington are racing to find space and partners to ship supplies to Miami, urgently needing first aid and hygiene items as rescue efforts continue. For Herrera, this surge of support is more than aid—it’s a powerful, heartwarming reminder of humanity in action. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
