WAITSBURG-A small herd of whitetail deer swam across the Touchet River on a sunny January afternoon, before running along the levee at the north end of town. What was once a grassy, hard-to-enjoy path has been transformed into a wide walkway, as excavators made necessary levee repairs. Enjoy Waitsburg's walkability, check out the local wildlife, and get some fresh air. Remember to leash your pups, and be sure to remain physically distanced if you cross paths with other walkers.
