EPHRATA – In the Grant County Commissioners meeting Tuesday, Public Works staff advised the Commission that speeding has been an issue throughout the county, specifically on Westshore Drive in Moses Lake.
Concerns were raised about a lack of patrolling during nighttime and on weekends, especially while construction is going on in the area. This has raised safety concerns for residents and construction crews on that street.
Grant County Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer Kyle Foreman, in a separate interview, said the sheriff’s office will increase patrolling in the area. Nighttime deputies have been asked to spend more time in the area in order to address the issue of speeding motorists in the area.
According to Foreman, speeding has been an issue in the area for a long time.
“The homes on the water side of Westshore are really close to the road. There's a lot of houses down there and kids,” Foreman said.
The area does have a history of collisions, including a few fatalities that Foreman said he could recall. GCSO’s goal moving forward is to increase safety in that area for anyone traveling along Westshore Drive and nearby areas.

Ross, Char sisters power Mavs past Vikings
MOSES LAKE — The Moses Lake Mavericks (1-5) earned a much-needed win Tuesday as they defeated the Selah Vikings 2-0 at Lions Field. For Head Coach Alysha Overland, this moment wasn’t a matter of if, but when. “We definitely needed it; we were due for one,” Overland said. “We've been putting in a lot of hard work, even in the games we've been putting in hard work. Just haven't gotten the results. This one feels good. Feels like we're hopefully turning the corner now and putting the work that we're putting into practice into the game.” The Mavericks got on the board early, finding the back of the net within the first five minutes of the game. From there, they kept up the pressure in the attack, missing a couple shots on goal while preventing Selah from creating pressure of their own.
Huskies passing game difference maker in victory over Eagles
SEATTLE — The University of Washington Huskies (3-0) defended home field 48-16 against the Eastern Washington Eagles (1-3) Saturday in the final non-conference matchup of the season for both teams. “Thought we did some good things on offense today,” Huskies head coach Jedd Fisch said during the postgame press conference. “There was a couple times that I thought we had some opportunities that we didn’t execute (on), but I felt for the most part we played the type of offense I’d like us to play. Defensively, very disappointed in the penalties. That is not okay to have 100 yards in penalties and multiple drives were kept alive because of penalties. We're too talented on defense to let our emotions get the best of us.”
