SEATTLE — Students from Grant and Adams counties have been named to the Dean's List at the University of Washington for the Autumn 2023 Quarter.
To qualify for the Dean's List, a student must have completed at least 12 graded credits and have a grade point average of at least 3.50 out of 4. Students are notified that they have achieved this distinction when they receive their grades for the quarter.
UW expects to distribute more than 18,000 degrees to be awarded to UW students, some of whom will receive multiple degrees when they walk the stage.
The Seattle campus includes almost 8,500 bachelor’s degrees, a little more than 4,800 master’s degrees, more than 600 professional degrees, 28 Education Specialist degrees and about 900 doctoral degrees.
The university’s Bothell campus will hand out nearly 1,800 degrees, of which about 1,600 are bachelor’s degrees and the rest are master’s degrees.
At the Tacoma campus, students will walk to receive more than 1,700 degrees with about 1,400 being bachelor’s, 350 being master’s and 18 being doctoral degrees.
Daniel James Brown, author of “The Boys in the Boat” will provide the commencement address at Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium.
A draft of the speech says, “Go for the gold, whatever form that might take in your life. Be audacious in your goals.”

Connell woman killed in Booker Road crash
CONNELL — Charges are pending against a Kennewick man following a collision about 12 miles south of Othello that killed a Connell woman and injured three other people Tuesday evening. A Washington State Patrol press memo said intoxicating substances were a factor. Jessica Zarate, 37, Connell, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash near the intersection of SR 17 and South Booker Road, the WSP memo said. She was driving south on Booker Road approaching the intersection when her car was hit by a pickup driven by John Reiss, 62, Kennewick. Edgar Garcia Quirino, 28, Othello, was driving north on SR 17 and ran into Zarate's car, the WSP memo said. The crash occurred at about 6:40 p.m.

Doors opening: The Currents will provide homeownership for more local workers
About 104 homes are planned at the former Atlas sawmill site
Teachers, nurses, firefighters and other workers who keep Coeur d’Alene running will soon have more places to buy a home in the community where they work. About 104 homes are being planned to be built at Atlas Waterfront, on roughly 10 acres that are part of a swath of land that was once home to the Atlas sawmill and is being redeveloped. Ignite CDA, the city of Coeur d’Alene’s urban renewal agency, is leading this effort.
