This interview is with Nick and Dana Blizzard of Blizzard Wines. In this interview, Nick and Dana talk about their entry into the wine industry after working office jobs in the city and their next steps planting their vineyard.Nick and Dana met in high school, went to college together, and then moved from office life into the wine industry. Dana had joined an amateur winemaking club with the desire to make a physical product that she could share with people.

After going back to school through Chemeketa to learn more about winemaking, she and her husband started their winemaking operation in her parents' garage.Nick grew up in wine country, living across the street from the Ponzis. When Dana started to develop an interest in winemaking, he also expressed a desire to join the industry. He talks about discovering a love for the Carménère varietal and helping to source fruit from Eastern Washington. He also designed their tasting room and production space that now sits on Dana's family vineyard.Later in the interview, Nick and Dana talk about their newest project, Blizzard Ridge, and the planning that goes into planting a vineyard. They also share about the future of their sparkling wine program.This interview was conducted by Rich Schmidt at Blizzard Wines in Hillsboro on August 18, 2025.

Two familiar Republican names from last year’s election are back in the news: Joe Kent and Pete Serrano. They’re not running for election, but they may be finding success instead with federal appointments. Kent is a former Green Beret who ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. House twice in District 3. The Senate approved his appointment as director of the National Counterterrorism Center late last month. Serrano was the mayor of Pasco and ran for Washington Attorney General against Nick Brown. It was reported last week that he is the presumptive pick to take over as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Washington. For many candidates who lose statewide office, a failed campaign is the end of the line, so how have these GOP candidates from a deep blue state been able to give new life to their political careers?

Pasco Mayor Pete Serrano will resign to become U.S. attorney for Eastern Washington under a 120-day appointment from President Donald Trump, pending Senate confirmation. Serrano is also leaving the Silent Majority Foundation, which is pursuing a high-profile challenge to Washington's high-capacity magazine ban that could reach the U.S. Supreme Court. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/pasco-mayor-pete-serrano-to-take-trump-appointment-as-eastern-wa-u-s-attorney/ #PeteSerrano #Pasco #USAttorney #SilentMajorityFoundation #DonaldTrump #HighCapacityMagazines #WashingtonState #SupremeCourt #Politics #Law

This is the second in the series of paintings of the old west as it was left.  The paintings were by acclaimed cowboy artist Fred Oldfield and acclaimed because they so obviously were lived by the man who painted them.  This is my favorite, notes Dorothy Wilhelm. Although the photo of Fred comes from Eastern Washington, everyone knows the feeling when the sky literally seems to close down around you. This description of Fred's life comes from the Fred Oldfield Western Heritage Center: Fred Oldfield had a passion and appreciation for life that is reflected in his work. His colors are bold and powerful like the beauty he saw in his surroundings. Fred was born in Alfalfa, Washington in 1918 and grew up on the Yakima Indian Reservation near Toppenish. He never knew a permanent home during his early years and held many jobs as he was growing up. Most often, he worked as a cowhand. He remembers nights on the prairie so cold that he would literally set tumbleweeds on fire, to lie down in the warm spot they made as they burned. “You could sleep for about two hours before the cold woke you up” he'd recall. His collectors are drawn to these stories and early experiences that he tells with his brush and canvas. He did not realize that he had potential as an artist until he painted a flower on a bunkhouse wall when he was about 17. He also painted a frame around it and a nail to hang it on “and it really looked like a thistle.” Fred sold his first painting in Alaska, working on discarded 9″x 9″ linoleum tiles, they were sold for him by his landlady, a woman with an incredible sales ability. The lady, whom he laughingly describes as his first agent, was able to get as much as $10 each for his work–a fortune in 1941. When the war started, he headed back to the States to join the Army, painting patriotic scenes on leather jackets worn by fellow travelers on the boat. It was while he was in the Army that he really got excited about painting and began to think he might make a living as an artist. After the war, he attended art school in Seattle under the G.I. Bill and began painting murals on walls in Alaska, Canada and throughout the Northwest. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What happens when two lifelong friends—and practicing physicians—set out into the California wilderness just to bond over a backpacking trip, but come back with a story they can't explain? In this intense and gripping episode, we sit down with Curtis and David, medical professionals turned amateur investigators, who recount their chilling encounters in the most remote corners of the Siskiyou wilderness and Eastern Washington.From a massive igloo-shaped shelter surrounded by inhuman-sized scat piles to a 16-inch footprint left in a marsh—just hours before they arrived—their findings raise more questions than answers. You'll hear about pine cones thrown in dead silence, twisted trees suspended in the air, and nighttime vocalizations that sounded eerily human.Locations include the legendary Smith River, Kelsey Trail, and the Salmo-Priest wilderness near Sullivan Lake.Listen now to find out what made two doctors believe in Bigfoot.Resources:See what happened when Curtis and David went back to Gypsy Meadows in June on the Salish Sasquatch channel here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rf26b6mg3NQ

We'll also talk to Kyle Maki with the Idaho Wildlife Federation about this year's better than expected spring Chinook Salmon run up the Snake River and some of its tributaries and potential ways to make the returns even better.   www.northwesternoutdoors.com

One of the most musical and complex bird songs in the U.S. is that of the Brewer's Sparrow. It's a veritable aria, ringing forth from the sagebrush of Eastern Washington's Columbia Basin. Shrub-steppe is disappearing from the interior west as it is cleared for irrigated crops. The quintessential drylands bird, the Brewer's Sparrow can survive for an extended period of time with no supplemental water, getting all the water it needs from seeds and arthropods.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?
