"Pacific Northwest Coast IPA" might not be a thing, but it's a jumping off point for this week's panel discussion on IPA featuring three noted and award-winning brewers—Whitney Burnside of Grand Fir (Portland, Oregon), Chris Baum of Varietal (Sunnyside, Washington), and Ben Edmunds of Breakside (Portland and Milwaukie, Oregon)—recorded live at our Brewer's Retreat in Yakima, Washington. Through the conversation, the three discuss: differentiating American and West Coast IPA building beers in dialogue with consumers driving signature notes with Centennial cryo, Comet, Cashmere, Audacia, and more lowering hop astringency without sacrificing bitterness using contrasting lots for different expression within the same hop variety the impact of lager yeast on bitterness expression avoiding dry-thin-bitter beer And more.

You pull a sample to do a forced diacetyl test, and you wait for it in silence. Something feels not quite right. You reach into the water bath and bring the flask to your nose … And it's a butter bomb. The logistics start running through your head. Do we hold the tank? We have accounts waiting. How many days until it clears? And then you wake up and remember that you use Berkeley Yeast's FRESH™ Chico. It's got ALDC inside every cell, so diacetyl can't even form in the first place. Through primary. Through dry hopping and hop creep. Diacetyl stays ultra-low. So you don't have to add ALDC or wait for diacetyl to clean up. And most importantly, you don't have to wake up in a cold sweat, worrying about scary stories like these. FRESH™ Chico is now available in dried bricks for as low as $88 at berkeleyyeast.com.

The cost of diesel gas is at record highs as the war in Iran continues. We hear what it means for school districts trying to budget for school bus transportation from Trevor Greene, superintendent for Yakima School District in Yakima, Washington. Then, homeschooling numbers continue to rise in the U.S. Retired professor Kenny Anthony explains the trend. And, we're taught that growing up means putting away childish things. That includes trading the magic of fairy tales for serious adult novels. But what if turning our backs on children's literature is a mistake? Oxford University professor and children's author Katherine Rundell makes the case for "Why You Should Read Children's Books, Even Though You Are So Old and Wise."See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

This week's episode is another panel discussion recorded live at our Brewers Retreat in the hop country of Yakima, Washington, and features three brewers with decided experience brewing fresh hop beers—Kevin Smith of Bale Breaker, Zach Turner of Single Hill, and Vinnie Cilurzo of Russian River.

T-Mobile — headquartered right here in Bellevue — just filed a WARN notice with Washington state announcing 77 layoffs across eight cities and the closure of six locations. The cuts hit Seattle, Bothell, Kennewick, Tacoma, Yakima, Bellingham, Vancouver, and multiple Bellevue HQ buildings, with layoffs beginning September 21st and wrapping by November 18th.And T-Mobile is far from alone. TikTok just axed 75 jobs in Bellevue. Meta is subleasing downtown Bellevue office space. Zillow is cutting 91 Washington workers. Starbucks is migrating functions toward Nashville while activists like Katie Wilson claim a boycott victory. Seattle's tech corridor is shedding jobs at an accelerating pace and nobody in power seems to care.Sean lays out the case that this isn't purely an AI displacement story — it's a Washington state story. A payroll tax. A millionaires tax pushed by Seattle-area activists and council members. A mayor who broadcast a "bye, bye" to high earners and practically celebrated employer flight. A governor and legislature that have made Washington one of the most hostile business climates in the country. Fall is coming, and Sean argues the wave of announcements isn't close to finished.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of Pacific Northwest politics, business, and the stories your local news skips.

Episode 500! It feels surreal to achieve this latest milestone, but in this episode, recorded live at our Brewer's Retreat at Bale Breaker in Yakima, Washington, we talk hazy IPA with three luminaries in the category: Henry Nguyen of Monkish, Sam Zermeño of Brujos, and Kelsey McNair of North Park. Along the way, we discuss everything you'd expect us to discuss: dry hopping at warm temperatures, maintaining haze richness and diversity, understanding oil content and what that means for hazy IPA, achieving the perfect color, haze-positive hops, and so much more. At the end, Vinnie and Natalie share an unexpected surprise, but you'll have to listen in for that!

Yes, at high levels, it's tragically bad. But even at low levels, it masks the good flavors. So if you want hop notes to pop, you need diacetyl to be ultra-low.

