On this week’s episode of the STUDIO BASIN Podcast, Senior Reporter Cheryl Schweizer discusses the potential of the Columbia Basin Railroad being sold. The railroad runs from Connell to Ephrata, going through Warden and Moses Lake. Schweizer also discussed REC Silicon and what the company may do with its Moses Lake facility. Next, Reporter Nance Beston talked about Moses Lake School District finances for 2025-26.
