AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Road Safety: A head-on I-90 crash near George killed two people and injured three more; the 24-year-old Seattle driver was charged with vehicular homicide after troopers said drugs or alcohol and seatbelt nonuse were factors. Wildfire Impacts: SR 291 reopened between Spokane and Suncrest after closures tied to the Spokane Complex Fires, though some Level 3 evacuations may still be in place. Outdoor Adventure: A firsthand look at the “improbable” hike up Beacon Rock in the Columbia River Gorge shows why it’s a go-to for big views and good people-watching. Travel & Tourism Access: Delta announced a new nonstop Seattle–Tokyo-Narita route starting April 2027, adding another option for Japan-bound travelers. Local Economy: New state revenue data shows fairly strong retail activity in Pacific County communities toward the end of spring, with sales tax collections up in several areas.