This interview is with David Andreani of Cherry Hill Winery. In this interview, David discusses his beginnings within the wine industry in France and continuing that journey in America.David talks about his entrance into the wine industry. David's good friend's parents owned a vineyard in the south of France and David was asked to help out when times were stressful. David happily agreed to help because he got free food, free lodging, and free wine. David started with vineyard maintenance until he asked to work a harvest in 2002. From there, David did some picking and carrying and eventually was named the chief of harvest. When the winemaker left, David stepped into that role as well. After 10 years of working for that winery, David made the move to the U.S.David discusses his adventures in the U.S. and his transition to Oregon. Starting in North Carolina and Montana, David worked as a landscaper, bike/ski tech, and even a chocolatier. During this time, David would go back to France every harvest to continue nurturing his passion for wine. When his then girlfriend was looking to get her PhD, David insisted she find a school in wine country, thus David ended up in Oregon. After dropping off resumes at many different wineries, David settled at Cherry Hill as the winemaker in 2018. Even after 8 years at Cherry Hill, David notes the difficulties of working in an American winery. Along with the amount of cleaning, David still has trouble converting the metrics he is used to.Later in the interview, David talks about his future outside of Oregon. David is making the move to Yakima, Washington where he plans to continue his winemaking career. David believes that change has always suited him and it's time for another adventure. Along with his new work, David has goals of making wine just for fun for himself. He hasn't yet been able to make wine just how he likes it, but he cannot wait to make the wine perfect for him.This interview was conducted by Rich Schmidt at Cherry Hill Winery in Rickreall on August 24, 2026.

This sermon, “The Answer to Discouragement,” from Pastor Kevin Deyette at Restoration Church in Yakima, looks at Haggai 2:1–9 and God's response to disappointment and discouragement. When things don't turn out the way we hoped, a fresh start isn't always the answer. We need to be reminded of a promise that is already true: God is with us. Join us this Sunday at Restoration Church in Yakima, WA, as we worship together and learn from God's Word.

Sermon Outline: "Redeemed with a Purpose, Released with a Mission" Preacher: Pastor Rhonda Davis I. From Saved to Sent The Foundation: Recapping last week's message, believers must stand firm on the reality that they are chosen, accepted, redeemed, and adopted. Beyond the Waiting Room: The church was never designed to be a waiting room where saved people sit around until heaven comes; it is a sending station where redeemed people are equipped and released into a broken world. Inserting Your Name into the Great Commission: Drawing from John 1:7, Pastor Rhonda emphasized that every believer's name belongs in the blank: "There was a man/woman sent by God, and his/her name was [Your Name]." II. The "Anywhere But Here" Principle Overcoming Resistance: When called to serve, our natural reaction is often to ask God to send us "anywhere but here." The Founding of Church of the Harvest: Pastor Rhonda shared her personal story of resisting starting a church in Cleveland, TN, hoping for opportunities in Phoenix or Yakima instead. While kneeling in the dirt on Atkinson Drive, God gave her a vision of Jesus reaching into the four corners of the earth to pull in the hurting and asked her: "Why are you resisting Me?" Highest Calling: What begins as an "anywhere but here" moment often becomes the very place where God's presence is most powerfully revealed. III. Carrying the Message of Redemption My House Is Full, But My Field Is Empty: Pastor Rhonda shared a memory of her mother singing a classic song about God's heart weeping because His children gather around the table while the harvest fields lay ripe and ungathered. The Ministry of Reconciliation: According to 2 Corinthians 5:18, God has trusted believers with the message of redemption. We do not carry condemnation into the world; we carry forgiveness, grace, and hope. Shifting from Blame to Opportunity (John 9): In the story of the man born blind, the disciples wanted to debate who was to blame ("Who sinned, this man or his parents?"). Jesus rejected the blame game and focused on the opportunity to demonstrate God's works. Religion shames people for having dirty feet; Jesus kneels down to wash them. IV. Using Base Materials for Miracles Spit and Mud into Miracles: Jesus took dirt and spit—the lowest material—to heal the blind man and sent him to the Pool of Siloam (which means "Sent"). God Doesn't Need Better Material: Believers often wish they were smarter, more talented, or more gifted. However, God takes basic "dirt" (2 Corinthians 4:7) and fills it with His Holy Spirit so that the glory belongs entirely to Him. The History of Queen for a Day & The Esther Project: Starting small and using what was available led to growing out of facilities on Atkinson Drive by 2012. In 2014, while Queen for a Day was on hold, God birthed The Esther Project at Women of Hope, where hundreds of women were crowned and reminded that their names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life. In 2015, following a prophetic dream involving an emblem of the Lion and the Lamb, Queen for a Day was moved to Omega Center International (OCI), expanding its reach to hundreds of women annually. V. Carrying an Atmosphere & Transforming Pain Atmosphere Changers: Fear, division, and hopelessness carry dark atmospheres, but the presence of God inside a believer carries a light that shifts any room. You do not have to absorb the atmosphere of a room; you are sent to transform it. Created for Good Works (Ephesians 2:10): Purpose is pre-ordained by God. There are people only your specific story and personality can reach. Pain as Your Pulpit: Your greatest trials, struggles, and wilderness seasons become the very platform through which you minister compassion and hope to others. Nothing is wasted in God's economy (Romans 8:28). VI. The Unstoppable Cry of Purpose The Supernatural Realm: Purpose cries out before the throne of God long before a physical outcome is seen. Moses: When placed in a basket on the Nile, the cry of his purpose ensured he survived to lead millions out of Egypt. Mary Magdalene: Her purpose delivered her from seven demons to become the first witness to announce the Resurrection. Peter: After denying Christ, the cry of his purpose sustained him to preach the sermon at Pentecost where thousands were saved. Jesus in Gethsemane: Facing the cross, the eternal purpose of redemption carried Him through to secure salvation for all humanity. Scripture Index John 20:21 > "Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you." Romans 10:14-15 > "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace..." John 1:6-7 > "There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe." Matthew 9:37-38 > "Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest." 2 Corinthians 5:18 > "And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation..." John 9:3-5, 7 > "Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work... And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.)" 2 Corinthians 4:7 > "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."

