Tuition
Whitman College's 10% Promise takes effect for incoming first-year and transfer students in fall 2027. Divide a family's annual adjusted gross income by 10 and that's the most they'd pay in tuition, so a family earning $150,000 would pay no more than $15,000 a year. Seattle Magazine
Parade
Retired U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Jim Willard was grand marshal of Wednesday's Veterans Day Parade downtown, where a cold, wet morning didn't dampen the crowd. The Downtown Walla Walla Foundation says Willard is a combat-wounded Vietnam War veteran awarded the Combat Infantryman Badge, the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star. Union-Bulletin
