If the old lighthouse could talk …
It’s an odd thing to ponder, perhaps and certainly not the first place a person’s mind goes when visiting the small waterfront park that juts out into the mouth of Commencement Bay on the other side of the city but Jim Harnish can’t help himself. It’s how the 81-year-old ticks.
“This is the welcoming beacon for maritime traffic into the port,” Harnish said this week of the historic Browns Point Lighthouse, which dates back to a lantern first placed on a pole in 1887 and now serves as the centerpiece of the 4-acre park that bears its name.

Feb. 3 Nancy Hogan s story is common when it comes to looking for COVID-19 vaccines.
Hogan, 84, of University Place, told The News Tribune in a recent phone interview that without being tech savvy and living independently, she s had no luck trying to get vaccinated in Pierce County.
Online scheduling has been out of her reach, she said, as she s not used to modern-day computer technology. I mean I ve been a typist all my life, an office manager.