Most of us pray for relief when life gets difficult. The early church prayed for something different. In this message from Acts 4:23–31, Pastor Kevin Deyette explores how the believers responded to opposition by asking God for boldness instead of escape—and how God empowered them to remain faithful in the midst of it. In this sermon, Pastor Kevin from Restoration Church in Yakima, WA examines the prayer of the early church, what it means to trust God's sovereignty in the face of opposition, and how the Holy Spirit empowers believers to boldly proclaim the gospel. If you're searching for biblical teaching on prayer, courage, the Holy Spirit, or faithful Christian living, this message from Acts 4 offers practical insight rooted in God's Word. If you're looking for a church in Yakima, we'd love to have you join us at Restoration Church. Join us on Sundays as we worship and study God's Word together.

One of them is in farm country in central Washington. Next, artificial intelligence is evolving rapidly, and many local governments are trying to figure out how, or if, they should be using it. In Snohomish County, local leaders are trying a new experiment by convening what’s known as a “civic assembly.” And finally, while many families can access free lunches during the school year, experts say summer creates a hunger gap.

In episode 249 of the Transition Drill Podcast, explore military transition, long-term service, and purpose after retirement for veterans and first responders navigating life beyond the uniform. You'll hear retired Army Colonel Michael “Sully” Sullivan on leadership, identity, Special Forces service, and what it takes to build a meaningful second mission after a 30-year military career.Michael “Sully” Sullivan grew up in Yakima, Washington, surrounded by a family legacy of military service that stretched from World War I through Vietnam. His father served as an infantry officer in Vietnam before becoming a longtime prosecuting attorney, and those experiences quietly shaped Sully's view of service long before he ever put on a uniform himself. Originally headed toward law school, Sully attended Claremont McKenna College to play football and pursue a more traditional civilian path. But an unexpected ROTC opportunity changed everything and sent him into the Army with what he thought would only be a four-year commitment.Instead, Sully found purpose in leadership, team culture, and the challenge of military life. He shares stories from his early years as a field artillery officer, meeting his wife just weeks after they were introduced, building a family while serving overseas, and eventually taking the difficult leap into the Special Forces community. The episode walks through his path to becoming a Green Beret, the pressure and uncertainty of Special Forces selection, and what it was like entering that world just as 9/11 changed the trajectory of the military forever.But this conversation isn't only about military service. Sully speaks candidly about marriage during a 30-year Army career, raising children while constantly moving, financial mistakes, mentorship, and the reality that senior leaders often transition feeling isolated despite decades of experience. He also talks openly about chasing promotion to general officer, accepting when that path didn't happen, and learning how to move forward without bitterness or regret.Today, Sully serves as the Executive Director of Team Red, White & Blue, helping veterans reconnect to purpose, health, and community after service. His transition story is rooted in preparation, relationships, humility, and trusting the people who truly know you. This episode is a deep conversation about identity, leadership, family, service, and finding a new mission after the military.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:GRND Collective: Premium, veteran-owned sportswear built for those who show up, outwork the excuses, and give 100%.

With all the talk about drought again this year, and a lack of snowpack in the mountains, why is nobody really talking about the fact that the reservoirs are currently filled to capacity?

Reports of the Northwest possibly entering a “Super El Nino” year has many farmers wondering how challenging the year ahead may be.

When you look at the top restaurants around the world, no matter what cuisine they may focus on, there's one commonality they all share, and that's deep relationships with those who grow and raise the very best ingredients. It's the same in beer—you can't be the best at what you do without the meaningful, personal, financial, and long-standing relationships that ensure the brewery has access to the very best quality ingredients. These relationships don't materialize overnight, but for Firestone Walker, they're the product of 30 years of work. In this series, we highlight a number of these crucial growers, brokers, and processors who have played a role in the world-class beer that Firestone Walker makes. *Episode 2: Deep Roots & Twisting Bines * One of the keys to maintaining a consistent supply of the very best hops is long term relationships and deep commitment paired with the very best analytical science and process improvement, and the purpose of this series is to explore just what that means with some of the key players in this story of ingredient quality. In this episode, Firestone Walker Head Brewer Dustin Kral and Bud Hollingbery of hops broker Hollingbery and Son talk about the way that Hollingbery has worked closely with Firestone Walker for decades now to source and process hops, how current dynamics in the brewing and hops industries are impacting hops growers, and a lot more. Over the years, Bud has seen some remarkable change in the hop industry, and he's not afraid to tell you exactly what he thinks. Intro music: VintageGroove / Pond5
