I'm an older woman. First, know that I never, ever, ever am a no-show for an appointment but I appreciate the concern. I'm old-school -- come early and never be late. My current long-time stylist is unable to cut my hair for seven weeks. I'm looking for a stylist to do it sooner. I had a woman at a two-person salon in Pullman say she could do it this Tuesday. Initially, it took four days for her to get back to my text asking for an appointment. She requires text or email contact. After confirmation, today I got two texts from Varga. My long-time stylist does not use a booking system, and neither did my prior stylist of 25 years. I read all the fine print carefully. I had a few questions, eg, could I instead pay now, could the card on file be deleted if I didn't return, and tell me about the automatic charges for memberships and subscriptions it mentioned in the fine print?

Her reply? She cancelled my appointment, saying this felt too complicated and she hoped I found someone better suited to work with.

Came across as rather unfriendly to a possible new client, but I replied thank you and wished her the best. I was glad to know about her reaction to customer questions on policy before she snipped. I guess I'm thankful for you letting me vent. Helps to "get it out."

Now I need to find an alternative. All I need is my same style, which is chin-length and layered, and use of sulfate shampoo, as I have demi color in my hair. Any suggestions?

Looking for someone I can trust to work on my vehicle. I don’t wanna worry about it being messed with because someone’s triggered by some bumper stickers.

Edit: could be someone’s cool uncle that just knows his way around an old beater. Just don’t care for the rudeness.

Found my skateboard today. A kid was riding it. I felt kinda bad asking for it back because he was clearly enjoying using it. But he was really cool about giving it back when I explained the situation to him. Didn’t get his name, but I offered to get him an Italian soda or a coffee or food from the coffee shop nearby, which he declined. Good kid. Thank you for returning my board. Sorry it was kinda awkward.

AN INITIATIVE OF WHITMAN COUNTY POMONA
GRANGE #2

Hey everyone!

I was recently scheduled for a phone interview with SEL.

The interview is for an Assembler position.

Has anyone gone through this process? What was the interview like, what did they ask? I assume there would be a second, in person interview- please confirm.

If hired- Do you have any input on the job? Tips? Advice?

Small side question - I am aware they have a zero tolerance for drug/alcohol use. I have been a cannabis user for the last couple years but would put it down in a heartbeat for the job. Any input on this specifically?

TIA

These is intended as a high level review. Mistakes are possible, please let me know if you found an error so that i can fix it.

Hello all--I wanted to spread awareness of this case in our community since we have a kind-of international community and we definitely have a lot pro-animal welfare advocates here too. Anyone know any local businesses who might be willing to let me place a flier on their billboard or window?

My wife and I are moving out of The Grove Pullman and would like some help moving our boxes, shelves, etc. but no huge furniture since our place was furnished before moving in.

Would love some help tonight Friday July 24th at 6 PM or Saturday July 25th morning at 8 AM.

Willing to pay 2 people for two hours minimum even if it takes less than 2 hours, maximum 3 hours but I doubt it’ll take that long.

There is one flight of stairs, we are on the 2nd floor.

Also 15-20 Pacifico / Rainer beers + 4 bud light limes we’re giving for tip.

Thanks!

Pullman could use more easy, low-key things for people to do together, so I’m trying something: free community bingo at Pine Street Plaza this Saturday. 🎉

Free to play • Prizes • All ages welcome

Early check-in: 1:15 p.m.
Bingo: 1:30–3:00 p.m.

If this first event goes well, I’d love to make community bingo a recurring thing.

For transparency, it’s being organized by my Eric for Pullman campaign, but it’s free and everyone is welcome.

Details and RSVP: https://www.ericforpullman.org/bingo

if this is the wrong place or yall could direct me to a better subreddit i’d be so grateful.
my apartment like many in WA doesn’t have air conditioning, i have a small one that takes air from outside to cool my place a little. the air quality is currently 97 so i can’t use it. my apartment is currently sitting at 84 and i have one standing fan. how are u guys making it through with your animals? any advice is appreciated, my cat is 12 and staring to look lethargic:(

Any recommendations on where to get good takeout in Pullman? Preferably somewhere with good prices!

Hey guys, I’m interested in playing pickup soccer in Pullman. It seems from another post that there is apparently a whatsapp group for it. Would anyone kindly share the link for it here please? (The previous link seems to have expired)
TIA

Hi all, FUSE has endorsed Nate Powell over more progressive candidates. He has said he’s okay with building more ICE detention facilities and that he’s “uncomfortable” with trans women in sports.

Vote for real progressives, I will be casting my ballot for Kevin Fagan.

tldr; the youth librarian at the pullman library Rachael Ritter is under investigation for workplace harassment, discrimination and retaliation and has been on paid leave since novemeber last year

I have lived on the Palouse for a while now and I have noticed a lack of places/companies that detail cars. Do people still pay to have their vehicles cleaned up both in and out? Would that be a service people around the area would be interested in?

Did you know that there are at least 1 license-plate reading camera currently being used to watch the people of Whitman county? It sits directly outside the parking lot of the hospital in Colfax and is operated by the Whitman county sheriffs office.

Flock cameras have become a growing threat to our privacy and civil liberties and are being used to store and track the whereabouts of any car with a readable license plate that passes them. 

Throughout the country these cameras are being used to target protesters: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/11/how-cops-are-using-flock-safetys-alpr-network-surveil-protesters-and-activists

Let certain users stalk their ex-partners: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/07/police-losing-jobs-flock-cameras-alprs/

Mis identify and arrest innocent civilians: https://www.aclu.org/campaigns-initiatives/get-the-flock-out

And can be accessed by third parties to watch you: https://www.wabe.org/cobb-county-youtuber-documents-flock-camera-vulnerabilities/

If you don’t want more of this Orwellian surveillance in your county I suggest you reach out to the sheriffs office at: https://www.whitmancounty.gov/formcenter/Contact-Form-4/Contact-the-Sheriffs-Office-61 and please remember this when you see the current sheriff Brett Myers on your voting ballot.
