‘What’s the most important thing on the election ballot?’
“The presidential ballot. This
new investigation by the FBI
on Hillary Clinton, and Trump
saying he will fully investigate
her if he gets elected — that’s
what everyone’s talking to me about.”

“It’s the presi-
dent. It’s the most
important offi ce, I
think. Just be sure
everybody votes.”

WARRENTON — A 3.8
magnitude earthquake was
recorded near Warrenton
Wednesday morning.
The U.S. Geological Sur-
vey said the quake occurred at
7:52 a.m. about 5 miles west
of the city.
No injuries or damages
were immediately reported.
Witnesses said the temblor
sounded like a loud crash.
Mayor Mark Kujala said
OBITUARY
he felt the jolt, then checked
in with City Manager Linda
Engbretson.
Police Chief Mathew
Workman felt the quake at his
house in Hammond as he was
preparing to go to work.
“I truly did not know what
it was. I’ve never been in an
earthquake before. I’m from
Nebraska, so this is all new,”
he said.
“I felt about a second of
movement, and then like a
thud, or a pop, or something
like that. And that was it.”
Arthur P. Clark Sr.
Workman discovered it
was an earthquake when
he went on duty. He spent
about an hour driving through
Hammond. At one point, he
checked in on the town’s
Super Mart convenience
store. The staff reported that
nothing had fallen from the
shelves.
On the Warrenton Police
Department’s website, a
woman wrote, “Here’s a
damage report: my plant fell
onto my bed and there is soil
everywhere.”

Nearly half a million in Washington
state impacted by data breaches
Associated Press
OLYMPIA, Wash. — A
new report from Washing-
ton state’s Attorney General’s
Offi ce says nearly a half a mil-
lion residents were impacted
by data breaches between July
2015 and this July.
A new law went into effect
last year that requires busi-
nesses and public agencies
to report data breaches. In
the fi rst year under the new
law, companies and organi-
zations reported 39 incidents
and affected at least 450,000
Washingtonians.
Offi cials believe the actual
number is higher.
The reports came from
hotel chains, telecommuni-
cations companies, a school
district, shipping company
and retail stores.
The report says some
cases were the result of tar-
geted cyberattacks. In other
cases, information was mis-
takenly lost or disclosed.
Attorney General Bob
Ferguson says the report
shows how important it is
that consumers are notifi ed
when their information may
be compromised.
