'A crucial role in my career exploration': Slingshot connects Spokane youths with career opportunities (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tyler Lafferty founded Slingshot in 2021 with a mission: to challenge the expectation that high school- and college-aged people must have a single career path locked in. “I had no intention of starting a nonprofit,” said Lafferty, an entrepreneur with experience as a board member for nonprofits like the Innovia Foundation, which awards grants in Eastern Washington and North Idaho.

So, it’s been substantial,” said north Spokane State Farm owner and agent Layne Stoops. Hemmed in by road closures on Francis to the south and Division to the east, evacuation mandates prom
Look-alike contest was a (Benson) Boone to Spokane doppelgangers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Eighteen competitors resembling Washington-born singer-songwriter Benson Boone congregated in front of the Numerica Veterans Arena on Friday.
