Good morning, Walla Walla.

Blue Mountain Action Council launched its 2025 low-income home energy assistance program in Walla Walla County—helping households earning under 50% of the federal poverty limit with seniors, veterans, disabled adults, and families with young children receiving priority, while the Garden Window smoothie shop began its seasonal closure. The Blue Mountain Humane Society collected 325 pounds of dry cat food in 24 hours after a community call for donations.

On November 6, ninety middle school students delivered brief, TED Talk-like speeches at the Walla Walla Community College Performing Arts Center discussing topics like wealth inequality, mental health, and beauty standards.

Teachers prepared the students by guiding their research and public speaking techniques—helping them gain confidence as they voiced their ideas.
