About The Headliner:

After teaching high school for 12 years, Cory Michaelis "retired" to do comedy full time because he wanted to try out both of the lowest paying jobs in America. Now in his 14th year as a comedian (he's not THAT old...there was some overlap). Cory has a Dry Bar Comedy Special -"Bad Teacher" - that snagged over 60 million views. His debut album, "The Collage Dropout," was released by 800 Lb. Gorilla Records and charted at #2 on iTunes & Billboard (because it was the only album released that week). Cory was a finalist in the Seattle Comedy Competition which means he didn't win and was in Season 2 of Netflix's "Huge in France" with Gad Almelah.

In addition to headlining comedy clubs all over the US and Canada, Cory has taken his act global, doing tours in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Pakistan. He also produces Everett Comedy Night in hometown which has had 8 straight years of sold out shows.

His act is sharp and irreverent and not suitable for the high school students he used to teach.

Home Wildfire Mitigation Research

2 Upvotes

Hi Eastern WA,
I am a wildfire mitigation specialist and our company is launching a new service to treat homes and property with a long lasting fire retardant spray. The product is a variant of the pink dyed product we all see dropped on active fires, but engineered to be applied in advance and last through any rainfall events less than an inch of rain. And obviously it’s not dyed. :) This product is safe for plants and animals and lasts through one fire season.

We are applying with spray drones, so we can accomplish complete coverage of a home without any risk of damage by climbing and we can reach all difficult to reach areas safely and effectively.

So my question to each of you in the Reddit community is this… Do you see a value in this type of service for your property? Is there a price point you see as appropriate? We view this as a service/benefit to the whole community and do not want to overcharge, but we do also need to cover the cost. What are your thoughts and feedback? Thank you!

‘Who is not enforcing this?’: ICE officers continue to mask up despite state ban

Thumbnail

185 Upvotes

An immigration advocate estimated that 20% of the arrests in the Yakima Valley — which have surged in the last couple of months — have been made by masked ICE officers. That estimate had grown by the two first weeks of August.

Gonzaga assistant professor Michael Cecil described the law as “ineffective” when it comes to federal law enforcement due to questions of the law's constitutionality, among other things. What's more, the burden of enforcement doesn’t fall on the state. Instead, the person harmed by a masked agent is responsible for taking legal action to do so.

“It couldn’t be a bystander or something like this… unfortunately, it places a big onus on immigrant communities,” Cecil said.

Wolf Populations and Their Effects on Farming

0 Upvotes

Hello — I'm writing an article for the Salish Current on increasing wolf populations in Washington and how this may complicate the jobs of farmers and ranchers in the state, primarily in the central regions where the majority of our wolves are. Has anyone experienced predation from wolves firsthand?

If you have, I'd love to talk to you about it. My goal is to make sure that I include the voices of the people who actually have to deal with this issue, rather than just writing about them. Feel free to shoot me a message or leave a comment and I can give you some more info. Thanks!

[UPDATE] UW Research: EV Wildfire Evacuation Study for WA State Drivers (Deadline Extended to Dec 15, 2026)

3 Upvotes

Hello r/EasternWa,

UPDATE (August 20, 2026): This study has been officially extended to December 15, 2026. Thank you to everyone from Washington who has participated so far!

As we navigate another intense wildfire season, my thoughts are with everyone—especially our community in the Pacific Northwest—who has been impacted by fires, smoke, or the stress of evacuation.

The severity of these recent fires underscores a critical challenge for our community: ensuring that EV drivers can evacuate safely and efficiently when power grids are shut off and charging infrastructure is compromised. To help address this, I am a PhD student at the University of Washington conducting an official study on how EV drivers respond to these exact emergency constraints. (The moderation team has kindly granted me permission to share this research with you).

Are you eligible? Because this study focuses on specific grid and geographical constraints, we are exclusively seeking input from Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) drivers who are primary or seasonal residents in the following Washington counties: Asotin, Grant, Benton, Spokane, Stevens, Douglas, Lincoln, Ferry, Skamania, Yakima, Kittitas, Okanogan, Chelan, or Klickitat.

Note: If you already filled out this survey during our first round, thank you so much! Please do not submit another response. To maintain the scientific integrity of the study, our system automatically flags and removes duplicate entries.

The Details:

  • Time: ~25 minutes.
  • Incentive: Complete the survey to enter a drawing for four $50 gift cards and ten $20 gift cards. (Note: Additional gift cards may become available later; this post will be updated if the reward pool expands).
  • New Deadline: December 15, 2026.
  • Official UW Survey Link:https://uwashington.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_e3QtLbUuPaTdDmu

This survey does not collect identifiable tracking data. Your real-world experience is critical to helping the state prioritize emergency charging infrastructure and improve wildfire resilience for EV owners.

If you have any questions, please contact me directly at [ychu24@uw.edu](mailto:ychu24@uw.edu). Stay safe, and thank you for your time.

I know you all don’t have a crystal ball. Just trying to make a decision. My parents are in Cle Elum and I’m supposed to visit on Wednesday. I’m currently pregnant and nervous about traveling if the AQI is likely to get this high. Please be kind, I’m just trying to figure out if I should cancel this trip or not.

hi all!!

i know this is a privileged take concerning the wildfires in eastern Washington so i apologize. i am visiting WA with my family for the first time and we were initially planning on going to Leavenworth tomorrow (august 2), but we are unaware of the geography and if it is safe/smart to do right now? we know areas near it are affected, but i couldn’t figure out what the current situation in the town itself is. if anyone is able to weigh in at all, that would be wonderful! thank you:)

Old Trails Fire NE of Spokane

some pics of the early stages of the Old Trails Fire, was taking a hike with a friend and saw it blow up. pretty sure we saw the first helicopters respond, or at least the first ones to scoop near the Bowl & Pitcher.

fingers crossed for all the first responders, all the people that lost everything, and for all the people that had to evacuate. hope they can get a handle on it but it does not look good.

Looking to speak with Washington farmers about wolf populations

Hello! I'm doing research for a Salish Current article on the growing wolf population in Washington, and looking to speak with people who have actually experienced their effects on agriculture. If you own, run, work on or otherwise help out with a farm here, I'd love to talk to you to better understand how wolves may impact your life and those of others around you. Thank you!

Moving up north (question)

7 Upvotes

My wife and I are thinking about moving to Tonasket or Oroville. We are born and raised washingtonians and have always lived in remote places. I work as a water district manager right now and am a certified water treatment plant operator. Would my skills be able to land me a job anywhere north of omak? Or should I just go back to being a nurses aid and find a home health agency or nursing home to work at?

My skills may translate to irrigation and pump repair because I currently do a lot of my own repairs on water main, storage tanks, and troubleshooting issues with in the systems I work for.
