The San Juan Islands are ridiculous for cell coverage. And talk about REMOTE! No hospital ANYWHERE in the islands. Every serious injury is a helicopter transport and TIME CRITICAL. But do you think the island residents will support cell towers TO SAVE A LIFE? It's all about environment, not lives. Do you think the cell companies are rushing to install towers to SAVE A LIFE? It's all about money, not lives. Adults have died due to lack of cell service to call emergency services---but only when a child or 2 dies and the outrage starts will it become important.

You posted her WHOLE NAME on the internet and her birthdate - you told everyone she's 15 andit doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the year! Plus, a picture! Wow!

Having lived in Alaska for 18 years, I believe bear encounters stop one's brain and in ya go to "fear mode." Until you've actually had a bear's yellow teeth and putrid breath in your face, and heard the terrifying grunts the bear makes "up close and personal," and seen the paws with claws as long as Edward Scissorhands...

The attorneys likely got 40% - that's the going rate for sticking your expertise out on the line for free. It takes a lot of time to put together a case like this. I'm so suprised that the ELECTED PROSECUTOR did not file charges against the officer who assaulted his fellow human being. Disclaimer: I am not an attorney, Hispanic, nor have I ever sued anyone, and my Son-In-Law is a policeman (not in Seattle.) I'm just expressing my opinion.

The passerby did too. He should have broken the window. How horrible. I did the same thing a few years ago as the passerby. It was hot and I saw the dog in a car at my workplace parking lot and did not break the window. I thought the owner was gone momentairly. Later, I found out later that the dog had died. The owner was heartbroken. If I had that day to live over again...

Kudos to the state! Whatever it takes, right? Some bloke who has an accident on that "new project" is going to have a hay day suing over the contractor's employee's alcohol consumption!

I know how they feel. We lost my brother, years ago, to a capsized boat and the sea in Alaska. The comments after the news story were cruel. People who had no idea what happened were spouting theories. Healing is a very long road.
