AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

High-Speed Rail Update: WSDOT says it’s cleared federal approval to move into Phase 3 of its Cascadia high-speed rail planning, aiming to connect Portland, Seattle and Vancouver, B.C., with dedicated-track service projected at 160+ mph (and it’s meant to complement Amtrak Cascades). Tourism & Culture: Washington’s poet laureate Derek Sheffield is set to visit Long Beach Sept. 25 for a free public talk and Q&A at the Peninsula Arts Center. Local Events: The Tower Theatre in Central Washington hosts a free-to-students Nancy R. Chandler Lecture Oct. 5 on “The Oregon Cascades: A Story Written in Ice,” featuring CWU geologist Nick Zentner. Nature & Travel Inspiration: A new USGS study maps Lake Chelan’s underwater basins in greater detail, adding fresh context for visitors drawn to the lake’s “cleanest” reputation. Animal-Friendly Travel: WSU veterinarians helped prepare 66 rescued horses for adoption, a feel-good reminder of the region’s active rescue community.
