Reed helps open new elections office

Washington Secretary of State Sam Reed helped a number of local dignitaries christen Whitman County’s new $443,000 elections office last Thursday, March 3.

Reed and Whitman County Auditor Eunice Coker capped the six-year project by cutting a ribbon across the handicap entrance ramp of the building at the corner of Main and Upton streets.

“Isn’t this marvelous?” Reed asked the crowd of some-two dozen local officials and residents who turned out for the opening.
