HIGHLIGHTS
Inside this week's issue, you’ll find our annual GIVE GUIDE, which highlights the achievements and challenges facing local nonprofits. In the process, it casts a bright light on the enormous issues facing us all as a community. Hunger. Violence. Racial justice. Mental health. The environment. Our kids. Not to mention a global pandemic that’s made everything harder.

It can begin to feel overwhelming, but somehow, every year there’s a hidden message inside the guide: Together, we are strong. Together, our capacity for generosity, for good, is greater than we could have imagined. Together, if we all share a little, sacrifice a little, give a little, this place will get a little better for everyone.

Also this week: 

• Our twentysomething intern Lizzie Oswalt watches Dirty Dancing for the first time and falls in love with the ’80s classic. 

• Staff writer Chey Scott explores the pub-plus-animal-adoption-center called Bark. 

• Staff reporter Samantha Wohlfeil profiles a cohort of WSU college kids who signed rental leases in Pullman only to see their school cancel most in-person classes.

• Staff reporter Daniel Walters profiles a couple of local politicians who have embraced the QAnon conspiracy theory.
