Now that we know they will be closing our drive-up Starbucks…where will you go?  Into Safeway?  Espresso Connection?  One of the locally owned Espresso stands?  Who will be the best and most convient now? Who has the best service? Which espresso stand needs to stand up to the plate?  Share your thoughts, many people have only gone to the 211 Washingon location since it  opened.  (Including me.)

What is the best thing about living in Orting?  Is it the spectacular Mountain View and the wildlife that you can glimpse in the early moring mist in the fields along the River, Hwy 162 or Orville Road?  Is it the friendly closeness of a small community?  Tell me what you love about living in Orting!

In a small town of roughly 6000 people, word tends to get around.  Not always all the facts, not always the truth and then there is all that we  don’t hear.  That is why Ortingnews.com is a wonderful tool that we can all use.  It’s a paper for the community by the community.  We all know something, let’s share it! 

But…what do we want to know?  Personally I’m into the schools and youth sports, but that is just me, in my own little world. What about everyone  else who is in a different circle if you will?  If you are retired, what’s important to you?  How about the teenagers?  Parent’s of teenagers and of younger kids?   Pet owners? 

There is news and stories out there for everyone, what is important to you?

I moved to Orting almost 8 years ago to have a safe community to raise my child in, like how I grew up. I’ve felt safe here, he’s have more freedom than kids in the city, and now some idiot has made me feel violated!

I teach my child about stranger danger, but you don’t know how they will really act in a dangerous situation. Heck, I even tell him to start swearing at the top of his lungs to get others attention if something happens.

What do you do to prepare/protect you child?
