Orting will become one of the first cities in the state to allow golf carts on its streets.
A lahar drill will take place in the City of Orting sometime this week so officials can practice what they'd do in case of an emergency.
Don Rakes is on a mission, 43 years in the making. The 55-year-old Orting native is campaigning to name the new $3.7 million high school stadium after his childhood idol Bill Hobert, a star athlete who drew attention from several professional baseball teams.
Airborne video cameras, river-watching teams, 3,000-pound sandbags, a Twitter account and 16,000-pound concrete structures that look like the jacks used in the child’s game – all are in place in Pierce County for the coming flooding season.
Two small Pierce County communities have received state grants for flood control projects.
Hot weather has turned the mud left from January’s flooding at Voights Creek Hatchery south of Orting into dust.
Two people were killed early Thursday when the driver of a Chevrolet Blazer lost control and the vehicle rolled several times and crashed near the Orting area, the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department said.
