Raining all over the WASL

A bit of good news today: Spokane schools showed strong scores on the WASL , which was pitched for Page One as relief from the hurricane news. However, we couldn’t put it above the hurricane on the page, and didn’t want to bury it at the bottom, so we’re working on a graphic/teaser that will play prominently on the page and point to the story on the Region cover.

Initial guesses on the New Orleans death toll are in the thousands - shaping up to be one of the worst, if not the worst, natural disaster in U.S. history. We’re working on local angles to the story beyond rising gas prices, if anyone’s got any ideas, feel free to drop us a line .
