Wildfire prevention starts with small, everyday choices.

Nearly 63% of wildfires are caused by people – many by accident. That’s why PEMCO recommends you Plan, Prepare, and Prevent.

Before you head outdoors or tackle yard work:
✔️ Check fire restrictions
✔️ Keep campfires small and controlled
✔️ Be mindful of sparks from tools and equipment
✔️ Clear dry debris around your home

A little prevention goes a long way in protecting what matters.

📚 Thank you for helping support great reading habits for local youth!
Because of this community, our book drive made a real impact.

💙 Together, you helped provide 278 books to students across Greater King County and Spokane—putting books directly into kids’ hands and fueling a summer of reading, learning, and growing their literacy skills.

For many kids, summer can mean fewer opportunities to read. Your support helps close that gap and keeps confidence from slipping when school’s out.

With Cal Raleigh and Communities in Schools, we’re proud to turn community support into real momentum for local students.

📖 Thank you for showing up and making a difference.

If you have a school-age kid at home, you know summer brings a mix of adventure and unstructured time — a perfect opportunity to make reading a joy, not a chore.

Through our partnership with Cascade PBS, we’re proud to highlight youth literacy and the impact of the “summer slide,” while helping connect families to reading resources, library programs, and learning opportunities all summer long. Because when reading stays within reach, so does opportunity. 💙📚
