U.S. Capitol tree stops by state Capitol

OLYMPIA -- The Englemann spruce that was cut last week near Usk to serve as the national Christmas tree at the U.S. Capitol made a stop by the state Capitol in Olympia Friday afternoon.

Obviously, someone forgot to look at the map. Only something connected to Congress could decide to go from Usk to Washington, D.C., by way of Olympia.
