In brief: Saturday deadline to mail voting form
Saturday is the deadline to register the easy way to vote in Washington’s Nov. 6 elections, by filling out a form and mailing it in.
Washington residents can find an application form at www.vote.wa.gov, or at most government offices and libraries. It must be filled out, mailed in and postmarked by Saturday for a new voter to be listed on the rolls for the upcoming general election.
Voters who have changed addresses can also fill out a form to change their registration by Saturday.
After that, a new voter who wants to cast a ballot Nov. 6 will have to go to the county elections office to fill out and turn in an application.

Reward offered for carjacking suspect
Secret Witness is offering a reward for information leading to the arrest of a 37-year-old woman wanted on a first-degree robbery charge for her involvement in a September carjacking.
A female driver was burned in the cheek with a cigarette and thrown to the pavement during the West Courtland incident.
The wanted woman, 37-year-old Dana Yvonne Weaver, has a long history of criminal convictions, said Spokane County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Dave Reagan. “Her criminal history dates back more than a decade” and includes forgery, identity theft, possession of a controlled substance and obstructing police.
Weaver is described as 5-foot-4 and 130 pounds with brown hair and hazel eyes.
Anyone with information on Weaver’s whereabouts should call (509) 327-5111. Tipsters do not have to give their name but should leave a code name or number.

Teen’s trial in killing of his parents delayed
The murder trial of a Spokane teenager accused of killing his parents in their Mount Spokane home has been moved to Nov. 26.
Bryan Kim’s trial was scheduled to start Oct. 22, but it has been delayed so he can be evaluated to determine if he is mentally fit. Kim’s defense attorney previously said the Mount Spokane High School senior had been diagnosed as bipolar and was off his medications.
A new claim says he suffered from diminished capacity at the time of the Dec. 5 killings.
He faces two counts of first-degree, premeditated murder in the deaths of Richard Kim, a 47-year old respiratory therapist, and Terri Kim, 46, a Rogers High School math teacher.
Court records show Kim had a history of violent behavior involving his parents. His mother told investigators she was afraid of her son’s anger.
