The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

MALDEN-Residents, family, friends and supporters of the town of Malden in Whitman County held a day of Remembrance and Celebration on Monday honoring a year of recovery efforts to rebuild their community. Pictured here are local youth and adults retiring the flag that survived the devastating 2020 Babb Road Fire, including members of the volunteer Pathfinders from the Upper Columbia Academy who gave hundreds of hours of work helping residents.  

Numerous other volunteers, donors and agencies have contributed to the recovery effort in Malden and neighboring Pine City including approval of FEMA funding by President Biden. Visit https://www.pinecreekcommunityrestoration.org/our-mission-info/ for more information.
