As President Joe Biden begins his first few days in office, one city in Washington eagerly awaits the financial assistance that has been sitting on former President Donald Trump’s desk since September.
During Labor Day weekend, the Babb Road Fire destroyed more than 80 percent of the city of Malden. Over 100 homes were destroyed, said Malden Mayor Dan Harwood. About 24 homes survived the fire, and most of the community buildings were burnt, including the fire station.
Since then, the town has remained strong and hopeful that the Federal Emergency Management Agency grant they were approved for would be signed by Trump, said Malden councilmember Scott Hokonson.
