Everyone should come to the Electric City Puppet Show before it’s over. You’ll have a chance to watch the Puppet Master work the Head Puppet and the other five. So far, the Puppet Master has gotten all the puppets to close a road, buy a car, remodel city hall, put up speed signs, put in a park and sidewalks! But have the citizens of Electric City asked for this? At the last puppet show, the Head Puppet did something totally out of character. He made a decision and the other five fell in line with that decision. Once again, it was orc...
Electric City has to be the luckiest city by a Dam site, maybe even the whole state of Washington! Why, you ask? Because Electric City was awarded a Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) Grant to close part of Western Avenue in the name of “public safety” without checking with anyone in public safety.

The residents who live on Stevens Street are even luckier than the rest of us, as you’ll get to see a lot more of your ne...

I’m trying to figure out how Grand Coulee was able to pass an ordinance in just a few short weeks on accessory buildings when Electric City has not been able to do it for at least a year. I am one of the people that have been trying to get bigger accessory building for over a year now. I have been to most planning meetings, public meetings and filled out surveys. Also, most city council meetings when I know they are going to talk about the issue of accessory buildings. If anyone can shed some light on this matter, I would love to hear from y... Full story
The planning meeting Tuesday the 29th of April at 7 p.m. at Electric City city hall is not just for steel buildings, it’s for any accessory building over 850 square feet built out of any materials. If you think you might ever want a garage, shop or other accessory building bigger than 850 square feet, I would suggest you come to the meeting and be heard. Mark Payne... Full story
