Photos by Jared Wenzelburger / jared@chronline.com Carrie Bredy smiles while embracing a passerby who stopped to help and provide encouraging words in Morton on Tuesday after an act of vandalism. Sara Smiley and husband Jason Sawyer own a woodworking shop in downtown Morton where they sell topographic maps and niche furniture. Smiley is a board member on the Lewis County Dignity Guild, a nonprofit that hosted this year’s Lewis County Pride event and provides signs frequently seen across the county that read “rural Americans against racism” and Pride flag-colored signs that read “Lewis County Welcomes Everyone.” Smiley and Sawyer’s shop window is adorned with the signs and Pride flags. Out front, they have a rainbow bench called “The Buddy Bench.” The week of June 13, someone vandalized their window. Then, early in the morning on Saturday, June 24, the business was one in a string of four locations significant to the Dignity Guild that were vandalized: four full-sized windows were smashed in. At the other three sites, a rainbow-painted fence in Chehalis, “The Friendship Fence,” was splattered with black paint; the organization’s new headquarters in Chehalis near the county courthouse had several windows broken; and a flagpole that hosted a Pride flag was bent and the flag stolen.

Washington State Parks Vice Chair Sophia Danenberg smiles as she prepares to cut the ribbon during a ceremony marking the official opening of the Willapa Hills State Park Trail in Littell on Friday. According to Washington State Parks, the new bridge over state Route 6 is meant to provide trail users a safe crossing as they bike, walk or ride on horseback on the trail. “The new bridge was built through a collaborative process between Parks and the local community to address safety concerns at the intersection of the trail and SR 6,” Washington State Parks noted in a news release. “The old intersection required users to navigate a crossing that was at the same grade as the highway in an area with limited sight distance. Now, trail-goers have an overpass, so they don’t have to pause their journey to look for traffic.”
